[Intro]

(Selassie I)

Mhm, who, woy

Dem rise against me (Valley of the shadow of death, I shall never fret)

Dem mussi think say dem can stop me from sing

('Cause I saw the light, no more darkness)

(Selassie I put mi inna the light) And everything

(Yeah)

[Chorus]

One man mi fear, right di Messiah

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no water

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real, all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill we sons and daughta

[Verse 1]

Tell dutty mind, badmind fi fence we

Dem coulda neva live fi bench we

Cause to Jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days

So we basket nuh empty

And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi

Mussi through mi a lead by far and them see

Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time

From mi mek mi entry

[Chorus]

But a one man mi fear a di fada

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no water

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real, all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill we sons and daughta

[Verse 2]

Seh weh you wan' seh, do weh you feel

Mi nuh beg fren so we coulda neva deal (real)

From yuh try stop e meal

Seem like you a send mi to di bakklefield

Press weh you wan' press a you a steal

Run weh you wan' run, a yuh a wheel

Then straight up, then coulda the weh you feel

Man a soldier so mi coulda neva kneel

[Chorus]

One man mi fear, right di Messiah

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no water

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real, all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill we sons and daughta

[Verse 1]

Tell dutty mind, badmind fi fence we

Dem coulda neva live fi bench we

Cause to Jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days

So we basket nuh empty

And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi

Mussi through mi a lead by far a them see

Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time

From mi mek mi entry

[Chorus]

But a one man mi fear a di fada

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no water

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real, all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill we sons and daughta

One man mi fear, right di Messiah

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no water

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real, all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill we sons and daughta
