Hail to the Iley One of Iration
His Imperail Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie

Chorus 1

I’m from a place where there’s only love
where the sun comes up every morning whoa

and praises I and I chant with the rising whoa
Step away get away from the sinking sand
never yuh disobey, yow

Chorus 2

Wah dat di whole ah dem ah gwaan wid’?
who dat di bugger dem guh ‘par wid’? yow

Rastaman ah trod it up it’s like dem never know (x2)

Verse 1

In ah dem yah time yah dem blind

Babylon yuh life totally different from mine
Black, I ah di Lion
And yuh ah di swine

Chorus 2 (x1)

Mi tell yuh,

Chorus

Yow, upper level

Melchezidek tell mi dat nutten’ cyan be hidden

King Emmanuel gimmi di blessin’
