And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright
Jerusalem shall rise
You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Oh

The game up and down just like a yo-yo
Me smoke me sensimilla and full enjoy di show
Babylon speed up so me haffi move slow
Dem sell me lack a knowledge but me lack dem with di flow
Dem teach me to say yes and me still a say no
Dem tell me fi stop and me still go
Dem tell me fi cut and me still grow
Cah Rastafari say so

And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Whoa

The road to Zion rocky but we still a walk
We move outta Babylon dem still a talk
We keep the fire burning and dem shut it off so
Back it off now, judgement time now
Emperor Selassie I rule the earth
I and I bright from birth
No handcuff pon mi wrist
No blood pon mi shirt
Babylon, mi heart still a hurt

So me praise King Selassie I
And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright
Africa shall rise
You nuh seet seh poor people a get wise?
Unnuh ramp with me again
King Selassie I
Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright
Jamaica shall rise
You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Whoa

Dem drop down dem soul
Me nah drop down mi faith
Babylon cries, betta sit down and wait
Cah me well sekkle and me just keep it straight
You reach likkle bit too late

Gwan and praise King Selassie I
And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright
Africa shall rise
You nuh seet seh poor people a get wise?
Unnuh ramp with me again

Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright
Jerusalem shall rise
You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Whoa

Give thanks and praise to The Most High, see me a say?
