"Stand Tall" lyrics

"Stand Tall"

I burn all spies, and all traitors, and all sorcerers, and all confederates
Hail to the I, one of all I-ration, Most Mighty I
Haile Selassie I is the first
Yo, hey!
Yo, again
Judgement

I say, the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
And now dem back against the wall, dem fall
I say, the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
And now dem back against the wall, dem fall

Long time me a warn dem and dem never waan listen
Tell dem, no diss the man weh get the blessing
Listen to the birds when you hear dem a sing
Listen to the leaves all on the tree limb
Watch all the fishes in the sea when dem swim
Every living thing haffi come hail the King
And all the water from the spring
Me sing
Hey

Say, the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
And now dem back against the wall, dem fall
Say, the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
And now dem back against the wall, dem fall

The wicked man fall, but the righteous man stand
Yes, we haffi chant fi repatriation
Black government, we say, black redemption
Emperor Selassie I, the Almighty One
Yes, black people, full time you take a stand
Yes, me haffi burn Vatican
Then me sang, again

All the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
And now dem back against the wall, dem fall
All the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
Now dem back against the wall, dem fall

Well, the righteous man, him must stand for real
Wicked man, dem ago fall pon dem steel
Dem a try eat the youth dem meal
Over your eyes, youth, you take off the veil
And see say King Selassie I is real
No man was worthy to buss up the seal
I wonder how Babylon did feel...
When Ras Tafari did buss the seal?
Now dem can't eat the Rastaman meal
Binghi man a trample dem under a heel
Again, again

Say, the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
Now dem back against the wall, dem fall
Now dem back against the wall, dem fall

Babylon will have to fall
Dem can't rise, not at all
Dem go bow to the house of Saul
To the righteous name, dem never call
So me sing again

All the wicked man will have to fall
And all the righteous man will haffi stand tall
A the wrong man name dem go call
And now dem back against the wall, dem fall

So, me a warn dem and dem never waan listen
Tell dem, no try diss the man with the blessing
Listen to the birds when you hear dem a sing
Listen to the leaves all on the tree limb
Watch all the fishes in the sea when dem swim
