Chorus:
When I rise
Early this morning
I see love, I see love in front of me
Yow again
When I rise
Early this morning
I feel Jah Jah, Jah inside of me
Yow again
It no tek nuttin ata all
Fi hail the king
Him bless mi in a what mi doing
It no tek nuttin ata all
Fi hail the king
Selassie I the king of all Kings
Verse 1
What it takes a man to gain the world
And loose his soul
Prophesy it haffi full fill
Jah Jah works haffi unfold
To the young and the old, the blind and the dumb
The hype and the meek, the weak and the strong
Give Jah Jah thanks, and just carry on
Chorus
When I rise
Early this morning
I see love, I see love in front of me
Yow again
When I rise
Early this morning
I feel Jah Jah, Jah inside of me
Yow again
Verse 2
Rise with mi princess mi haffi give praise
Ma two little kids a more love mi a raise
Jah bless mama and bless papa
And bless all mi bad minded neighbor
I just like to see my people live on
A fool with no King
With righteousness
Bridge:
Cause it no tek nuttin ata all
Fi hail the king
Him bless mi in a what mi doing
It no tek nuttin ata all
Fi hail the king
Selassie I the king of all Kings
It no tek nuttin ata all
Fi hail the king
Him bless mi in a what mi doing
It no tek nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all
Verse 3
Yow yuh could a black or white mi see purple or blue
Love is for me and mi seh love is for you
Ask the wicked man see a weh him a go do
When him buck up in a fi him waterloo
Hype dem a hype a to a ketch a flu
When mi pass thru dem a wonder a who?
Tell wicked man them say dey ga haf fi get boo
Fire,fire, fire fire burn dem
Chorus
When I rise
Early this morning
I see love, I see love in front of me
Yow again
When I rise
Early this morning
I fell Jah Jah, Jah inside of me
Yow again
