[Intro]
Blessed!
Preacher a query of what I am
Blessed be unto Thee, the holy trinity forever, King of kings and Lord of lords, conquering lion of the tribe of Judah
Blessed, seen
I sing
[Bridge]
Who seek knowledge, get dem wisdom increase
Me no believe inna the devil or the mark of the beast
I rather dead, before me put the triple six inna mi head
I sing, I sing
Love Jah and live, or hate him and die
They teach us 'bout the Pope and not Selassie I
And we all know the whole of dem a Popus pie
That's why Beenie Man sing say...
[Chorus]
Blessed be thy name
For certain wrongs I've done, who is to take the blame?
It's a shame
Blessed be thy name
I see Babylon a work, and dem a work in vain
[Verse 1]
I ask!
Who inoculate the ghetto youth dem brain?
Introduce the youth dem to the crack and cocaine?
Man a push needle inna dem main vein
Who make the backdoor deal down the lane?
Fi the big MAC-11, dem fly down pon plane
Presidents and prime ministers, none you can blame
Two of dem a play inna a rich man's game
Man blow the whistle, dem haffi find another lane
Babylon carry we come a Yaad under chains
Rape all the women, send the man fi chop canes
Dem always say we're mad when we shout Selassie's name
"Immanuel!" People say we're insane
Give dem a praise waan we do the same
Babylon release the chain and dem a use dem brain
