Song Lyrics

Warning warning been warning them from morning (ay)
Hear the voice of the most I Jah Rastafari calling
Remember I tell you
Blessed is the man
Blessed is Selassie I (Rastafari)
Memba I tell you (King Selassie I)
Blessed is the man
Blessed is Selassie I (ay)
Haile

Ithiopia stretch forth her hands
And gave us the redeemer of all man
Defender of the faith, and an Ethiopian
He's the captain, the chief, field marshall, sergeant
Bowing at his feet, 72 nation
Ras Makonnen was crowned conquering lion (king)
Ababa Janhoy father of Africans with
Empress Menen I stand at his right hand

Meanwhile, inna Jamaica land, whole heap a trial and tribulation
Chastisement was upon all African
Bustamante seh kill all rasta man
Wah kinda Selassie that unuh a call 'pon
Trim dem and bring the whole a dem a station
Never in the name of my king of England
Will I ever live to see the rasta man redemption

But when the two six clash, that's when the plane land
King of all Kings touch down in Kingston
Would you believe, so said so done
Bustamante blind, couldn't see when the King come
Some a dem deaf and mi seh some a dem dumb
When them rise up against Haile Selassie kingdom
You politician with yuh evil agenda
Any how yuh diss jus' remember

Remember I tell you
Blessed is the man
Blessed is Selassie I (Rastafari)
Memba I tell you (remember)
Blessed is the man (so blessed)
Blessed is Selassie I
Haile

Dem seh blessed is the man that walketh
Not inna the counsel of the vagabond dem
Selassie seh fi dash it, put the fire pon dem
Lava splash, lightening flash, thunder crash upon dem

Queen Elizabeth and dem a plan it from when
A seh Jamaica prison we a drop it pon dem
'Cah fi we prison yard, man a pack it from when
Tell Cameron seh that is not we problem

Pope Francis and all him Vatican friend
A spot we tourbus and put the tracking pon dem
A check we schedule and dem a map it from
When 'thru the power of the trinity we slap it pon dem

Selassie I a God and we a God's children
Eventually we grow to be Gods till then
We affi gwaan do the works wah Selassie intend

Empress Menen she a the strength fi women
Divine feminine that a the vibe weh she bring
When Sec mek a sting, she destroy everything
Yet still inna the womb life is within
She a di melanin absorbing light in my skin

Haile Selassie slew Goliath with the sling
Mussolini foot get tie up with the string
Dem seh them require mi fi sing
Nah follow them evil agenda, beg unuh remember

Remember I tell yuh (Rastafari)
Blessed is the man
Blessed is Selassie I (Haile Selassie I)
Memba I tell you (hail him I)
Blessed is the man (so blessed)
Blessed is Selassie I

Ooh (hail him I)
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man (Rastafari)
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man (hail him I)
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man (Rastafari)
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man
Blessed is the man, blessed is the man

Bablyon could never take away Jah Jah blessings, never
Rastafari goodness endureth forever, through all generations
Even in the 21st century, Ethiopia still unconquered
And the Lion of Judah still slew Goliath
Yeah remember
Please remember, I tell yuh
So, blessed is the man
Blessed is the man
Blessed is Selassie I
Haile
