Refrain

 

Howell the Gong Maragh gi wi di Promise Key

A so InI rise as Rasta Pickiney

Giving InI Ises and Iwa to His Majesty

The King of Kings Haile Sellassie

 

verse1

 

We were tire of freedumb, Oh how we yearn to be free

To shape our future and carve our own destiny

So Howell started the spark that ignite the energy

With the Gaathly & the Howell Piby

Howell was he who hailed the King Higher than Garvey

And established Pinnacle of a self sufficient Rasta Community

This is an example for the entire Afrikan Family

Living together in one love praisng His Majesty

 

Verse 2

 

Archibald Dunkley and Henry started shortly after Howell Hinds and Hibbert

Praising haile Sellassie & Empress Mennen as Mother & Father of the Earth

Yet the society waa fi threat Ini di children like dirt

Come wid brute force to harm and hurt

Dem fight Rastafari cause dem know not what life is worth

So dem try fi deny Ethiopia as the place of mankind’s birth

But the Conquering Lion is a living legend rightful ruler of the Earth

Di good news was propelled by Leonard Howell and Joseph Nathaniel Hibbert

 

Verse 3

 

Now the rejected corner stone now tun the Jewell in the crown

Police plunder Pinnacle, batter Backa Wall  dem use to hunt Rasta down

But no matter di obstacle Rasta rise from the fall and rule all around

Freeing country and town with words power and sound

Know yuself Afrikan stand up and don’t be a clown

And never dis the Ras wid di tam barelock or turban and gown

Now InI trodding from the Forest to the Palace straight fi di throne

Cause only through equal rights and justice can lasting peace be found.
