An so great is di man gwan be praised
Selassie I liveth everytime
I say Jah shall execute judgement and justice
An none shall escape, lawd a mercy
What me say
Selassie I liveth everytime, what me say

Boy you could-a put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty

A long time he a tell you bout the dirty slavery
A long time he a tell you bout di brutality
A long time he a tell you bout di H.I.M. prophecied
Me warn you bout recent monarchy
Me warn you all about the Black liberty
Me warn you all bout we equality
Me warn you all bout Marcus Garvey
We beg you have fi love His Majesty
Selassie I, soul that take me
Selassie I, power a di Trinity
An X amount of nation bow don pon dem knee
No stop from beg an dem no stop from flee
An nowhere to run and there is (oh boy!)
Put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty

A long time me a tell you no dis di angel
All against di sun but dem no stop from rebel
All up in di sun but you relyin' yuhself
It seems like yuh under colonial spell
Of di Pope gangsta time murder so much Israel
Forbidden Anti-Christ will send yuh soul go to hell
Di prophets all proclaim an dem no stop from rebel
'Nother wolf in sheep clothes (oh boy!)

Put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty

If yuh open up di wings an tell dem fi exit
Cuz know Anti-Christ an now gon worship
Aye! Selai for di righteous an di wicked haffi perish
With dem religion and dem whole poli-tricks
Half di people dem a turn an half di people dem a twist
Now shoot dem dem love a hear trick dem cherish
Get em some M16 an some rusty 'matic
After de whole a dem from gone then push up dem fists
Leave de ship dem a strip yuh must get punish
Cyaan esape your judgement stand up (oh boy!)
Put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty (sowa!)

An mountain but there will be no rock, no rock
They gonna run to di rocks
An mountain but there will be no rock (so what we say)

Nuff a dem a run to dis dis yah look some haffi run

Run anna run anna cyaan stop run

Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty
