Tarrus Riley - Love Created I lyrics

Blessed love satta Massagana
Igziabeher, Negust, Negast
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe

Give us the teaching of Marcus Garvey
Kebra Negast means 'Glory of Kings'
Give I and I Selassie I and keep
The guy with the blue eyesfor yourself
'Cause people without a vision
Perish like suicide, mmm

You tell me it's not about color
Still you refuse to take the
Picture off the wall woah woah, yeah, yeah
All you do is trick the brothers
Keep them confused
They don't know who to call
On in this Iritical war

And you tell me of a paradise inna sky
But that's a lie and you tell me
I was born in sin and shaped
In inequity when love created I
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, you can't fool me
No, no

Look how they're treating us
This new millennium slavery
I see them hiding the chains
And still beating us daily
And now we're mentally poisoned to
Fight we black skin
And bleaching a the in-thing far
Out and far in, sin

You tell me it's not about color
Still you refuse to take the
Images out your books
I know that's not how we look, Kush
Don't take offense when we shout
"Black power!"
It carries us through, we've been abused
Put yourself in my shoes

And no tell me of a paradise inna sky
'cause that's a lie
Don't tell me, I was born in sin and
Shaped in inequity when love created I, ha!
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, you can't fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe

Doo doo, doo doo, doo, doo hey

Look how they're treating us
This new millennium slavery
I see them hiding the chains
And still beating us daily
And now we're mentally poisoned to
Fight we black skin
And bleaching a the in-thing far
Out and far in, sin

You tell me it's not about color
Still you refuse to take the
Picture off the wall woah woah
All you do is trick the brothers
Keep them confused
They don't know who to call on
In this yah spiritual war

So, no tell me of a paradise inna sky
'cause that's a lie
And no tell me, I was born
In sin and shaped in inequity
Love created I and I
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, you can't fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe
So, no tell me of a paradise inna sky
'cause that's a lie
No come tell me, I was born
In sin and shaped in inequity
Love created I and I and I
Look how many prophets tried
To open our eyes, you can't fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe

You can't fool me, no, no
You! can't fool me, no, no yeah
