Hail To The King
Fantan Mojah Lyrics

When I rise
At the beginning of the day, upon waking up

Early this morning
The time of day when the sun is starting to rise

I see love, I see love in front of me
I feel a sense of love and positivity around me

yo again
An exclamation of greeting or excitement

When I rise
Once again, upon waking up

Early this morning
Referring to the present moment in time

I see Jah Jah, Joy inside of me
I feel a sense of spiritual joy and happiness

yo again
An expression of excitement or enthusiasm

It na take nothing at all fi hail the king
It doesn't require much effort to give praise to God

Him bless me in a what me doing
God has blessed me in my daily activities

Selassie the king of all king
Referring to Haile Selassie, seen as a religious figure and symbol of unity

What It takes a man to gain the world
Many people strive for worldly success and material gain

And loose his soul
But this may come at a cost to their spiritual well-being

Prophecy [Prophecy] It have fi full fill
Fulfilling prophecy is seen as important and having religious significance

Jah Jah work have fi unfold
God's will and plan must be carried out

To the young and the old the blind and the dumb
God's message applies to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds

To the hype and the meek the week and the strong
God's message applies to people of all personalities, temperaments, and strengths

Give Jah Jah thanks and just carry on
Expressing gratitude to God and continuing to live with faith and positivity

Rise with me princess mi hace fi give praise
Encouraging others to join in giving thanks to God

My two little kids and mi a raise
Being grateful for the blessings in one's life, including family

Jah bless mama and bless papa
Asking for blessings for one's parents

And bless all me bad minded nieghbor
Even those who are not kind or good-natured should be blessed

I just like to see my people live on
Wishing for the well-being and prosperity of one's community

A fool with no king
Without belief in God, one is directionless and misguided

with rightousness
With a sense of morality and justice

Cause it na take nothing at all
Believing that giving thanks to God doesn't require any material possessions or grand gestures

yo you coulda black white purple or blue
Regardless of one's skin color or background

Love is for me mi say love is for you
Love is universal and applies to everyone

ask the wicked man see what a he ga do
Challenging those who act immorally or without kindness to change their ways

When he buckup waterloo
When the wicked face consequences for their actions

Hide them a Hide Said a to a catch a flu
Those who hide their bad intentions will ultimately face negative consequences as well

When me pass through them a wonder who
Others may be surprised or impressed by one's sense of peace and positivity

tell wicked man them say dey ga haf fi get boo
Warning those who act immorally that they will face consequences

fire fire bun dem
Using fire as a metaphor for punishment or justice for the wicked
