Lyrics to Yad The East by Queen Ifrica

How wi say Truck Back [To the world].
A music we say for like, you know.
And we nah beg no friend from the enemy.
A Selassie I wi praise and bun heathen.

Haile Selassie I neva lose a fight yet.
Like how the sun neva witness the night yet.
Darkness neva overcome light yet.
And the wicked neva sew no good seed weh ripe yet.
You neva see Haile Selassie I a hype yet.
And the Man neva biggup wrongs ova right yet.
Babylon say them have the vision but dem no sight it.
But if a credit card dem ready fi go swipe it.
So mi say.

Yad the east or forever hold your peace.
The lioness will overcome blessed is the meek.
So mi say.
High scandal microchip dem a release.
And don’t you see you’re in the belly of the beast.
So mi say.

Rastafari shall set the people free.
Free how you want to, free how you want to be.
Ova land this the Zion ova sea.
Free how you want to, free how you want to be.
Babylon not mi sista, mi cousin, mi bredda.
Wi none related.
And dem associate with, dem a obligated.
And dem war of aggression weh dem dominated.
High society, new technology, system navigated.
Computer world, dem fascinated.
AK-47 dem assassinate with.
Di Lion The Tribe Of Judah dem no waan fi stand with.
They only come to show us hatred.
Then a so di rise of the people get manipulated.
And from di simple things dem a isolated.
If you know the gate will fly then why you hesitated?
One sound from the kette dem eliminated.

Yad the east or forever hold your peace.
The lioness will overcome blessed is the meek.
So mi say.
High scandal microchip dem a release.
And don’t you see you’re in the belly of the beast.
So mi say.

Trample dem, Trample dem, Trample dem.
Trample dem fi real.
And Nyahbinghi man to honour you just buss the seal.
Yo. Pull down the corner cause wi nah go mek no deal.
Run and diss the gully side when light Fyah and you ‘heal‘.

Selassie I neva lose a fight yet.
Like how the sun neva witness the night yet.
Darkness neva overcome light yet.
And the wicked neva sew a good seed weh ripe yet.
You neva see Haile Selassie I a hype yet.
And the Man neva biggup wrongs ova right yet.
Babylon say them have the vision but dem no sight it.
But if a credit card dem ready fi go swipe it.
So mi say.

Yad in the east or forever hold your peace.
The lioness will overcome blessed is the meek.
So mi say.
High scandal microchip dem a release.
And don’t you see you’re in the belly of the beast.
So mi say.

Rastafari shall set the people free.
Free how you want to, free how you want to be.
Ova land and distant Zion ova sea.
Free how you want to, free how you want to be.
Babylon not mi sista, mi cousin, mi bredda.
Wi none related.
And dem associate with, dem a obligated.
And dem war of aggression weh dem dominated.
High society, new technology, system navigated.
Computer world, dem fascinated.
AK-47 dem assassinate with.
Di Lion The Tribe Of Judah dem no waan fi stand with.
They only come to show us hatred.
Then a so di rise of the people get manipulated.
And from di simple things dem a isolated.
If you know the gate will fly then why you hesitated?
One sound from the kette dem eliminated.

Yad the east or forever hold your peace.
The lioness will overcome blessed is the meek.
So mi say.
High scandal microchip dem a release.
And don’t you see you’re in the belly of the beast.
So mi say.

Trample dem, Trample dem, Trample dem.
Trample dem fi real. . .

    Any chance you could do Coconut shell, Don't sign, and/or Gathering satan's army?

    It seems mostly the "pop" songs lyrics are available. There are Some Good ones at urban lyrics at: http://www.urbanlyrics.com/q/queenifrica.html.
