Oh lord
Oh lord
Tell the people uptown
And the one dem downtown
The general come round
String up your big bad sound
Natty never come down
Ah no me alone
Burning like a fire
The general come round
Like father like son the general ah pass through
Give me little space make me dolly past you
Me nuh 'fraid fi come grab the mic and slew
'Cah me well steam down like a ital stew
General you want so ah general command
First class deejay me well phenomenal
And me ram up any dance with the mic inna mi hand
But if ah real general Selassie I ah di onlu one
Haile Selassie I, conquering lion
Ah from the tribe of King Solomon
Reign and rule over Ethiopian
Reign the believing of the ark of covenant
More than the palace of Jacob and Abraham
So the lord God loveth holy mount Zion
From Queen of Sheba comes David second
Go find the Vatican and tell the people
Tell the people uptown
And the one dem downtown
The general come round
String up your big bad sound
Natty never come down
Ah no me alone
Burning like a fire
The general come round
The general come round
Come round, come round, come round

The city hot like a Kingston town

Trumpet loud like ah Stone Love sound
Tongue confess, every knee bow down
Tell every king weh ah claim dem ah king fi leave di compound when dem buck up on me

Come the general fi say dont move, ease
Tell the people uptown
And the one dem downtown
The general come round
String up your big bad sound
Natty never come down

Good lord, Jah know
