Away away
Bascom xKing Selassei!
Jah, So beautiful
He created heaven an' Earth
An' all life forms on earth, yow
They comin' wit da negative,
Tryin to hurt the positive
Can't u see they cannot stop the intitiative
Nutn dat the say or do is neva lucrative
High true Selassei respec dem for wat it is
Burn dem out dem an dem, anamosities
Tryin to diss Emmanuel chil' yow!
Nuff a dem a dwell up ina corruption
Jah me (?)
My blesssing flow like d river niiile,
Well dem tragedy dem tragedy
No come as no suprise to me
They all come tumblin' down, yow
Schemers an' blasphemers
Ina dem sorrows yow, they all goin' drown
Chorus:
My troubles of todaaay
My tragedy and dismaaay
Distress an all my paain
My troubles of todaaay
And i always known dat d enemy,
Come around jus' to obsorb d energy
Dey wanna, pull you down like gravity
Dey wanna see you down an' out in poverty
But none a Rasta children a go beg, nooo
None a Rasta children a go beg, Ethiopia
Rally round d gold an' d green an' d red
Ras Tafari him a d head, yaaw.
(Praise him!)My eyes behold the glory
(Praise him!)No enemy can stan' before i and i
Shall know him shall crumble and fall, jus like d dust over the west.
Away! Away!
My troubles of todaaay
My tragedy and dismaaay
Distress an all my paain
My troubles of todaaay
They comin' wit da negative,
Tryin to hurt the positive
Can't u see they cannot stop the intitiative
Nutn dat the say or do is neva lucrative
High true Selassei respec dem for wat it is
Burn dem out dem an dem, anamosities
Tryin to diss Emmanuel chil' yow!
Nuff a dem a dwell up ina corruption
Jah me (?)
My blesssing flow like d river niiile,
Well dem tragedy dem tragedy
No come as no suprise to me
They all come tumblin' down, yow
Schemers and blasphemers
Ina dem sorrows yow, they all goin' drown
