Diamond & Pearl Lyrics

Sizzla Diamond & Pearl

As you know, yeah, yeah
Bless dem now Kalonji
We say hail to the high one of iration
Emperor Hailie Sellasie I you know
The black king of Etiopia
Black nation rise, hey

If it's diamond & pearl dem pon your mind
It's gonna fade away then whoa oh
The people is the earth so be not unkind
How it look from when you dey pretend whoa oh

For there is only one way to go
And I can only do the good that I know
Oh, yeah, for sure, oh, for sure
I've got to tear the wicked man down
No matter where them rise from

True love is only what the children know
Dem could never know me
'Cause them a heads too low
Oh, yeah, for sure oh for sure
Got to take the ghetto youths
Over on the Ethiopian shore

Babylon get scared
From them sight rastaman them sight them worst nightmare
Yo and now them come and chat but look from when we here
Say dem greedy like a rat with the youths them no share

So I've got to go and make a home and bless prepare
Repatriate the ghetto youths them from this hemisphere
Well, you no bother scorn we true we dutty and tear
True me tent out spread out pun the ground like a spear

Babylon sight the natty Congo dem no mock and a jeer
Dem go dis King Selassie get splash out like pear
How the bongo man fi friend yuh, you sit down inna dem chair
Swear dem go swear

For there is only Rasta way to go
And I can only do the good that I know
Oh, yeah, for sure, oh, for sure
I've got to tear the Babylon down tear dem down

And there is only one way to go
And I can only do the good that I know
Oh, yes, for sure oh for sure
I've got to touch that African shore
Hey no now

Oh well I've seen some many faces
Gone so many places, ah, Rastaman, ah, go through
Oy, I know of their disgraces
Bun them out inna every cases, yeah

Tell them nothing nah new
Ay, the woman upon her traces
Want I drop them laces fi dem children one or two
Rasta foundation cyar break it, well, you better take it

Yeah nah reek and nah screw
Check the road dem go tek, dem go read the wrong code
And them end up over next and true dem love fi call
'Nuff ah dem, ah, get test yo and dem mix up inna too much filthiness

When Rastaman, ah, chant them neva waa bless
And Rastaman, ah, talk them say them neva hear it yet
But now mi say Rome fi bun you see the bugga dem vex
You no bother come here with no bad concept

Listen the words from yuh tongue yo chek your dutty flex
Neva waa show the ghetto youth the fullness so ah trap dem go set

But there is only one ah way to go
True love is only the good the youths dem know
Oh yeah for sure oh for sure
I've got to tear the hethen down bring dem down

True love is only what the youths dem know
And I can only show the ghetto youths the way to go
Oh yeah, for sure, oh, for sure
I've got to tear the wicked man down
No matter where them rise

If it's diamond & pearl there 'pon your mind
It's gonna fade away then oh oh
Jah Jah, children is the earth so be not unkind
Babylon me straighten you out 'cuz you just go 'round the bend

If ah diamond & pearl there pon your mind

Search ghetto youths find when mi done
Bun the fire Babylon blind

But there is only one way to go
And I will only show the youth the truth let dem fi know

And I can only do the good that I know
Gwan now black people study study
