Dread and Terrible

[Verse 1]
Sent by the king, watch them wondering
Wha mi fly down for
Fi step on the beast and kick down riddim
Like a Sly Dunbar
We burning the system we tell the youths
Seh fi fight gun war
Uplifting mi sistren, tell are seh
Selassie I loves her
Peeniewallie, Babylon the system falling
But this is just the beginning
Beginning of the grand finale
Finale because eventually we get the cause
Seh we fi stand up tall and we fi gang up
Cause united we stand, divided we fall
And wheel out, ease!

[Chorus]
Walk with the Prince of Peace
Selassie a the leader
Praises be to the Kings of Kings
Alpha and Omega

Wooo-oh-oh-oh, Selassie a the leader
Wooo-oh-oh-oh, Alpha and Omega
[Bridge]
Guiltiness is on their face
And bloodshed on their shoulders
Turn from your sinful ways, yeh
Before lightning strikes all over

[Verse 2]
Whole heap a atrocity weh you
Cause 'pon ghetto youth
Then you have the audacity
Fi come give me gun fi shoot
And a chat how you lock the city
Well this is the ugly truth
When you bring all the guns come give me
Mi give it to my recruit
Big revolution when time the guns them turn
Turn 'pon the old politician
Weh being coming the first place
You should've fund education
Fi make the youth them learn
Instead you buy ammunition
And you want come run a next turn
Go run up under your bed, boy
Put your hands on your head
Mi terrible and mi dread
Corrupted politician fi dead boy
What happen to Coral garden, down at Tivoli Garden
Come like you pree every garden
No revolution breach every garden
Go put this up in the Gleaner
Mi want it reach every reader
If you no live like Haile Selassie
You no fit fi be Chronixx leader
[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Never gonna stop until my people are free
As it was in the beginning, so shall it be
In the last days when the youths them a pree
Dread and terrible
Give thanks and praise for the King of Kings
Praises be to the Prince of Peace
No stop give thanks and praise to Alpha and Omega
Empress Menen
Haile Selassie I
Chant it again!
