Selassie Children

[00:26.93] Been laughed at, scrutinised
[00:28.86] To the point where I had to ask who am I
[00:31.95] Then I remember what they do to Christ
[00:34.15] He was nailed to a cross and crucified
[00:37.30] Now that the light came to me
[00:39.76] I wonder if they're gonna do the same to me
[00:42.40] And when the truth hits painfully
[00:45.09] That's when you know if you're really who you claim to be
[00:47.96] For so long we've been denied
[00:52.88] Rejected and brutalised
[00:58.57] But jah children shall win the war
[01:02.92] Cos we know who we are
[01:09.12] We're Selassie I children
[01:13.87] Haile Selassie children
[01:19.57] We are Ethiopians by blood
[01:23.24] Africa was born in us, Selassie children

[01:33.21] We know who we are
[01:37.56] Young boy threw away his comb
[01:39.88] So his papa told him find a different home
[01:42.66] Never come back, hold your own
[01:45.15] Bout you're a Rasta, I wish I never know you
[01:48.33] Rejected for the life he choose
[01:51.44] Cast out, all alone
[01:54.30] The stone that the builder man refused
[01:56.78] Shall be the head cornerstone
[01:59.24] Soon they will realise
[02:03.89] That we've been reading between the lines
[02:09.23] Remember we foretold the war
[02:14.18] You never forget who we are
