Tarrus Riley - Marcus Garvey

Give us the teaching of Marcus Garvey
Kebra Negast means, Glory of Kings
Give I and I Selassie I, and keep the images of lies
For yourself
People without a vision, perish like suicide

You tell me, it's not about colour
Still you refuse, to take the picture off the wall
All you do is trick the brothers and keep them confused
They don't know who to call
In this spiritual war
No tell me, of a paradise in the sky
When that's a lie
And no tell me
I was born in sin and shaped in inequity
When love created I
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, you cyaan fool me

Look how they're treating us
New millennium slavery
Hiding the chains and still
Beating us daily
Now we mentally poisoned to fight we black skin
Mhmm...
And bleaching a the in thing, far out and far in
Sin

You tell me its not about colour
Still you refuse, to take the picture out your books
I know that's not how we looks, kush
All you do is trick the brothers and keep them confused
They don't know who to call on
In this heretical war
Don't tell me, of a paradise in the sky
And that's a lie
And no tell me
I was born in sin and shaped in inequity
When love created I
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, you cyaan fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe...

Give us the teaching of Marcus Garvey
Kebra Negast means, Glory of Kings
Give I and I Selassie I, and keep the images of lies
For yourself
People without a vision, perish like suicide

Give us the teaching of Marcus Garvey
Kebra Negast means, Glory of Kings
Give I and I Selassie I, and keep the images of lies
For yourself
People without a vision, perish like suicide

You tell me, it's not about colour
Still you refuse, to take the picture off the wall
All you do is trick the brothers and keep them confused
They don't know who to call on
In this heretical war
No tell me, of a paradise in the sky
When that's a lie
Don't you tell me, I was born in sin and shaped in inequity
When love created I
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, cyaan fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe...

So no tell me, of a paradise in the sky
When that's a lie
And no tell me
I was born in sin and shaped in inequity
When Jah created I
Look how many prophets tried
Look how many prophets tried...
