[Beenie Man, Steve Perry Cherry Poppin’ Daddies - Ola lyrics]
This is Ras Moses
Dreadlocks, well before one
Selassie words shall
Pass Zion and earth shall boom like ball
Tell me whey di hell a gwaan a dance hall
Inna 1957 wen tings just a settle down
When a near independence and
Selassie never come
Outa back a wall a whey di
Bobo camp did settle down
Housing sheme did all a build up
Tings a bulldozer dung
Emmanuel mek a wall and a bull bay di man tun
Whey him build a di bobo
Camp and everyone was welcome
Outa Marcus Garvey a tun
Him eyes pon kingston
Whey him build di bobo camp
And everyman was welcome
Bobo camp an institution for the old
And yound for historical fact
Go deh go siddom
Forty three years of work everything overcome
Now emmanuel dead, everything tumble down
The hill divided in a three
Separated bu three sons middle sex
Priest Donavan rule the daughters
And the sons over surrey
Priest Lennon a pure fire him bun
Priest mallard gone a prison fi
Nearly bun di hill dung
Right now a one million bobo deh a jamdown
Sellasi seh before one a him word shall pass
Heaven and earth shall bun up like a ball
Tell mi whey di hell a gwaan a dance hall
Build more bridge and bruck dung all wall
Who a di prophet fi Selassie army guardsman
Who start the dance hall business gueardsman
Who mek brigadier di general guardsman
So mi seh hail king Selassie
And nuh exalt the flag
How some bwoy outta road a galang so bad
A more buff baff a cuss god
Mi siddown and mi wonda
Tell dat to the son and dem daughter
But mi sing alog
All people whey know seh man affi free
And man nuffi go round and have
Bad mind fi other one
Rasta fi know dem fi live togedda
And fi organize and centralize
And know sey everyman will be
Strong in this time
So everyman waan stand up pon a next man foot
Why a next man cyan help a
Next man which is down
Meck mi tell yuh something man
If yuh bredda a say something wrong
An' yuh see day you can change him
It's up to you to teach him that he can learn
To say the right in three times
So let's cut out all the
Fight and bad mind living and everyone sing
Sellasi seh before one a him word shall pass
Heaven and earth shall bun up like a ball
Tell mi whey di hell a gwaan a dance hall
Build more bridge and bruck dung all wall
Dreadlocks, well before one
Selassie words shall
Pass Zion and earth shall boom like ball
Tell me whey di hell a gwaan a dance hall
Inna 1957 wen tings just a settle down
