Lyrics to Watch Over Me by Lutan Fyah

Strength!
Ceaseless Ises unto The King.
Haile Selassie love is everlasting.
Whoa no.

The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh I'm firm
I must trample death!
The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh
I must conquer death!

It seems to seh dem only come to rape and jeer
Backbiting hypocrits, waan fi treat us unfair
Dem no waan fi si mi rise
And wi dun see it clear!
Dem alla judge wi by di clothes weh mi wear
Den I sidestep dem
Watch how dem coming wid extra gear
A true dem scandalous
Thats why mi nah stay near
Your best friend could be your worst enemy around here
A who dem a try get scared?

The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh I'm firm
I must trample death!
The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh
I must conquer death!

I burn out dem flattering lips
Dem aim fi shoot
But dem gun dem stick
Man ahgo chuck dem inna di grave weh dem a dig
None a dem
Can stop di Rastaman from live!
Mi hear some badmind talk
Mi just guh zip dem up
Dun fyah done spark
Mi nah kick dem up
Pay dem no mind because di devil dun trick dem up
An if dem gwan too bad mi nah guh diss dem up
Hey, mi hear seh dem a walk wid dogs [Nightmare duppy]
Hey, inna dem closet fulla bone
Hey, but The Most High dun protect my soul
Man a RALLY ROUND SELASSIE I THRONE!

The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh I'm firm
I dun trample death!

The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh
I dun conquer death!

The powers of The Most High!
Truthfully known, the wicked man lies
I already mek my sacrifice
Hail the BLACK CHRIST
NO DISGUISE!
The righteous man will rise!
The devil all claim to be wise.

[Repeat verse one]
The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh I'm firm
I must trample death!

The Most High watch over me!
Conquer the wicked give I strength to carry on
Emmanuel watch over me!
When dem come to destroy meh flesh
I must conquer death!
