You say you love me,
Kisses wrapped in scented envelopes
I don't doubt your sincerity
But to love me, you got to understand me
Understand the philosophy that drives this entity
I don't follow the crowd
Prefer to be quiet rather than loud
Not expecting to be justified by the laws of man
Africa is where I stand
An ancient African warrior from an ancient African land
You say you miss me
Hearts entwined in synchronicity
But do you know what it means to be me in this society
Trapped by the cries of humanity
Forever fighting for equality
My soul bonded in a covenant of spirituality
Hail the I
Wrapped in the cloak of Rastafari
The power of the holy trinity
Negust Negast
Speaking the language of emergency
The dreams I dream
Has an African gleam
To ride on a beam of pure fire
Hot and uncorruptable
Burning with desire
Got to take this struggle higher
On this chariot of destiny
There is room for you
Are you coming?
Rasta business is no joke business
Can't you see I am about my Father's business
Ras Tyehimba
