Eli, Jacob
They scatter we seeds, Most High King Selassie I, far apart
Now we must organize and centralize
Works to do (works to do)
Come my mothers and fathers
Tell my brothers and sisters
We've got works to do, works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, lots of works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, works to do
There's so many distortion and misconceptions
About Jah Rastafari
By Babylon mass media we've been constantly attacked
With barrels of pens and guns
They took and back washes off the gates of Babylon
They all know the truth
Till they take counsel against our King Selassie I (Most High God)
Rob and extort and afflicting the
Children of the Most High (Nonetheless)
Jah will never give the power to a baldhead man (Oh no no)
He only gave the scepter to a Nazarite
So come my brothers and sisters
Motivate my mothers and fathers
We've got works to do, works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, lots of works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, works to do
But nonetheless those who need to know the truth
Will seek the paths of knowledge
In order to get adequate proof that Selassie's the divine root
So words without works, that just won't do
Never take counsel against King Selassie I (Don't you ever do)
Rob and extort and afflicting the
Children of the Most High (Nonetheless)
Jah never give the power to a baldhead man, no
He only gave the scepter to a Nazarite
Come my mothers and fathers
Motivate my brothers and sisters
We've got works to do, works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, lots of works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, lots of works to do, oh yeah
Oh Lord
They scatter we seeds, Most High King Selassie I, far apart
Now we must organize and centralize
Works to do (works to do)
Come my mothers and fathers
Tell my brothers and sisters
We've got works to do, works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, lots of works to do, works to do
We've got works to do, works to do
There's so many distortion and misconceptions
About Jah Rastafari
By Babylon mass media we've been constantly attacked
With barrels of pens and guns
