His Imperial Majesty Lyrics

His Imperial Majesty
Emperor Haile Selassie I
His Imperial Majesty
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Look how long, look how long
Since we've been waiting down here
We have suffered and felt the pain
Year after year after year

Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
They took us away from Africa
Far, far, far from Jamaica
To work on the big plantation
All we see was frustration

[chorus]
Set me free, set me free
>From Babylon's slavery and misery
We are all of one religion
'Cause I'm a true-born Rastaman

[chorus]

[repeat]
