[INTRO VOICE 1]
Scholars and scientists now conceive that Africa is the first place of mankind
Africans were the first builders of civilization
They discovered mathematics, invented writing, developed sciences
Engineering, medicine, religion, fine arts, and built the Great Pyramids
An architectural achievement which still baffles modern scientists'
[INTRO VOICE 2]
The 225th Emperor [echo] direct descent from Solomon and The Queen of Sheba [echo]
He is the "King of Kings, The Lion of Judah [echo]"
The name Haile Selassie I means "Power of the Trinity"
[Verse 1: Stephen Marley]

Talking of the GoFds you serve
Hear the Amrambling in the skyG  
Tears that our foFre fathers cry
And today Amwe're still in chaiGns

And I dAmemand her attention, can you focus women?
I'm geGtting closer to the skFy errytime I hit it
Haile AmSelassie I, "Power of the Trinity"
Soul Gmade in naija, my voice Fmade in Italy
White Ammans world that I'm livin' in, some say
But it waGs Africa the continenFt we all came from
Can'Dmt nothing come between me and you
So beDmfore I have seeds gotta understand my roots
GottEma understand the truth. We is all king's 'round here
LifeEms not all fair, work till we fall dead
PauAml goin' hard 'till I urn like a Pall-Bearer
Although Gmy body's in the U.S my Fheart's there
I can Amnever be ashamed of her, I got my featurGes and my name from her
MaFma Africa
