Warrior King - Never Go Where Pagans Go
CHORUS : I'll never go where the pagans go. Never do what the heathens do. Cause Rastafari give I the guidance. Never say what the idolaters say, for Emperor Selassie I, I trust and obey. Rasta words are pure substance. Ill never go where the pagans go. Never do what the heathens do. Cause Rastafari give I the guidance. Ill never say what the wicked hearts say. Neither will I walk in their council no day, hey. Haile I, is my guide, so VERSE 1 : Mythology and illusion i'll be always burning. Corruption and confusion, will be thrown in the ash-bin. Can't fool Rastaman with your false doctrine. Your false teachings, oh wat a sinting. Justice in the sky, is it salvation that yu seeking From the throne of David yo its obvious dat you're drifting. You ave' no raspect for the king of all kings. Oh his name I'll be always exalting, so. VERSE 2 : I'll never go astray from my roots and my culture Neither will forget my homeland mama Africa. So go mi Congo and separate from the vipers. From the hypocrites and from the vampires. Hail the king of kings for he giveth all the powers. Born in Ethiopia, look! it written in the scriptures. Who are the righteous hey they are the truth seekers. O be onto you false leaders, so. VERSE 3 : I'll never go, I've never go where they go. I'll never stray, no way, no day. I'll never say what they say. Oh I'll never go, where they go. Rastafari I'll always follow. |
