Got To Be There lyrics with English Translations
Well the greetings in the name of the Most High, you know
Selassie I
I wonder how some guy waan fi see the rain
And nah waan fi go through the rainbow
Nah walk with faith rude bwoy
Check this now
Come all the world fi get commotion That's why they come and sing their strange song Nuff no practice what they preach and heed to temptation Back in content dem say a want dead rose
But I and I-man working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there Beenie Man is working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there Oh, Jah Jah, whoa
I am who I am and not who they want I to be-e-eeee, oh yeah I'm working to reach that same sweet hollow tree Don't want to caught up in their greed and distress I'm designed not to get caught up in their filthiness
But I and I-man working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there Rastafarian working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there Oh, Jah Jah, whoa
A nuff Rasta live in a world of emptiness But mind you a go bun dem for their filthiness Come straighten up yourself, Rastaman and make progress
When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there I and I-man working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there Oh, Jah Jah, whoa
Oh doctors and lawyers and teachers, I'm talking Be careful how you teaching my children the wrong things Teach dem 'bout Selassie and not 'bout that John Paul
When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there I and I-man working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Oh, I've got to be there Oh Lord, yeah
Watch what you eat and smell what you're drinking But true we all know he is the King of all Kings His poodle jump up and made a sacrifice for him
So I and I-man working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Rasta got to be there Nyahbingi working to be there When those gates of Zion a close Rasta got to be there So I say, hey
Come all the world to get promotion That's why they come and sing their strange song...
Come all the world fi get commotion That's why they come and sing their strange song Nuff no practice what they preach and heed to temptation Back in content dem say a want dead rose
