How it look from when you dey pretend whoa oh 

[Chorus:]
For there is only one way to go 
and I can only do the good that I know 
Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

no matter where them rise from 
True love is only what the children know 
Dem could never know me

Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

Over on the Ethiopian shore

From them sight rastaman them sight them worst nightmare 
Yo and now them come and chat but look from when we here 
Say dem greedy like a rat with the youths them no share 
so I've got to go and make a home and bless prepare 
Repatriate the ghetto youths them from this hemisphere 
Well you no bother scorn we true we dutty and tear 
True me tent out spread out pun the ground like a spear 
Babylon sight the natty Congo dem no mock and a jeer 
Dem go dis King Selassie get splash out like pear 
How the bongo man fi friend yuh, you sit down inna dem chair 
Swear dem go swear 

[Chorus:]
For there is only Rasta way to go 
and I can only do the good that I know 
Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

And there is only one way to go 
and I can only do the good that I know 
Oh yes for sure oh for sure

Hey no now..

Check the road dem go tek, dem go read the wrong code 
and them end up over next and true dem love fi call

When Rastaman ah chant them neva waa bless 
And Rastaman ah talk them say them neva hear it yet 
But now mi say Rome fi bun you see the bugga dem vex 
You no bother come here with no bad concept
