Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
And I've got it, I've got it
We've got it, yeah.
Young General a talk, tell anyone at all
Them never coulda want take a part inna harm me
Man a war inna Menelik army
See it, them a move with the message of Garvey
Can't listen who dem elect, hardly
Dem a play fi dem part in a party
Hear say Audley start drive Audi
Beg you pardon, a Bimma me sorry
Lead who them lost we nuh follow them
Organize and form inna one again
Twelve Tribes, you nuh see we with the banner dem
Bobo Hill a talk, walk far, do nuh bother them
Ithiopia, the Ark of the Covenant
Queen Makeda, the start of the sovereign
Selassie I order we governing
We nuh inna none a dem tings, so I say
Ites I a gwaan hold
A love we living in
I&I a pass through
Greetings I bring again
(repeat)
Ites I a gwaan hold
When I&I a pass through
(repeat)
Said I took a break and I loved the break,
Now I'm off the brake, looking to make a break
At a greater stake and the flow sweet like grater cake
Sharper than a grater make
And then I take a date and a make a mate
At a greater pace, naa use razor blade
And grate my face, dem ?fraid a me
Lyrics a penetrate
Nuh hesitate fi make tune generate
That will devastate you, Don say it devastating
With more thoughts than them ever stating
Keep them waiting like thugs in a state bing
Jail or prison system, same thing
Flee the scene with thoughts of escaping
My mind did need fi get right
Clarity wha' we need fi get, so
[CHORUS]
Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
And we've got it, we've got it
We've got it, yeah, yeah.
