[Chorus] It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing strive to live clean It's a serious thing to fight the machines It's a serious thing to know what life really means It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing to link with a queen It's a serious thing if you holding the green Rastfari know what life really means [Ras Ceylon] Nyahbinghi thats the groundation one, two order Now you feel the vibration ancient heartbeat basic What the tracks been laced with chanting over drums In this firm meditation me and my idren facing Crucial situations my crew in different places stays United on the basis of the same confrontations with a common enemy Thats why we keep the fire blazin create our own economy A part of prophecy sparked by Marcus Garvey Who said look to the east because redemption is starting With the crowning of a black king Revelation still happening Conquering lion Jah Lives the earth is adapting You would too if you knew what the beast would do to you In a war for the mind and soul my music gets you through To the other side of freedom please believe I see em Signs of the times be wise overstand the meaning [Chorus] It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing strive to live clean It's a serious thing to fight the machines It's a serious thing to know what life really means It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing to link with a queen It's a serious thing if you holding the green Rastfari know what life really means [Ras Ceylon] Locked up for the herb you ain't heard Better watch where you burn because the laws concerened Bout your self medication healing of the nations They fight the marijuana we deliver it to patients Proper treatments different places been growing for ages But if you got more than an ounce you facing felony cases Trapped in cages like rats in mazes and thats outrageous Nonviolent crimes doing time on a daily basis Keep the ganja plan sacred no part to be wasted It comes from the earth but like life it can be taken [Chorus] It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing strive to live clean It's a serious thing to link with a queen Rastafari know what life really means [Ras Ceylon] There's nothing on this earth like a virtuous woman Queen mother giving birth for generations to grow on I hold strong to the love given from the feminine The only thing Im addicted to is estrogen But im committed to you like His Majesty to Empress Menen Balancing my life heart and feather on a pendulum Already my wife the first night was the ceremony Matriarch matrimony divine her story Glory given to my sistren best friend and wisdom For now we building a foundation for our children [Chorus] It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing strive to live clean It's a serious thing to fight the machines It's a serious thing to know what life really means It's a serious thing to hail up the king It's a serious thing to link with a queen It's a serious thing if you holding the green Rastfari know what life really means
