I Do Care Lyrics

Ethiopia reign, yuh know
Brimstone and fire
Selassie I, the High King, first...
Zion, blend
Well, oh nah oh nah oh, oh nah oh nah oh
Oh blaze oh Zion gate

Little were they taught
about the good things around them
or else they wouldn't destroy
History had mark the holocost of the children
heads of government choice
Now they all get caught,
all because of their negligence
What next they implied?
We all pay the cost
Rastafari is sufficient for every girls and boys, oy

CHORUS
I do care I-mongst thoes who share
Are you? Then what are you?
The good you in life will take you there
Are you? Oh, one or two
I do care I-mongst thoes who share
Are you? Then what are you?
Let Emperor Selassie take you there
Are you?

Who will survive inna de concrete jungle?
Oh, the strong knows who
And Selassie I provide upon every man table
Mi say yuh must find food
Fill yuh heart with the joy of life,
make sure you nah nimble
Righteousness *trampoose* yow
Tell dem say, run go tell dem say
this ah de riddim and black and not de blues, o-hoy

CHORUS
I do care I-mongst those who share
Are you? Then what are you?
The good you do to those will take you there
Are you? Oh, one or two

Let Emperess Omega take you there
Dutty crew

Ey I did touch the dark
the ghetto youth dem start rart

No matter how you talk them chat bout dem gun afi buss

Question have ask and yet Babylon answer no got no solution
Ah wouldn't blame de heart whey come trample the fault
and burn Babylon corruption, yo ow
