Red Gold And Green
I-Roy Lyrics

Peace on Earth and love to all mankind as I would say
May there be peace and love for every human on this planet, as I wish to happen

If you not blind this kind of peace you gonna find
If you can see through the chaos, you will find the peace that is being sought after

So let's give thanks and praise to the most high
Let us show our gratitude and worship the divine power above us all

God of creation
Referring to the one God who created the universe and all that exists within it

For all this all this worth in your wisdom
Everything in existence is valuable, and this wisdom comes from the divine knowledge

Forever faithful, ever sure
The almighty being is always loyal and trustworthy

Even when You be angry though
Even in moments of wrath, the divine being still loves and protects us

So in a time appointed as wind and earth begun
In the beginning of the world, it was predetermined

For we come to wake oppression
They came to raise awareness of oppression and its consequences

So the black man could understand
The message is for the black community to comprehend

He come to save the captives free
The message is to free those who are held captive, both physically and mentally

Let them live in love and unity, one time
They must live in harmony and love, as a single community

Brothers and sisters you can really make it if you try
With effort and dedication, they can overcome any obstacle

So one's enough yah to be pure and clean
Only one God is necessary to be pure and clean

So find him on the red, gold, green
God can be found within the colors of the flag, Red, Gold, and Green

And brothers and sisters you've got to live clean
They must live a pure and honest life

If you want to meet the sea
To receive divine redemption, one must live honestly

For we were created by one maker
Every human being has one common creator

Created by one hand
The same hand created every human being

So whether you are black or white
No matter what skin color one has, they are equal and loved by the divine creator

Each and every one is special, change your sight
Every person is unique, and one must adjust their perspective to appreciate this fact

So we gotta love
We must love one another

In coloured unity we've got to unite
All races must unite under a single banner

Brothers and sisters I can't be wrong
The message is clear and must be followed

It got to be right
The movement towards unity's success is inevitable

You've gotta let some kind of love
It is necessary to allow love to flow through oneself

Flow in your heart, and you will never part
Love will connect you with the divine, and you will never be separated

So where the wicked come up in man
Evil is present within some people

To eat the man's fish
To take advantage of others for their own benefit

They should stumble and fall
The wicked shall fall and fail in their pursuits

So when the ocean wake up against man
Nature will seek retribution if humanity continues to cause destruction

Yeah they got to flee
Those who are guilty of destruction must evacuate

Man will be free like a bird in a tree
Humanity shall attain freedom just like a bird flying within the tree branches

One of these days
It is a certainty that this will occur at some point in the future

Cause I was sinning oh so many ways
I had committed so many sins

So man must live in unity and love
To succeed and progress, humanity must abide by the principles of unity and love

As long as I live then love will be mine to give
I will continue to promote love for as long as I am alive

For love is some kind of treasure
Love is a valuable and precious entity

Haile hab a high, Selassie high
Refers to Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia believed to be a divine being

King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Haile Selassie is a royal king of great power

Come through with land
The land that was promised

Of the tribe of Judah
Haile Selassie claims ancestry from the tribe of Judah, as per the Hebrew Bible

The like of God the high and mighty
Haile Selassie, being a divine figure is often compared to God

For it's black King of creation without conception
Black people have a leader to look up to, who was created without a flaw like any other human

So give grung with our lives and burn
We must offer everything we have and burn all negative things in pursuit of this cause

Are weak on conception as I would say
Our understanding of the situation may not be complete or accurate, even though we try

Man got to live in creation
Humans must live peacefully within the creation, and not destroy it

And this is our nation
This movement of love and unity is what defines our community/nation

Got to make some kind of participation
It is necessary to get involved and participate in this movement

Will be to feel this kinda vibration, you know
Getting involved will cause one to feel a positive energy flow

Jah Jah for high and high
Refers to Jah, the Rastafarian God

Cause You're Jah Jah Jah for high
As Jah commands, he shall be exalted

Jah Jah Jah Jah high of highs
Jah is the highest entity of them all
