Ethiopian Sons Lyrics

Ethiopian Sons lyrics

(Featuring Garnet Silk)

-P. Barrett-

 

Garnet is long time we have something

To tell the world you know

 

So it was in the beginning

And a so it is straight unto the end

Nothing is new under the sun

So it was written

So it must be done seen

Ethiopian sons

Step up Jah sons

 

Garnet Silk's Verse:

We made a vow we promised

We're gonna keep it

We don't need your consent

We're God's instrument

I'm sure that we're fight

So we devoted our lives

To tell the world of the things we see

And what is to be

 

Watch me now now

From we a youth we no stop seek the truth

Inna Jah army we get recruit

No must a rebel that

And me nah tell no lie, we no stop try

Be the good sons of the most high

'Cause every man get a vision and have a mission

But not everyone going make the tradition

Some living illusion through position and possession

That cause division and bad decision

Stand haffi lake and we must draw the line

Remember who you are don't forget 'bout time

As you wake you feel the vibes

And as you sleep you see the signs

So make we go on spread the message to all mankind

 

Ai, yai, yai, yai, yai

Make a joyful noise unto Jah

Again Ethiopian sons

 

Garnet Silk's Verse

 

That decorated scene weh no stop attractive

No stop invitation fi come over come live

But through we mind done make up and we well positive

We just a do weh we have to do and don't get discourage

Because we mind a we thoughts and we works a we heart

Is prepare 'cause we swear and we already start

Are you really ready for this some people might ask

But with the powers of Jah we can deal with the task

Ai, yai, yai, yai, yai

From we a youth we no stop seek the truth

Inna Jah army we get recruit

No must a Rebel that

And me nah tell no lie, we no stop try

Be the good sons of the most high

No must a Rebel that

We expect the unexpected and we know we get a fight

But we know how it go when you start see Jah light

But we going to continue to do what is right

Feed the people with the words who have the appetite

I hear voices of people saying that we are strange

But we still nah change, nah rearrange

We shall be happy for the promise we keep

'Cause we know a weh you sow man, that you gwine reap

Ai, yai, yai, yai, yai

We won't change, won't rearrange

We'll find a way to break the chains again
