'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda dem spread
Tongues will have to confess
Oh, I'm in bondage living is a mess
and I've got to rise up alleviate the stress
No longer will I expose my weakness
He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness
Work 7 to 7 yet I'm still penniless
All the food upon mi table Massa God bless
Holler for the needy and shelter less
Ethiopia awaits all prince and princess
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best, yes
Propaganda them spread
Tongues will have to confess
What coulda bad so bout the East, everybody wants a piece
Africa for Africans, Marcus Mosiah speak
Unification outnumbers defeat
What a day when we walkin down Redemption Street
Banner pon head Bible inna hand
One and all let we trod the promised land
Buju go down a Congo stopped in Shashamane Land
The city of Harare is where Selassie come from
In Addis Ababa then Batswana
Left Kenya ah end up in Ghana
Oh, what a beauty my eyesight behold
Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda dem spread
Tongues will have to confess
Organize and centralize come as one
Our seeds shall be so many more than sand
Some new and replenish pure and clean heart
For too long we've been under this band
Some a save a bag a riches, yet them dead empty hand
gwan say mi stupid and laugh all you can
Easier for a camel to enter through a needle eye
Than it is for a rich guy to enter a Zion
Take it from I man
So
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no living in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda them spread
Tongues will have to confess
oh I'm in bondage living is a mess
and I've got to rise up alleviate the stress
No longer will I expose my weakness

What a day, we walking down Redemption Street

Buju go down a Congo end in Shashamane Land
The city of Harare where Selassie com from
In Addis Ababa inna Batswana

Oh, what a beauty my eyesight behold
Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda them spread
Tongues will have to confess
Agonize, centralize come as one
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
