Selassie I, Baby G, yay
Oh lord, oh lord, oh Lord
My name is so excellent, G.O.D. said
Selassie I, yeay

Jehovah guide me
Be my guidance pray for salvation for me
Jehovah guide me
Be my guidance no they could never stop me

I'm on the rock
(I'm on the rock)
Higher than I an I
(Higher than I an I)

Jehovah guide me, I am on the rock
(I am on the rock)
Go tell my enemies, I'm on the rock
Selassie guide me and a me dem caan stop
I will never look back

Look how much ting dem try
(Look how much ting dem try)
And everything fail
(And everything fail)

Tru mi born pon di gully nuff a try fi tek mi life
And waan mi go a jail, dem waan mi go a jail
With helicopter inna di air
(Helicopter inna di air)

Bright light a shine a ground
(Bright light a shine a ground)
Dem seh nobody move, nobody run
From the river to the bank lock dung
Dem nuh know which part mi turn

I'm on the rock
(I'm on the rock)
Higher than I an I
(Higher than I an I)

Jehovah guide me, I am on the rock
(I am on the rock)
Go tell my enemies, I'm on the rock
Selassie guide me and a me dem caan stop
I will never look back

Music or gal over gun, tell dem nuh stop di fun
'Cause if dem stop di fun dem muss prepare fi stop di gun
Di yutes dem blood a run, dung deh inna di slum
Dem mek a bag a promise and nah fulfill none
Mama cry out

Yuh tink dem response how much innocent yute die out
Look how much sell dem sell and no weh dem nah buy out
If revolution should a start dem rich enough can fly out
Selassie I

Jehovah guide me
Be my guidance pray salvation for me
Jehovah guide me
Be my guidance no they could never stop me

I'm on the rock
(I'm on the rock)
Higher than I an I
(Higher than I an I)

Jehovah guide me, I am on the rock
(I am on the rock)
Go tell my enemies, I'm on the rock
(Warn dem, mi nuh go nowhere)
Selassie guide me
(Selassie I, yay)

Jehovah guide me, need my guidance, oh lord oh lord
Your excellence in thy name inna di earth
One step thy glory I found I an I
Crown King Selassie I dem waan fi get mi weak

But yuhn mek mi strong so mi haffi deh yah
All day and all night long, I'm on the rock
Stronger than ever, Foota Hype [unverified]
I'm on the rock, matterhorn
No, no, no, no, no, alliance fah life
