Tafari tries to get a job
|
Ten letters behind his name.
|
Born up in the cornfields
|
Tafari doesn't the game
|
The game has not respect for life
|
Even less for rules. Winners only need apply,
|
Sorry no rooms for fools.
|
Tafari, looks up to the stars and
|
Wonders if there's life on Mars
|
Some say, he should shave his head,
|
But he's proud to be a dread.
|
|
Chorus:
|
'cos I'll be stronger.
|
For the truth, I know takes longer
|
I've the cunning of the tiger and the
|
Wisdom of the trees.
|
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
|
I look forward to tomorrow
|
I'll release my anger,
|
'cos I'm proud to be a dread.
|
|
Selassie, tries to find a home,
|
To rest his weary head.
|
A place where he can take his girl
|
To share his spiritual bed.
|
When he's greeted at the door,
|
The sign has changed his tune.
|
Though his Queen is full of child, sorry.
|
There's no room.
|
Selassie looks up to the clouds,
|
He curses hard and shouts of out loud.
|
Remembering his father's words,
|
A whisper from the dead.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
'Cos in this life, you have to
|
take a chance, or why else live at all.
|
'Cos in this life, to climb a mountain,
|
sometimes expect to fall.
|
'cos in this life nothing comes easy,
|
if it does, it has a price.
|
'Cos in this life a martyr suffers,
|
look at Jesus Christ
|
