The reign of the messenJah Has ended before it's begun Selassie the Ethiopian Emperor Was just a devout Christian If he was the Lion of Judah Or Jah as some have said He never kissed mary jane And Jah as he was called is dead Rastas say they fight injustice Oppression and poverty They demonize the other races And claim Ethiopia for eternity The poor black man's Watchtower Society They claim the Messiah has appeared They use the ganja to get themselves closer To a god that has yet to be feared Spiritual inhalation of the herb Is the silliest thing I've ever heard Don't need no weed to get close to God (repeat) You can take your dope and stick it in your rear (repeat) No herb is needed for the service of men The King of kings is seated at the right hand We have no desire for the cannabis We have the One who died for all of us
