Give thanks an' praise onto the emperor Lord God
Jesus Christ, emperor Lord God Selassie I the first
I beg you pardon, what did you say? (Do it, Jah!)

Live your life, an' love enough life fi live (Uh-huh)
Black people, cali a weh di whole world need

Say, give mi fi mi true cali weed
Cah mi say, give mi fi mi true cali weed
So take mi to Jamaica weh di cali come from
But-a take mi to Jamaica weh di cali come from
Jamaican cali make you dally

Say, man who drink an' drive wine, it very difficult fi see a life
Mi no drink white rum, cah mi will tumble down
So take mi to Jamaica weh di cali come from
Cah, when di wicked-dem come to eat up I an' I flesh
Jah know, say, they shall stumble an' fell
What profit will bear I an' I blood when
I go down to the pit, black people?
A hundred pound of cali

Cah, tell you, say, fi bring di cali
Come an' make mi smoke up di sensi
Bring di cali come an' make mi smoke up di sensi

Each one teach one down at Babylon
The fool said in their heart that there's no God
Corrupted all the hand of abominable ting onto Jah
But, black people, everyday I an' I wake up I give thanks for life
Give thanks for the day, give thanks
For the sunshine, the rising of the sun
Until Jah Jah bless, say, di hours be done

We walk in truth town with two guineas out
An' a gold teeth in a fi mi mouth
Jah man, you should-a hear di sexy thing-dem start shout
