{Interlude}
He's so humble yeaaah
Can't touch the lion
Lion paw Tarrus Riley

I walk in this through valley of test
and I never been away caught in the wilderness
The power of Jah perserve I
Riding in all that I do
So trodding through the heights and the depth
We trample frustration and we conquer stress
the power of Jah perserve I
And right in all that I do

{chorus}
So all the evil that been leading me on
can go back where they came from
No demonic works performed shall prosper yeah
Me tell the oviah and the science smart car
cause they can't squeeze my lion paw
No demonic words performed shall prosper

Can't touch the lion {bridge}
no no no

The wage of blessing in everliving life
So I keep my meditation in a Haile I
I weather the storm and put up a fight
Cause we can do anything
Should you feel like giving up
Let the strength of your ancenstors fill your cup
The power of Jah Rastafari right in all I do

{chorus}

Selassie I Know
Say the more
Dem aile up
a dem more
dem taste the spoil up
And say dem more dem come wid science
nuh dem cyan break the heart of a lion
The more dem aile up
a dem more dem taste the spoil up
The power of Jah preserve I
and guide in all that I do

{chorusx2}

{Outerlude}

I,I,I,I,I He's so humble yeah yeah yeah
Higher I,I,I,I Selassie I,I,I yeah yeah

  3. It's "Obeah and the science man come". Obeah means medicine man in Jamaica.
