Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jah, I read it from the ancient scroll
Our fruits worth more than fine gold, ey
Now we have dem inna control, yeah

Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, no way
Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, again mi tell you

Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, judgment
Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved

Well, listen now people wake up from your dream
'Round about you got the evil hitch up inna your scheme
Pretty smiles and charm yet still dem nah clean
Couldn't trick me them come like weavel inna cold meal

Mi nah trust the Prime Minister and the things him ah reveal
Neither opposition leader black wealth dem ah steal
Them nah teach no principle nah buss no seal
The road whey dem ah trod it is so simple to dey meal

Mi help mi black sister Sizzla couldn't conceal
While helpin' your brother some ah gi you raw deal
Mi meditation ah fire, John heart are mi shield
Ghetto youths we nah put no shoulder to no wheel

Them cyar crush me out nor roll me like wheel
Rasta ah no orange fi dem run come peel
Uno tell mi if uno ever check how people feel
Work every day and yet dem nah get no meal

Informer Rastaman ah tell you say no squeal
Go tell the judge say Rasta nah go give no appeal
Love is the power ghetto youths that ah the shield
Watch Babylon and all dem back door deal, judgment

Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, no way
Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, I say

Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, judgment
Who to be trust and loved, again if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved

Yo, done see say dem badmind so dem tense
Yo Rastafari know dem ah pretend
Who ah set you up and then you call all you friends, ey
Ghetto youths make sure your eyes open

Sizzla never settle with the heathen
Mi come topple and destroy Babylon problem
Me and the youths ah done out the money whey dey spend
This I create and Ethiopia it ascend

Your police dem nah necessary again
Babylon your soldiers dem nah necessary again
Say dey know Selassie I me ask dem from when
Ah Rasta govern the earth from then, Judgment

Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved, no way
Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved

Emperor Selassie I I trust I love
Ghetto youths must always love, judgment
Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved

Well, Jesus say He crucified I know
This ah the warrior fi Selassie, I them cyar put me down
Tell dem listen the words inna the wind whey ah blow
Lock up inna them house inna this song it ah flow oh oh oh ow

King Rastafari love lead the way, oh oh oh
Empress Omega she love I say she does
So Jah sun shine today oh oh
Do remember say the heads of government ah dem did betray oh oh

But tell dem say from you no clean
Rastafari done know say the wicked ah go get slay
Tell them this

Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved
Emperor Selassie I we trust we love
Babylon you sink dem inna the mud




Who to be trust and loved, if you cannot be trust
You cannot be loved
