Part One: Never Tell I

[Verse 1]
They tell I cow jump over moon
And the dish run away with the spoon
They didn't tell I repatriation soon

[Chorus]
They tell I Egypt and Israel in the sky
Oh, how they fool I when I was a child
They didn't tell I Jah Jah is for I and I
I'm telling yes, it's true
I tell the people it's true
They didn't tell I Jah Jah is for I and I

[Verse 2]
I tell you all, my people
When the almighty one
Step foot on this earth
It are go dread, it are go dread
Each onе will be for themselvеs
Sinners, false prophet, all of them are go feel it

I'm telling yes, it's true
I tell the people it's true
They didn't tell I Jah Jah is for I and I
They didn't tell I repatriation soon

I tell you all, my people
When the almighty one
Step foot on this earth
It are go dread, it are go dread
Each one will be for themselves
Sinners, false prophet, all of them are go feel it

[Outro]
I tell you yes, it's true
I tell the people it's true
They didn't tell I repatriation soon
They didn't tell I-
