BUJU BANTON - Til I'm Laid To Rest lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

'Til I'm laid to rest

Always be depressed

There's no life in the West

i know the East is the best

All the propaganda they spread

Tongues will have to confess

I'm in bondage living is a mess

I've got to rise up alleviate the stress

No longer will I expose my weakness

He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness

Work 7 to 7 but I'm still penniless

All the food upon my table Massa God bless

Holler for the needy and shelterless

Ethiopia awaits all prince and princess

[Chorus]

What coube so bad about the East

Everybody wants a piece

Africa for Africans

Marcus Mosiah speak

Unification outnumbers defeat

What a day when we walk down Redemption Street

Banner on heads bible inna we hands

One and all lets trod the promised land

Buju go down a Congo

Stopped in Shashamane Land

The city of Harare where Selassie com from

In Addis Ababa then Batswana

Left Kenya end up in Ghana

Oh what a beauty my eyesight behold

Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold

[Chorus]

Organize and centralize come as one

Our seeds shall be so many more than sand

Some new and replenish pure and clean heart

For too long we've been under this band

Some a save a bag a riches

Yet they die empty hand

Go on saying I'm stupid and laugh all you can

Easier for a caller to go through a needle eye

Than a rich man to enter a Zion

Take it from I man

So
