BONE LIE

Menghistu yuh lie
with yuh rumour yuh causin pure
strife

CHORUS:
bone lie bone lie
what dis yuh tellin i an' i
bone lie bone lie
yuh trick yuh dog but yuh cant
trick I
is not de first dem want we doubt
wat wi faith is all about
is not de first dem want wi sing wi
song
by de rivers of babylon
now dem com agen
wolves in de lion den
want to discredit I an' I
wid dem big bag a bone lie

chorus

1935 to 1975 dem seh rasta yuh
god dead
some get bummy an' shave dem
head
but all who stan'
we must si de promise lan'
faith is de substance of things
hope for
an' de evidence of tings not seen
patience can sometimes hurt yuh
but its still a virtue

Chorus:
though it may seem like some
gone astray
rasta will still rise a next day
though it may seem too great a
task
our love for Selassie I will never
mask

he who laugh last laugh de best
de race is not for de swift
but who can endure de test
yuh kill I today yuh cant kill I
tomorrow
today you laugh tomorrow your
sorrow
no matter what you say
rasta deyah fi stay

Chorus

have faith my idren and sistren
have faith
afrika awaits its creators
have faith my idren and sistren
have faith
afrika awaits its liberators.
