(Verse 1)
Go ask dem
When man a suffer, who go mi things?
When dem a hold mi down
Who go mi wings?
Pon the battlefield a who meck mi win?
Rastafari come prove everything
Who gi mi blessings?
Move every sings
Who meck mi ever fit and nuh haffi go a gym?
And when dem try fi stop mi light a who nuh meck hi dim
Who a the general? Sela**ie a the king yeah
(Chorus)
A Jah a rub bout yah
Bout yah, a him a run bout yah
Bout yah, a vanity some bw bwoy go sell him out fah
But I a stay straight, I a Jah, Jah, soldier
Man children Jah a run bout yah
Bout yah, a him a run bout yah
A vanity some bwoy go sell him out fah
But I a stay firm, I a Jah, Jah, soldier
(Verse 2)
Yes, mi proud fi be a shepherd
In a mi heart when mi a step hearth
Mi try wid mankind and get hurt
But mi nuh cry because mi know seh dem a leopard
Jah is the start and the end
You nuh know that just try again
Time now, just check the message weh mi send
Mi tell you seh mi write and mi nuh pen
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Half have never been told
Suh mi keep Jah, Jah, in a mi soul
Deep in a mi bone
Jah, Jah, a the big man, without apology
Suh when dem send pagans fi colla mi
A dem send the walk fi come swallow mi
And send virus fi come hurt up mi allergy
(Repeat Chorus)
