Praise Ye Jah by Sizzla Lyrics
[Intro]
I did behold
Until the proud was casted down, yeah
Have the ancient of days is King Hailé Sélassié I Jah, you know
With his garments as white as snow
His hair as pure as wool
[Chorus]
Praise ye Jah
Hail di emperor
King of Kings
To a fullness
Have to express
Jah Jah that I hold within
Praise ye Jah
Hail di emperor
King of Kings
To a fullness
Have to express
Jah that I hold within, unnoo sing
[Verse 1]
Jah Rastafari we ah praise
Hail King Sélassié always, oh yes
Just like ah Shumba
I ah nah go turn an recant another in Sélassié I name
Ah nuh Malcolm X or Martin Luther this
Ah Sizzla weh come fi trick, all of yuh tricks
I see Bob Marley rise, and unnoo kill di prophet
Why yuh don't kill those standing on yuh pulpits? No
You use them to steer the minds of the youths
And as they preach
The youths cease from knowing the truth, but
This is the truth about our circumstances
I see how yuh constantly building churches
But ah yuh church defend the slackness as usual
Rasta no mix up with, homo
[Chorus]
Praise ye Jah
Hail di emperor

Have to express
Jah that I hold within
Praise ye Jah
Hail di emperor

[Verse 2]
Jesus and his disciples, they're all black
And so were the ancient of days
Hey, Sizzla say that the truth is real
Make it known to boys and girl
Just make yuh brain for a time dem your worst
Weh hear yuh ah talk 'bout Jesus, ah who that?
I know him as the Nazerite, the offspring of King David
No condemn Sélassié I, idiot
Earth's rightful ruler
He's from the same line
[Chorus]
Praise ye Jah
Hail di emperor
King of Kings
To a fullness
Have to express
Jah that I hold within
Praise ye Jah
Hail di emperor
Sélassié I, King of Kings
To a fullness
Have to express

[Verse 3]
Hey

Think I no know you're amongst those who instigate slavery against my people? Yeah
Only quote a few Psalms so that you could have to come we
We have a knowledge you know, we done perceive, woy
From start to finish
I have to outline the fact

[Chorus]
