Sangtekst: Buju Banton. Negus Nagast.

Hail Ishmael Wadada
From the Root of David, he's Amlak
Hail Ishmael Amlak
From the Root of the great man Solomon, he's Rasta

IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Jah!
IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Jah!

When I saw more than twenty thousand chariots
And their leader, yes, he was the great Tekla Haimanot
And they were going, Lord
Singing such a sweet song
I could not overstand
But I heard the voice of the clergy man
When he said

IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Jah!

IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Yeah!

But it was written in the faith and he goes
Telling the bear and eagles
False unto man and man
And such and such and such
Saying We should live upright
Oh, should not fight and fuss
Deliveror must be clean
And thus and thus and thus

O Buju Banton, lip of brass
Then I saw the man with the golden cross
As he went down into the water

Behold the sands he trod
I could not repeat afterwards
He said

IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Ja!

IGZIABEHER! Yah!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Yeah!

Well, they're all dressed in white

Woman and man on every side
Children all were there
Feeling joy in side

And then the champions reign
They prayed, I sang
In their mouths they tipped a little wine and dread
And they remember
Every word the Great One said
From priest to prophet
Abraham right down to Zed
All my people, you should be there to behold
The sight I have seen
Oh it's gonna run could never to-o-o-o

Well, why, why, wo-o-o-o-o

IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Jah!

IGZIABEHER!
(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
(Lord of lords) Jah!

In dreams I saw
More than twenty thousand chariots
And their leader, yeah, was the great Tekla Haimanot
Trod they were going
Chanting such a sweet song
I could not overstand
But I heard the voice of the clergy man
When he said

IGZIABEHER!

Behold, He is the beginning and the end
The Alpha and Omega

(King of kings) NEGUS NAGAST!
Behold, He come into life in brimstone and fire

(Lord of lords) Jah!
Igziabeher!...
