"One Away" lyrics

Rastafari an I an I
Love di yutes dem
Repatriation

Woi
Children of men
How long will you be heavy an fine
Tell you don't be vex
Why secret is wine?
Just make it to the east
To salvation an desperate
Well, well
Woi-woi-no

Positively clear
The people in the world keep forgetting dem past
An dem gone astray
So mi bun dem everyday
Dat dem nuh love
Conspiracies a talk an never fail

Positively clear
The people in the world a lust fi dem top class
Neva way, think yuh actually there
Yuh toe yuh guh buck
An yuh a snake inna grass

Mi an di yutes a trod one away
Melchizedek way, yay-ay
So if yuh see mi an di yutes dem trodding
Through di Earth wi haffi trod it
King Selassie way, yeah, yeah
Trodding dis one away
Haffi trod it one away, yay-ay

Dem send 50, 60, 70 pagan
Mi slew dem off in space a one day
Well den you see
The people inna di west
Di wol a dem gone crazy
Love fi big up dem chest
Yet dem deh inna slavery

Dem cyaan nyam nuh food without nuh money
So foolish is the man
In fruitful Zion yet him hungry
A tell yuh seh fi cleanse yuh ways
Clean up yuh fall
Ghetto yute nuh badda gaze
Mi seh a unnu fus fi staat
Babylon a seek soul an heart
Dem done get dem peace an want our half

Dat's why mi come fi trod it one away
Melchizedek way, yay-ay
So if yuh see mi an di yutes dem trodding
Through Jah Earth mi trodding
King Selassie way
Well den, yuh see

Di Prime Ministers know wat a galang
A dem sell out di yutes to di Queen a England
Di wol a dem haffi bow
Wen dem see mi turban
Mi drop every authority fi Babywrong
Melchizedek, order never yet wrong
Come wi chant-i' Nyabinghi fi di black redemption
Unnu careful of yuh words
An di food weh yuh a nyam

From di yutes grow dem own dat's organization
So Bobo Hill better pull fi centralization
An Emperor Selassie is an Ethiopian
Reign in the heart of flesh from Mount Zion
Mi come fi every Israelite out a Babylon
Show mi who will step forth for repatriation
Nuh cut nuh more throat
Nuh badda kill nuh younger one

So rise an tek yuh stan
Yuh better know weh fi walk
Selassie is the Almighty Man
Confuse not your wrath
Dem sight mi turban, conspiracies a talk
Emmanuel, so watch out
Because him a guh wrath

We haffi trod dis one away
Dat's di first and only way
Eh-I
So if yuh see I an di yutes dem trodding through
That's King Alpha an Omega way
Well den

Di wol a dem only secretive
But fi wah mi waan know
Bun dem corners an dem crevices
Wah dat, it even show
I need to see every yutes grow
Living up
Come mek it reason an flow oh, oh
Watch all di seeds weh you ah sow
Cyaan plant corn an a peas yuh wah fi

An mi haffi trod it one away ay-ay
Haffi trod it one away ay-I

Dem send 50, 60, 70 thousand
Mi slaughter dem in space a one day
You see
Mi seh di people dem inna di west
Di wol a dem gone crazy
Yeah
Dem love fi big up dem chest
Yet dem deh inna slavery

Dem cyaan nyam nuh food without nuh money
So foolish is the man
In fruitful Zion yet him hungry
So clean up yuh ways
Cleanse up yuh fault
Youths nuh badda gaze
Because a unnu fus fi staat
Babylon a seek bare soul and heart
Gi up fi him peace an now him want our half

That's why mi come fi trod it one away
Haffi trod it
