[Intro:]
Yeah! know yuhself...more life,strength
Ahha!

To the King of Kings
Original thing

[Chorus A:]
Why should I wanna hurt my brother just for vanities?
Why should I wanna hurt my sister for the least of things?
When I know I and I lives and reign and rule over everything
Nothing nor no-one gonna stop us now from doing the right thing

[Verse 1:]
The people had became a victim,whoa!
Because the system had make it so
Don't take no bribe from no politics,no!
Scribes and Pharisees,I see them below
One black love,is dat I come show
Just listen to this musical vibes that flow
From the seed what you sow,it bear the fruit for today and tomorrow

[Chorus B:]
Why should I wanna hurt my brother just for vanities?
Why should I wanna hurt my sisters for the least of things?
When I know Rastafari lives and reigns over everything
Nothing nor no-one gonna stop us now from doing the right thing

[Verse 2:]
I was born to protect black people pickney dem
Innocent little one to conflict,but dem
Mih bound dem out from hailing or just clear mih conscient
Cyah sell me out for not ah red cent
Righteousness is what the people want
Heathen rage? tell dem be not so ignorant
Take it one step at a time

[Chorus B]

Nothing nor no-one gonna stop us now from doing the right thing

[Chorus A]

[Verse 3:]

So never let the pagan deceive yuh
Speak the truth for the children to believe yuh

Ahhow!
Nothing nor no-one gonna stop us now from doing the right thing!
