Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I 
say
Babylon you never see the rain for Mussolini Selasse I 
blaze
Better get a hold of yourself you better go know 
yourself I say
We will be praising Jah from the olden days to the 
golden days

So they want bout you out and later on they shoot you 
out
You stand there and run up your mouth until the fire 
burn you out
Me say me black and me proud African shout aloud
They burning and fighting for crown trying to care 
themselves alone

Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I 
say
Cause we will be turning Babylon dust in the final days
Better get a hold of yourself know yourself stop the 
playing
Got to be giving thanks and praise to the ancient of 
ways

Oo oo oo oo oh they want to know
How do I go through everyday
They haven't got a clue ooh ooh ohh
They fight and fuss they lost their mind
And don't even know who is it
He is your own child and dirty
We could make it work out even though we don't 
deserve it
Why did you go and disturb him

Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I 
say
Cause we will be turning Babylon dust in the final days
He is the ruler the ruler of the crown every night and 
day
Emperor Salassi I hes anointed I

So they want bout you out and later on they shoot you 
out
You stand there and run up your mouth until the fire 
burn you out
Me say me black and me proud African shout aloud
They burning and fighting for crown trying to care 
themselves alone

Get a hold of yourself you better go know yourself I 
say
Cause we will be turning Babylon dust in the final days
Better get a hold of yourself know yourself stop the 
playing
Got to be giving thanks and praise to the ancient of 
ways
