    Lyrics
    Legitimate or not
    Some claim indemnity from the original plot
    As though their integrity cold still be intact
    What is likelihood of that
    when if you trace the source of each resource they’ve got
    They’re tapped into the veins of the masses the system maintains
    Feeding on their youthfulness and draining from their brains
    Then when the weak ones are rejected armed and turned toward the strife
    They return with force and take away their life
    But make no mistake
    There is life in abundance for all to partake
    So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
    But too many put feelings in the place of love
    We all are the same
    the essence of life in this physical plane
    And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
    Yes I remember the censorship of showing your roots
    Deception with no lye conditioning for the youths
    Straightening their follicles while twisting their minds
    Replacing old tradition with their programs for decline
    But as I rebel my natty swells defiant of the taming
    My natural advantage I’m proclaiming
    These spirals map the course of life and represent the force of life
    Connected to the source of life
    So make no mistake
    There is life in abundance for all to partake
    So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
    But too many put feelings in the place of love
    We all are the same
    the essence of life in this physical plane
    And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
    From the days of Menelik and Makonnen
    King man them a hackle, ites up in the tabernacle them
    a so we tackle them, slew them in the battle then
    because them have we lock up and a herd we like a cattle then
    So no me naa go hestitate fi draw
    whether it be the weapon or the herb in a me Jaw
    the earth in a me paw from the first vision i saw
    incision of the chord that did tie me to mama
    we learning what we want
    understand the boy dem cant, violate the covenant
    it carries universal law
    so who fi curse weh Jah bless we leff them in a awe
    it work withouth a flaw, from in a addis ababa
    no we naa go harbor, a hotta hotta laaava
    make up u mind which side you deh can't stand up pon no border
    So,which one you rather, riches now or after
    one life you live, you sure of that?
    well watch it come back harder
    what bout the curse you ago lef you son and daughter
    a try scrape up the broughta, in a drought a dash weh water
    no make them heathen deh go stray you from you path
    cause even when u dead you can't go escape them ya wrath
    So I have no fear
    And though I have no enemy I am aware
    That the few seek the plenty for themselves
    And justice is rare without material wealth
    When we delegate our fate to someone else
    but fortunately, I claim dominion over my destiny
    with the wisdom and power from knowledge of the key
    the tree of life is rooted in me
    so even in the midst of trials I am free
    so make no mistake
    There is life in abundance for all to partake
    So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
    But too many put feelings in the place of love
    We all are the same
    the essence of life in this physical plane
    And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
    so make no mistake
    There is life in abundance for all to partake
    So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
    But too many put feelings in the place of love
    We all are the same
    the essence of life in this physical plane
    So nothing can restrain the love,
    you just have to claim it you just have to claim it
    you just have to claim the love
