Peter Tosh - Black Dignity lyrics

Lagidamawi rasfetari, medhani alem Tenayistilgn, Igziabhier amlak Qedamawi tekoro, medhani alem Negus nagast, izi Itiopia Lift up thine head, o ye black dignity And be ye lifted up, ye ever-loving black dignity And let the King of kings enter thine heart For in a little while and the wicked shall not be They shall be cut off like the gra** And wither like the green herb So trust in the Lord and do good And wait patiently for Him And verily thou shalt prevail, Selah I branches shall not wither And whatsoever I do shall prosper I shall be like a tree, planted by the rivers That bringeth forth fruit in season, Selah So lift up thine head, o ye black people And be ye lifted up, ye ever-loving black people And the King of kings shall come in, Selah Wake up thine slumbering mentality Come closer to reality Recognize thy dignity, thy integrity, thy quality Fret not because of one who prospereth in his way For in a little while The evil-doers shall be k**ed crum [unverified] paralyzed Love Him and live, hate Him and die Lift up thine head, ye ever-loving black people And be ye lifted up, ye ever-living black people And the Lord, God shall come into thine heart Seek Him and ye shall find Him 'cause He can be found Wake up thine slumbering mentality and live up to reality Live black, love black, think black Our God is black Qedamawi ras fetari, medhani alem Igziabhier amlak, tenayistilgn Tokoro chilola, neguse nagast, Itiopia
