HAIL KING RASTA LOVE

HAIL KING RASTA LOVE

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: The Pressure]

Look pon the street, the pressure tight 

Babylon walls dem block out the light 

Concrete jungle, yeah, it hard and cold 

Stealin' the freedom from the young and the old 

Dem sellin' vanity, dem sellin' lies 

While the poverty showin' in the children eyes 

Mi soul is restless, mi belly is thin 

But I and I know how the fight must begin.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hear the thunder rollin', feel the earth it shakin' 

It's time to gather all the seeds we been takin' 

From the earth, from the rhythm, from the ancient drum 

Hail King Rasta Love, let the kingdom come!

Hail King Rasta Love, let the kingdom come!

[Chorus]

Oh, the rain keep fallin' on the righteous man 

But the fire inna mi soul, my Jah understand 

We nah fear Babylon, we nah fear the chain 

Only I and I seeking, seeking Zion again! 

We breakin the cycle, yes, we breakin the mold

 Walkin' in the love here’s how the story is told.

[Verse 2: Spiritual Glimmer]

Mi say, Jah the witness, standin' in the breeze 

Whisperin' truth through the mango trees 

We don't need dem plastic, we don't need dem gold 

Just the strength of the spirit, love brave and bold 

So lift up your weary head, sister and brother

We gonna walk, walk through the valley together 

If dem try fi divide us, if dem try fi attack 

Keep the unity strong, there ain't no lookin' back.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hear the thunder rollin', feel the earth it shakin' 

Time to gather all the seeds that we been takin' 

From the earth, from the rhythm, from the ancient drum 

Hail King Rasta Love, let the kingdom come!

[Chorus]

Oh, the rain keep fallin' on the righteous man 

But the fire inna mi soul, my Jah understand 

We nah fear Babylon, we nah fear the chain 

Only I and I seeking, seeking Zion again! 

We breakin the cycle, yes, we breakin the mold

 Walkin' in the love here’s how the story is told.

[instrumental]

[Bridge: The Prophet's Call]

Too much fuss and fightin', too much bitterness and spite

Dem worship the dollar, dem extinguishin the light 

But the message is clear, as is sent from above 

Only solution is redemption, redemption and love! 

Mon let go the ego, let the roots take hold 

This freedom struggle, worth more than silver or gold!

[Outro]

Zion bound... Yes we’re Zion bound

Step out of Babylon ground...Yes we’re Zion bound

Keep on rockin', children... mon, keep the faith strong... 

Jah bless the sufferers... to him we belong

From the earth, from the rhythm, from the ancient drum 

Hail King Rasta Love, let the kingdom come!

Hail King Rasta Love, let the kingdom come!
