Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right 4000 years, yet no one cares
Now it's time for you to participate ey
So Solomon sacred yah, I love that creator ow
Yea hey ey

From Africa they take us away, yes I yes I
In the Western they slave us every day
They never listen to what we got to say
Sold us on their plantation only to be paid

They didn't have the people interest at heart
Ready for repatriation so make the start
I know they lynch and clinch my people in the dark
Now I'm the light of the world oh

[Chorus]
It's amazing how we never die
When the system what they set was just to slave I and I
It's amazing how we never die
It's amazing when they see the good we do to survive
It's amazing how we never die
Keep the fire blazing King Rastafari save we life
It's amazing how we never die, oh oh
Speak the truth and tell no lie, ey

They say in life there's no measure
While others at their place having pleasure

Can't give away life that's my treasure

Fighting to keep us down they could never

To live each day wise and clever,
conquering all my endeavors

Sold us to the plantation only to be paid

Overall Meaning

He acknowledges the good that they do to survive, and he says that love is the key to overcoming difficulties.
