Selah Know what they longing for Know what they longing for And I’ve got it, I’ve got it We’ve got it, yeah.
Young General a talk, tell anyone at all Them never coulda want take a part inna harm me Man a war inna Menelik army See it, them a move with the message of Garvey Can’t listen who dem elect, hardly Dem a play fi dem part in a party Hear say Audley start drive Audi Beg you pardon, a Bimma me sorry Lead who them lost we nuh follow them Organize and form inna one again Twelve Tribes, you nuh see we with the banner dem Bobo Hill a talk, walk far, do nuh bother them Ithiopia, the Ark of the Covenant Queen Makeda, the start of the sovereign Selassie I order we governing We nuh inna none a dem tings, so I say
Ites I a gwaan hold A love we living in I&I a pass through Greetings I bring again (repeat)
Ites I a gwaan hold When I&I a pass through (repeat)
Said I took a break and I loved the break, Now I’m off the brake, looking to make a break At a greater stake and the flow sweet like grater cake Sharper than a grater make And then I take a date and a make a mate At a greater pace, naa use razor blade And grate my face, dem ‘fraid a me Lyrics a penetrate Nuh hesitate fi make tune generate That will devastate you, Don say it devastating With more thoughts than them ever stating Keep them waiting like thugs in a state bing Jail or prison system, same thing
Flee the scene with thoughts of escaping My mind did need fi get right Clarity wha’ we need fi get, so
[CHORUS]
Know what they longing for Know what they longing for Know what they longing for And we’ve got it, we’ve got it We’ve got it, yeah, yeah.
