Rejoice

Ah, me say things get bitter in the west
We haffi head to the east
Ah, you done know Sizzla Kalongi ever bless
You see it, you see it
Selassie I, ah, Prince of Peace

Tell you just be nice and live it up, me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Just be nice and live it up, me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari

Some fightin' for power when love lead the multitude
Every second every hour children calling out for food
They want to go to school in clean clothes and pretty shoes
Give us now because mama say promise is a comfort to a fool

Teach them to love them one another
Love stop them from killing of each other
Follow the words of your fathers and your mothers
To hurt yourself, I tell you don't you bother, hey

Just be nice and live it up, mi nah lie
