lyrics

Thanks and prize to his majesty King Haile Selassie I
he gives the support to beat down the Babylonian for us to have peace and equal rights and justice for all
But I still see to much blood shade around people are crying for peace

Now Tell Me

What a we fighting for
My brothers what’re we fighting for
Why‘re we fighting
When we should be united

Am saying

There is no need for booming shooting
There is no need of making forcing and fighting
There is no need of shading to much blood
There no need of sitting down there and crying

No need of risking some people life
Yes I don’t want to see people been pressured
No need No need
All you have got to do is to pray……

Just hope and pray....
Cause I, know yes I know things will be better
Just hope and pray.....
Cause I know yes I know life is more important
Just hope and pray.....
Cause I know yes I know things will be better…
Just hope and pray......
Oh yes I, know oh oh oh oh life is so hard….

Yes I am a Rastaman And I am proud to be an African6
So don’t take me for granted
Coz I, should be there to make every thing completed

My brothers I can see them surround you
Now you have to be strong and play our role
Honest its better to tell the truth and run away
Than to lie and be caught

Ghetto youth you don’t have to give up on this
No matter how had life it is
It is good so good to kneel your knees and praise Jah Jah
oH yes I help to pray the day will come life will be easier

Just hope and pray....
Cause I, know yes I know things will be better
Just hope and pray.....
Cause I know yes I know life is more important
Just hope and pray....
Cause I know yes I know things will be better
Just hope and pray....
Oh yes I, know oh oh oh oh life is so hard....

Listen what I have to say very careful my brother and sisters
Friend and enemies

Listen
Once upon a time there was a certain King
That his name was Haile Selassie his father ras Mackonen his imperial majesty
He suffered at all to rescue
You and I from captivity to be free and to have peace

But if I look out here the way people are living nowadays Heh!
Is not like they use to be before you know..
all over the world come reports of increasing lawlessness and crime
Crime of violence such as murder rape robberies
But there is only one thing

That can bring back peace and love between us
And to have peace among us
Is to hope and pray. Saving one King, one destiny and one people

Mama tries so hard to feed her children today tomorrow still no food at home
Papa died in a Babylon a very long long time a ago and life its still
Going harder

Just hope and pray....
Cause I, know yes I know things will be better
Just hope and pray....
Cause I know yes I know life is more important
Just hope and pray....
Cause I know yes I know things will be better…
Just hope and pray.....
Oh yes I, know oh oh oh oh life is so hard….

Preserve all your people oh jah jah
Preserve your people jah
I found peace and love in jah jah
I preserve jah in Lord
