Yes people, yes whola people, world a people!
Especially I and I black people,
Mi a chat to unnu inno.
Yuh try a little grudge, yuh try a little, corruption,
Yuh try drugs.
Unnu just a say love an unnu naah try love.
Well right now inno,
Wi a follow the prophets and the priests from the days before, yea.
So Jah Jah say and all his prophets before wi,
Say wi fi live in love and unity, yea!
So Rasta say and all di races before wi,
Say wi fi live in love and unity!
So Jah say, Africans come together,
East west north and South Africa.
Imploma say, wi must unite together,
If wi nuh organize and unite wi nuh have a future.
Selassie say, let there be a united Africa,
And Ethiopia fi be the headquarter.
But some fool guh behind the back of the son of Jah Jah,
From dat day until now wi don't stop suffer.
Yuh nuh want to unite and organize with your brother,
But yuh quick to smoke and drink liquor with a stranger.
When mi waan more than black I wish dat I get blacker,
This is a black lion heated so inna temper.
Could never forget the struggle of poor mama Africa,
The big ship it a sail cross the water.
An now di ship it guh dock up inna Jamaica,
Step offa di ship fi face plantation owner.
Whip a buss cross mi back an' a tear mi shoulder,
Mi haffi run away like mi bredda whey dem call Kunta.
Runaway to stay inna Runaway Bay,
The struggle of Africa cannot go away.
It hitch up inna mi brain mi rewind an' play,
So the younger generation nuh bow to folly.
So Jah say, Africans come together,
East west north and South Africa.
Imploma say, wi must unite together,
If wi nuh organize and unite wi nuh have a future.
Selassie say, let there be a united Africa,
And Ethiopia fi be the headquarter.
Listen! Black is wi joy and pride,
How can you forget that is the same boat wi ride?
Kill wi one anedda an' a promote genocide,
Whey di hol a dem a, guh wid dem Satan vibes.
Hurt mi so much mi haffi mek a lot a noise,
Dig up corruption from under disguise.
Bring reality to the yute them eyes,
Show dem nuh fi follow di pope and his guys.
Tell dem say accept the knowledge of the wise,
So dem don't be a victim being victimized, yeah.
So Jah Jah say and all his prophets before wi,
Say wi fi live in love and unity, yea!
So Rasta say and all di races before wi,
Say wi fi live in love and unity!
If the Jews do not forget Hitler and his army,
How can we forget the struggle which is slavery?
Things that the wicked duh do not seems to amaze mi,
Cause dem nuh build no school fi educate wi pickney.
Instead dem build jailhouse and penitentiary,
Unjustified judge waan find wi guilty.
An dem think a ghetto yute a menace to society,
So you check you ma brother and me check me.
An bring more love inna di black community,
Unity is strength between you and me.
So Jah Jah say, and Rasta say.
So Jah say, Africans come together,
East west north and South Africa.
Imploma say, wi must unite together,
If wi nuh organize and unite wi nuh have a future.
Selassie say, let there be a united Africa,
And Ethiopia fi be the headquarter.
