Words of The Week: As In The Beginning by Sizzla Kalonji

As In The Beginning
Go weh man!
Cause we no love pagan
Memba dat
Blessed
Whenever you take part in the uprising of the Black child
When them see we face, dem a run come smile
Well red!
Soil, dem get soil. Soil dem get soil. Soil, dem get soil
As Emperor Selassie I was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall beeeee
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To His Own Divine Majesty
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To the whole ghetto community
Nuff a dem look fi Selassie, yet dem greedy fi wealth
Mek me tell yuh:
Yuh cannot be looking out of yourself
How close are you to Zion?
Inna Emmanuel Tabernacle, have you ever knelt?
Confuse not your heart, power from the source
Black child of The Zion is of the eastern coast
What life has taught me is to love and not to boast
No teach di youth dem bout no damn holy ghost
As Selassie I was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall beeeee
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To His Own Divine Majesty
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To the whole ghetto community
Mi haffi holla out
I
& I
& I
Are the royal son of King David so babylon
Why
You try
To deny
The ghetto youth loyal knowledge?
Red, gold and green with the Black five point star
Banners shall flow, inna every village
Mi tell yuh say - Repartiation no deh far
Get yourself ready
And come we go pon babylon bridge
When money caan dweet
And there is no food to eat
From mi nah go take the street, now dem a bawl and a weep
Ah dem a call fi peace, waan grab and run weh alla di wheat
But Bobo Hill dem soon caan seet
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall beeeee
Be glorious, yow while I sing
To His Own Divine Majesty
Red!
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious in your powers while I sing
To the whole ghetto community
We tell dem say
Everything them provide
Come we chant all Nyahbinghi inside
The Royal Palace, ghetto youths just be wise
Ah unuh haffi rise
Come mek wi open up wi eyes
Ah tell you say:
Me haffi chant down River Nile
Babylon me just come and career get soil
Yow, I want to live it up and trod a Nine Mile
Memba that city yow, ahgo tun living reptile
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall beeeee
Be glorious, inna your powers while I sing
To His Own Divine Majesty
As Emmanuel was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious in your powers while I sing
Marcus Garvey love ghetto community
Babylon dem a look fi Selassie, yet dem greedy fi wealth
Mek me tell yuh:
Yuh cannot be looking out of yourself
How close are you to Zion?
Inna Emmanuel Tabernacle, tell me have you ever knelt?
Confuse not your heart, power is the source
The Black child of The Zion deh pon the eastern coast
What life has taught us is to love and not to boast
No teach di youth dem bout no holy ghost
As Selassie I was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall beeeee
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To His Own Divine Majesty
Red!
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To the whole ghe. . .
