Capleton – See From Afar Lyrics

Reggae

Selassie I live it everytime
I man will live it everytime
Marcus Garvey live it everytime
Well mi say

Leave him there, leave him there
Why won't you leave the burden there
Just take your burden to Selassie I and leave it there
Oh if you trust in the Lord you will never die
And he guide and show you the way to life
Hey just take your burden to Selassie I and leave it there
So weh mi say

Oh tell dem when mi see pon a far was a musical war

Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are

Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star
Dem all a drink dem champagne and all a bun dem cigar

See Rastaman and dem nuh stop from tar
See Selassie I and a try prostrate war
By Emperor Selassie I and him conqueror
One thunder ball mi spot we dem from far
Nuff a dem bow fi house and nuff a dem bow fi car
Bow fi di money weh deh inna di jar
Dis di prophet yah a melt like guitar
When mi see pon a far was a musical war
Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are

Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star

So much gun gun like dem nuh know nutn else
So much matey matey dem nuh know nutn else
Dem all a advertise di woman dem like drinks pon shelf
When di man dem inna jail di woman dem in a prison
Dem a preach bout corruption and a preach bout wealth
Nuh talk bout tradition dem nuh talk bout health
Mi tell dem, dem a walk wid dem evil spell
And when dem see di prophet pon dem face dem fell
Cause all wicked man a fi gather inna hell
Nuh like a butter and salt and a suh di wicked a go melt

Mi see pon a far was a musical war
Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are
Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star

Oh leave him there, leave him there
Why won't you leave the burden there
Just take your burden to Selassie I and leave it there
Oh if you trust in the Lord you will never die
And he guide and show you the way to life
Hey just take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
So weh mi say

Oh tell dem when mi see pon a far was a musical war
Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are
Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star

Too much badness a mek man nuh stop wrath
And everyday a innocent man neck shot off
Too much matey matey mek di woman dem lost
Woman all a walk naked inna di park
Inna dem rere ragged arm dem rere shorts
DJ be careful of di words dat yuh talk
Selassie I have di rod and a him have di staff
Fi di sheep dem weh stray yuh goin get cut off

When mi see pon a far was a musical war
Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are
Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star

When mi look pon di ghetto youth dem and mi see dem depressed
Mi look inna dem face and mi see a face stress
Dem wake up inna di morning cup a tea dem nuh get
A lunch time a come dem nuh have nuh lunch fi get
And dinner time a come dem nuh have nuh dinner fi get
And night time a come and pon draw dem a fret
Cause fox have hole and bird have nest
And whole heap a ghetto youth nuh have nuh place fi rest
So DJ before yuh talk think and check

Seh when mi see pon a far was a musical war
Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are
Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star
Dem all a drink dem champagne and all a bun dem cigar
See Rastaman and dem nuh stop from tar
See Selassie I and a try prostrate war
By Emperor Selassie I and him conqueror

Nuff a dem bow fi house and nuff a dem bow fi car
Bow fi di money weh deh inna di jar
One thunder ball mi spot we dem from far

If yuh diss di king yah a melt like guitar
When mi see pon a far was a musical war
Bare corruption did spread out pon di tar
When mi see pon a far dem nuh know who dem are
Sodom dem a promote and all the moon and the star
