Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time
Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time

At ease is peace we seeking
So all a try fi disturb a distance we keeping you away
From the treasure that you're sniffing 'round to take
But you cannot penetrate
'Cause even if you find the yard
You cannot breach the gate
Leaving you waiting in vain and love you all the same

But yuh nuh heard core, yuh cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time
Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time

Sip what you grow
Grow what you sip
Permaculture keep
The poison from you're lip
The food stuff, the youths up
Strictly organic
Community immunity
From every politician
Breaking the addiction brothers finally
Find freedom to show love
Within the family
Real power generating, potential creating
When the epitome of masculinity

Is hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time
Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone

A just Selassie I alone, Haile Selassie I alone
A just Selassie I alone see I alone

Now the Iyata can't compromise the link
Before she open up the star gate
She really haffi think
Is it just desire, what will it require
Do you have the strength to hold it
You let it reach the brink
Are playing a game or do you know your role
Are you willing to wager your soul
Will you be a victim beaten
Stranded at the barrier
Or bravely ascending as a warrior to goddess

To hardcore, a she a claim the victory
Cause her heart pure and her mind, eh! a hardcore
Selassie I alone a mek heart sure

Eh! Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and you're mind
Bout dem harcore when a Selassie I alone, a just Selassie I alone

[Haile I Selassie I closing remarks to The United Nations, 1963]
The problems which confront us today are, equally, unprecedented. They have no counterparts in human experience. Men search the pages of history for solutions, for precedents, but there are none. This, then, is the ultimate challenge. Where are we to look for our survival, for the answers to the questions which have never before been posed?

We must look, first, to Almighty, Who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason. We must put our faith in Him, that He will not desert us or permit us to destroy humanity which He created in His image. And we must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls. We must become something we have never been and for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us. We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community
