'Hail Fari' by Pressure Busspipe

Conquering Lion
Selassie I!
Most powerful
Yeah it’s Pressure
Whoa!
He rules over heaven and earth
Bless me from birth

Ten thousand heathen surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, hailing Fari
When the wicked man wish to see me die
I keep hailing Fari, Rastafari yea
When the heathen surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, hailing Fari
When the wicked man wish to see me fall
I keep hailing Fari, Fari

Jah Jah show me a sign
Nuff ah dem have eyes to see, yet still dem so blind
Some ah dem have ears to hear but dem no inclined
Dem nah know seh love and righteousness fi combine
Black man just know yourself inna dis perilous time
Babylon only waan fi nyam out yah skull like swine
Tell Queen Elizabeth mi need back everything that’s mine
Only Emperor Selassie mek di people feel fine

When the wicked man surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, King Rastafari
When the heathens wish to see me fall
I keep hailing Fari, Rastafari
When the heathen surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, Rastafari
When the wicked man wish to see me fall
Keep hailing Fari, Fari

Mi hail King Selassie
Ah wah dem ah deal wid?
Dem ah move like ah claffi
Couldn’t dem heart dem fill wid
Only love, is what Selassie buss di seal wid
Mi somke di marijuana
Dat mi use fi get heal wid
Dem no, got no vision, none at all
Dem don’t love Selassie I, dem follow John Paul
Tell dem seh wi stand firm and wi neva fall
King Selassie IIIIIIIII rules over all

When the wicked man wish to see me fall
I keep hailing Fari, hailing Fari
When the heathen surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, King Rastafari
When the wicked man surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, hailing Fari
When the heathen surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, hailing Fari

Jah Jah you’re so worthy, worthy
Just go before me
Make things sturdy, sturdy
Oh Jah
You’re so worthy, worthy
Most High go before me
Make me sturdy
Most High!

When the wicked man surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, King Rastafari
When the heathens wish to see me fall
I keep hailing Fari, Rastafari hey
When the heathens surround I & I
I keep hailing Fari, Rastafari
When the wicked man wish to see me fall
I keep hailing Fari, Fari

You know it’s always good to give thanks and praises unto the Most High
You know what I mean?
[Satta Massagana] Health and strength and prosperity to all
Long lasting life and prosperity you see? . . .
