chronixx – selassie children lyrics

[verse 1]
been laughed at, scrutinized
to the point where i had to ask who am i
then i remember what they do to christ
he was nailed to a cross and crucified
now that the light came to me
i wonder if they’re gonna do the same to me
and when the truth hits painfully
that’s when you know if you’re really who you claim to be

[pre-chorus]
for so long we’ve been denied
rejected and brutalized
but jah children shall win the war
yes, ’cause we know who we are

[chorus]
we’re sel-ssie i children
haile sel-ssie children
we are ethiopians by blood
africa was born in us, sel-ssie children
haile sel-ssie children

we know who we are

[verse 2]
young boy threw away his comb
so his papa told him find a different home
never come back, hold your own
bout you’re a rasta, i wish i never know you, no!
rejected for the life he choose
cast out, all alone
the stone that the builder man refused
shall be the head cornerstone

[pre-chorus]
soon they will realise
that we’ve been reading between the lines
remember we foretold the war
you never forget who we are

[chorus]
tell them, we’re sel-ssie children
haile sel-ssie children
we are ethiopians by blood
africa was born in us

[verse 2]
young girl gotta face the worst
cos her mother just took a look in her purse
she find a clay kutchie and some holy herbs
and the wise mind of haile i the first
mama say young girl you’re losing your mind
did you get these things from satan
she say no mama i got the kutchie from jah9
and the wise mind from i nation

[pre-chorus]
please mama, don’t scrutinise
take this book and give it a try
let this herb open up your eyes
experience the wonders of rastafari

[chorus]
haile sel-ssie children
we are haile sel-ssie children
we are ethiopians by blood
africa was born in us
haile sel-ssie children

[outro]
the battle will be hard
haile sel-ssie children
still we never stall
sel-ssie children
deh ya back a wall
haile sel-ssie children
still di natty never fall
haile sel-ssie children
oh coral garden
sel-ssie children
look at pinnacle
sel-ssie children
still we deh ya now
sel-ssie children
never giving up
sel-ssie children
take no heart gil pain
sel-ssie children
fight the fights in vain
sel-ssie children
even if the battle stains
