I&I - Intellectual

[Intro]

Selah

Know what they longing for (yeah yeah yeah)

And I've got it, I've got it

We've got it, yeah

[Verse 1]

Young General a talk, tell anyone at all

Them never coulda want take a part inna harm me

Man a war inna Menelik army

See it, them a move with the message of Garvey

Cyaa listen who dem elect, hardly

Dem a play fi dem part in a party

Hear say Audley start drive Audi

Beg you pardon, a Bimma me sorry

Lead who them lost we nuh follow them

Organize and form inna one again

Twelve Tribes, you nuh see we with the banner dem

Bobo Hill a talk, walk far, do nuh bother them

I-thiopia, the Ark of the Covenant

Queen Makeda, the start of the sovereign

Selassie I order we governing

We nuh inna none a dem tings, so I say

[Chorus]

Ites I a gwaan hold, a love we living in

I and I a pass through, greetings I bring again

Ites I a gwaan hold, a love we living in

I and I a pass through, greetings I bring again

Ites I a gwaan hold, when I and I a pass through

Say ites I a gwaan hold, when I and I a pass through

[Verse 2]

Said I took a break and I loved the break

Now I'm off the brake, looking to make a break

At a greater stake and the flow sweet like grater cake

Sharper than a grater make

And then I take a date and a make a mate

At a greater pace, naa use razor blade

And grate my face, dem 'fraid a me lyrics a penetrate

Nuh hesitate fi make tune generate

That will devastate you, Don say it devastating

With more thoughts than them ever stating

Keep them waiting like thugs in a state bing

Jail or prison system, same thing

Flee the scene with thoughts of escaping

My mind did need fi get right

Clarity wha' we need fi get, so

[Chorus]

Ites I a gwaan hold, a love we living in

I and I a pass through, greetings I bring again

Ites I a gwaan hold, a love we living in

I and I a pass through, greetings I bring again

Ites I a gwaan hold, when I and I a pass through

Say ites I a gwaan hold, when I and I a pass through

[Bridge]

Know what they longing for

And we've got it, we've got it

We've got it, yeah, yeah

[Repeat Verse 1]

Young General a talk, tell anyone at all

Them never coulda want take a part inna harm me

Man a war inna Menelik army

See it, them a move with the message of Garvey

Cyaa listen who dem elect, hardly

Dem a play fi dem part in a party

Hear say Audley start drive Audi

Beg you pardon, a Bimma me sorry

Lead who them lost we nuh follow them

[Chorus]

Ites I a gwaan hold, a love we living in

I and I a pass through, greetings I bring again

Ites I a gwaan hold, a love we living in

I and I a pass through, greetings I bring again

Ites I a gwaan hold, when I and I a pass through

Say ites I a gwaan hold, when I and I a pass through
