Sip what you grow
Grow what you sip
Permaculture keep
The poison from you're lip
The food stuff, the youths up
Strictly organic
Community, immunity
From every politician
Breaking the addiction brothers finally
Find freedom to show love
Within the family
Real power generating, potential creating
When the epitome of masculinity is
Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and your mind
'Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time, ay

Now the Iyata can't compromise the link
Before she open up the star gate
She really haf to think
Is it just desire, what will it require?
Do you have the strength to hold it
If you let it reach the brink?
Are playing a game or do you know your role?
Are you willing to wager your soul?
Will you be a victim beaten?
Stranded at the barrier
Or bravely ascending to warrior, to goddess?
To hardcore, a she a claim the victory
'Cause her heart pure and her mind, ay
Hardcore, Selassie I alone a mek heart sure at this time, ay
Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and your mind
'Bout dem harcore when a Selassie I alone, a just Selassie I alone
Problems which confront us today are unprecedented
They have no counterparts in human experience
Men search the pages of history for solutions, for precedents
But there are none
This, then, is the ultimate challenge
Where are we to look for our survival?
For the answers to the questions which have never before been posed?
We must look, first, to Almighty
Who has raised man above the animals and
Endowed him with intelligence and reason
And we must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls
We must become something we have never been
And for which our education and
Experience and environment have ill-prepared us
We must become bigger than we have been
More courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook
We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice
Owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations
But to our fellow men within the human community
