Congo just hear da tune,
Rise inna the palace
inna Ethiopia you there, you know


Well I say woe onto those
who are wise in there own eyes

and yet they prudent in them own sight
Remember say you got,
wolf there inna sheep clothes

Yet things will be alright, oh culture

Living in Rome my people how safe you are

away from your home I say you're oh so far
He has been crowned for fighting so many wars
Black belongs to the throne Melchizedek read the stars

red gold and green honors the earth, fill my heart with joy
You unfold, prince and princess makes your convoy
The land of love filled with righteousness for I and I

keep I safe in your arms Emperor Selassie I

CHORUS

Hail King Selassie, Ethiopia's own devine majesty
Emanuel, holy, holy
Take us home Marcus Garvey


First ancient King of creation,
from the western hemisphere askin for repatriation

cunning words no source of inspiration
causing hurt devising trap on the nation
In there own self will they kill to make it high

I and I, marketin Black people when I saw my rights
Open your eyes, yo


CHORUS
Hail King Selassie, Ethiopia's own devine majesty
Emanuel, holy, holy

Take us home Marcus Garvey

Fi the arc of the covenant ah I ah the carrier,

Fruitful bowl Empress ?Marva? she has been so devine

Let them know we must go to mount Zion, and ah full time
Babylon set the captives free, do you tell Emanuel have the key
So long and so many years you inna Babylon and cry wasted tears


CHORUS
Hail King Selassie, Ethiopia's own devine majesty

Emanuel, holy, holy
Take us home Marcus Garvey


Hey living in Rome Black people how safe you are
away from your home I say you're oh so far
He has been crowned for fighting so many wars

Black created the throne Melchizedek read the stars
red gold and green honors the earth, fill my heart with joy
You unfold, prince and princess makes your convoy

The land of love the land for I and I
keep us safe in your arms Emperor Selassie I


CHORUS
Hail King Selassie, Ethiopia's own devine majesty
Emanuel, holy, holy

Take us home Marcus Garvey

First ancient King of creation,

from the western hemisphere askin for repatriation
cunning words no source of inspiration
causing hurt devising trap on the nation

Babylon in your own self will they kill to make it high
