All my days
Seems like they have been wasted, ay?
But you know
Just goes on to show
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda they spread
Tongues will haffi confess
Oh, I'm in bondage, living is a mess
And I've got to rise up, alleviate the stress
No longer will I expose my weakness
He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness
Work seven to seven, yet me still penniless
All the food upon my table Massa God bless
Holler fi the needy and shelter less
Ethiopia awaits all prince and princess
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best, yes
Propaganda they spread
Tongues will haffi confess
What coulda bad 'bout the East, everybody wants a piece
Africa fi Africans, Marcus Mosiah speak
Unification outnumbers defeat
What a day when we walk down Redemption Street
Banner 'pon heads, Bible inna hands
One and all, make we trod the promised land
Buju go dung a Congo, stopped in Shashamane Land
The city of Harare where Selassie come from
In Addis Ababa, then Botswana
Left Kenya, a end up in Ghana
Oh, what a beauty my eyesight behold
Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda they spread
Tongues will haffi confess
Organize and centralize, come as one
Our seeds shall be so many, more than sand
Some new and replenish pure and clean hand
For too long we've been under this band
Some a save a bag a riches, yet them dead empty hand
Gwan say me stupid and laugh all you can
Easier for a camel to enter through a needle eye
Than it is for a rich guy to enter inna Zion
Take it from I man
So
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no living in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda them spread
Tongues will haffi confess
Oh, I'm in bondage living is a mess
And I've got to rise up alleviate the stress
No longer will I expose my weakness
He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness
Work seven to seven yet mestill penniless
All the food upon my table Massa God bless
Holler fi the needy and shelter less
Ethiopia awaits all prince and princess
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda they spread
Tongues will haffi confess
What coulda bad so 'bout the East, everybody wants a piece
Africa fi Africans, Marcus Mosiah speak
Unification outnumbers defeat
What a day, we walking dung Redemption Street
Banner 'pon head, Bible inna hands
One and all, make we trod the promised land
Buju go dung a Congo, and then Shashamane Land
The city of Harare where Selassie com from
From Addis Ababa inna Batswana
Left Kenya, a end up in Ghana
Oh, what a beauty my eyesight behold
Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda they spread
Tongues will haffi confess
Organize, centralize come as one
