Do You Know - Lyrics
Do you know who Haile Selassie I is?
Do you know what Haile Selassie I did?
Do you know where Haile Selassie I Lived?
Did you hear what Haile Selassie I Said?
Did you see how Haile Selassie I dressed?
Could you tell that Haile Selassie was blessed?
Did they prove that Haile Selassie was Dead?
Nah, They don't know Haile Selassie its Dread...
-repeat-
He was a real man not a dream,
The king of Kings with a queen,
First African on Time Magazine,
No one else in the world ain't seen what he's seen,
Walked in his footsteps or bin where he's been,
He walked with the poor and watered the green,
He fought on the field with the rest of the team,
Got burnt by the gas that was dropped from the plane,
Didn't have time to cry about pain,
Just had to get up and move on again,
Work in the sun and work in the rain,
Just work for the people never in vain,
He stayed humble never complained,
Stayed faithful even when his youth got slain,
From day ONE he run a righteous campaign,
The most regal no matter what the weak heart claim...
Do you know who Haile Selassie I is?
Do you know what Haile Selassie I did?
Do you know where Haile Selassie I Lived?
Did you hear what Haile Selassie I Said?
Did you see how Haile Selassie I dressed?
Could you tell that Haile Selassie was blessed?
Did they prove that Haile Selassie was Dead?
Nah, They don't know Haile Selassie its Dread...
Man of the millennium, worlds best dressed,
First colour picture ever in press,
Fresh and clean, Forever impress,
First emperor crowned next to his empress,
The First Haile Selassie to sit,
Down on the throne of menelik,
The first emperor in Africa to have a true constitution writ,
Just imagine it for a minute then sit for a minute and think,
Why dint no one tell you nothing bout him,
H I M
That's the reason that I raise my pen,
Peter told em let me tell them again,
I know he is the king of kings and the lord of lords and a saviour with a new name,
Just like a thief in the night he passed true and overcame...
Do you know who Haile Selassie I is?
Do you know what Haile Selassie I did?
Do you know where Haile Selassie I Lived?
Did you hear what Haile Selassie I Said?
Did you see how Haile Selassie I dressed?
Could you tell that Haile Selassie was blessed?
Did they prove that Haile Selassie was Dead?
Nah, They don't know Haile Selassie its Dread...
Root of ori, people of the book,
Seed of Solomon, seed of kush,
Throne of David, Key to the Ark,
Nyabinghi warrior, beat to the heart,
Nuttin like Cesar, elect of Jah,
Prince of peace, Lion of Judah,
Shepherd of sheep,
Founder of the OAU that's deep,
Father of Africa is he,
He was greeted by John F Kennedy,
And he said sutting that you should read,
The brain needs food so feed that need,
Haile conquered anger and greed,
Conquering lion in deed,
Both arms stretched out for the ones in need,
If we follow his way then we will succeed so do it with speed...
Do you know who Haile Selassie I is?
Do you know what Haile Selassie I did?
Do you know where Haile Selassie I Lived?
Did you hear what Haile Selassie I Said?
Did you see how Haile Selassie I dressed?
Could you tell that Haile Selassie was blessed?
Did they prove that Haile Selassie was Dead?
Nah, They don't know Haile Selassie its Dread...
-repeat-
