Lyrics:

[Intro]

The purpose of life (Khari kill again)

It is good that you have taken this picture of me
In my palace garden in Addis Ababa
So it can be known unto the entire world
It was a Jah's call David still slew the lion.

[CHORUS]

Show them a picture of Selassie I.
Then I tell them to protect their life.
You don't see man a ancient monarchy.
With me dagger full suit made from khaki.

[VERSE 1]

Down in the ghetto where enough gunshot a backie
And the rumpshumship Adonai it all mark it.
Babylon a pass come make me mass it.
Turn up the bass and the treble iterated.
Penetrate straight through the cold hearted.
Knowledge is a must, oh yes, I'll blast it.
So tell me what the ras yah asking.
How I survive and surpass this?
Ethiopia where the age should be protected.
The needy never neglected.
And Selassie eye always reflected.
And tell them about David and Goliath.
Youts and them get acquired Babylon say me start a riot.

[CHORUS]

[Verse 2]

Down in the ghetto where enough gunshot a backie.
Hey black woman, to who you ah talking?
Remember me tell ya, 'careful who ya walk with.'
Who gon' save the yout from Blood and Crip-walking?
If the generation take heed to what I'm talking.
Selassie I him a de King of all kings, yo!
I tell them, Selassie never dead.
Rumour them a spread them probably sick in a them head.

[CHORUS]

Show them a picture of Selassie I.
Then I tell them to protect their life.
You don't see say man a ancient monarchy.
With me dagger full suit made from khaki.

[VERSE 3]

Down in the ghetto where enough gunshot a backie
And the rumpshumship with Adonai it all mark it.
Babylon a pass gimme the weed to mass it.
Yo, turn up the bass and the treble make we blast it.
Penetrate straight through the cold hearted.
Education is a must, so yes, I'll blast it.
So you ask me how I survive and surpass this?
Selassie I I I.
Show them, the world yeah. Yeah
Show them a picture x4

[CHORUS]

Show them a picture of Selassie I.
Then I tell them to protect their life.
You don't see say man a ancient monarchy.
With me dagger full suit made from khaki.

Down in the ghetto, down in the ghetto.
Where gunshot, ai.

Another life gone, another one born.

Show them a x4
