How Dem Flex

(album: Praise Ye Jah - 1997)

Yoo Jah Jah ride up on the wind
Facing all the earthly things
Hail the King of Kings
look at the tidings he brings
uno see it

[CHORUS:]
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail King Selassi and the whole ah dem
then, we no friend, hotta fire bun dem down again
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail Queen Omega and the whole ah dem
then, we no friend, hotta fire bun

We comin like thunder, just like earthquake
Some ah dem ah run fi cover inna dem secret place
Lightning ah tun them over like porridge in a plate
Bun down ah flesh nyam and dem nah know dem space
This is the Nyabinghi height, majestical lift
Yes mi know dem inna faith we just ah juggle mystic
Rasta youths I love bun dem rights and writs
Powers to my voice read the words from my lips

[CHORUS:]
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail King Selassi and the whole ah dem
then, we no friend, bun dem down with fire all again
To how dem ah flex Rastaman have to rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail Emanuel and the whole ah dem
then, mi friend, fire all ah bun dem again

Just watch them speech, beyond the lookout
Sizzla see it so the East is my route
Stand up on your feet cuz this ah more than joke
Involvin Soddom ism and ah snort them coke
but all who from out Sellassie I bound to take root
bud, blossom and full this earth with fruit
Jah pour more rain and wash the pain from the youths
It take no strength to tell the truth
uno fruit

[CHORUS:]
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail King Selassi and the whole ah dem dey
mi friend, hotta fire bun dem down again
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail King Selassie and the whole ah dem ah ben
mi friend, lightning and thunder

Tell dem no chat bout we hyper we ah move too fast
Things must be done we come fi do all that they part
Long bout you come to deal the strife and rart
Your duties you nah done and you see it you ah skylark
Beating off your gum when you hear we ah talk, halt
that is where you've got the fault, uno see it

[CHORUS:]
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up pull up pull up
Well hail King Selassi and the whole ah dem dey
mi friend, hotta fire bun dem down again
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull up inna dem shell
Hail Queen Omega and the whole ah dem dey
mi friend, Hotta Fire!!!

Movin form we like thunder, just like earthquake
Some ah dem ah run fi cover inna dem secret place
Lightning ah tun them over like porridge in a plate
Bun down ah flesh nyam and dem nah know dem space
Check it well Reubenites Jobbok all be your space
Nyabinghi heights, majestical lift
Ghetto youths I ment and bun dem rights and writs
Powers to my voice with the words from my lips

[CHORUS:]
To how dem ah flex Rastaman afi rebel
as them see we dem all ah pull inna dem shell

To how dem ah flex Rastaman have to rebel

Cuz Jah Jah ride up on the wind
Facing all the earthly things
