Chorus:
Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I say
Babylon you never see the rain for Mussolini Selasse I blaze
Better get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I say
We’ll be praising Jah from the olden days to the golden days
Verse: 1
So they want bout you out and later on they shoot you out
You stand there and run up your mouth until the fire burn you out
Me say me black and me proud African shout aloud
They burning and fighting for crown trying to care themselves alone
Chorus:
Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I say
Cause we’ll be turning Babylon dust in the final days
Better get a hold of yourself know yourself stop the playing
Got to be giving thanks and praise to the ancient of ways
Verse: 2
Oo oo oo oo oh they want to know
How do I go through everyday
They haven’t got a clue ooh ooh ohh
They fight and fuss they lost their mind
And don’t even know who is it
He is your own child and dirty
We could make it work out even though we don’t deserve it
Why did you go and disturb him
Chorus:
Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I say
Cause we’ll be turning Babylon dust in the final days
He is the ruler the ruler of the crown every night and day
Emperor Salassi I he’s anointed I
(Repeat Verse 1)
