Sizzla: Rejoice

Ah me say things get bitter in the west
we affi head to the east
Ah you done know Sizzla Kalongi ever bless
You see it, you see it
Selassie I ah prince of peace

[CHORUS:]
Tell you just be nice
and live it up me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Just be nice
and live it up me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari

Some fightin for power
when love lead the multitude
Every second every hour
childern callin out for food
they want to go to school
in clean clothes and pretty shoes
Give us now because mama say
promise is a comfort to a fool
Teach them to love them one another
love stop them from killing of eachother
Follow the words of your fathers and your mothers
to hurt yourself I tell you don't you bother
Hey!

[CHORUS:]
