(Intro:)
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

(Verse: 1)
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

(Verse: 2)
They say in life there's no measure
While others at their place having pleasure
My children and my woman that's my leisure
Can't give away life that's my treasure
Fighting to keep us down they could never
I'm here to stay and that's forever
To live each day wise and clever,
conquering all my endeavors

(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 Selassie I preserve we life
It's amazing how we never die
When the system what they save was just to slave I and I

(Verse: 3)
Oh hmmm hmmm ah ahhh ay whoa oh oh

Hypocrites behind them closed door
Committing a felony on the poor
Got to stand for justice and I'm sure
What's the problem what's the faculty oh oh oh
The people make the? multi? ey ey
Love is the key that take us through all our difficulty

(Chorus:)
Yah 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
Whoa oh oh yea ey ey ah

When the system what they set was just to slave I and I
It's amazing how we never die
Keep the fire blazing Emperor Selassie I preserve you life

(Verse: 4)

In the Western they slave us every day
They never listen to what we got to say
Sold us to the plantation only to be paid
