Testo Blessed - Beenie Man
Testo della canzone Blessed (Beenie Man), tratta dall'album Best of Beenie Man
Blessed
Patriot warrior that's what I am
Blessed be unto thee the Holy Trinity forever
Kings of kings and Lord of Lords
Grand Commander of the tribe of Judah
Blessed
Seen
I sing
Who seek knowledge, get them wisdom increase
Me no believe inna the devil or the mark of the beast
I rather dead before me put the triple six inna mi head
I sing, I sing
Love Jah and live, or hate him and die
And teach us about the Pope and not Selassie I
And we all know the whole of dem a Pope and spy
That's why Beenie Man sing say
Blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
I ask
Who inoculate the ghetto youth dem brain?
Introduce the youth dem to the crack and cocaine
Man a push needle inna dem main vein
Who make the back door deal down the lane?
With the big MAC-11 dem fly down pon plane
President and prime minister, none of you can blame
Two of dem a play inna a rich man game
Man blow the whistle, dem haffi find another lane
Babylon carry come a yard and a change
Rape all the women, send the man fi chop cane
Dem always say we mad when we shout Selassie name
Emmanuel, people say we insane
Like if dem a praise gold, dem waan we do the same
Babylon release the chain and dem a use dem brain
So, blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
Hear this
Inna Jamdown is the land of profit
So why Pope Paul a get the benefit?
Why him never come yah when Gilbert deh yah?
Why him pick fi come when Beenie Man get hotter?
Stream know say me clever, have the world a shiver
Lace up mi shoes and all a buckle up mi collar
Nelson Mandela is a burning desire
Burning from when, from some great ancestor
Who deh pon the mic? No Beenie Man, the master
Oh God, he is my father
So, blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
Preacher man, life after death, don't bring that to I
'Bout your body can dead and your spirit cannot die
Series of grown ups dem a teach man pure lie
And teach you 'bout combusters and not Selassie I
'Bout Selassie blast him, that's why the man die
When me head to the world, water fall from mi eye
Fi see the world a bow down in front this white guy
With tall silky hair and this big blue eye
'Bout him a the son of the Almighty I
A Jah one me fear and no other guy
Selassie I ever live it and can't die
So, blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
From top
Who seek knowledge, get them wisdom increase
Me no believe inna the devil or the mark of the beast
I rather dead before me put the triple six inna mi head
I sing, I sing
Love Jah and live, or hate him and die
And teach us about the Pope and not Selassie I
And we all know the whole of dem a Pope and spy
That's why Beenie Man sing again
Blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
Beenie ask
Who inoculate the ghetto youth dem brain?
Introduce the youth dem to the crack and cocaine
Man a push needle inna dem main vein
Who make the back door deal down the lane?
With the big MAC-11 dem fly down pon plane
President and prime minister, none of you can blame
Two of dem a play inna a rich man game
Man blow the whistle, dem haffi find another lane
Babylon carry come a yard and a change
Rape all the women, send the man fi chop cane
Dem always say we mad when we shout Selassie name
Emmanuel, people say we insane
Like if dem a praise gold, dem waan we do the same
Babylon release the chain and dem a use dem brain
So, blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
Hear this
Blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs are done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I say Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
