So Jah seh
Not one of my seeds
Shall sit in the sidewalk and beg bread 

(No, they can’t and you know that they won’t!)
So Jah seh
Not one of my seeds
Shall sit in the sidewalk and beg your bread
(No, they can’t and you know that they won’t!)

And verily, verily, I’m saying unto the I
I-nite oneself and love I-manity 

‘Cause puss and dog they get together
What’s wrong with loving one another? 

Puss and dog they get together
What’s wrong with you, my brother?

So Jah seh, yeh
Ye are the sheep of my pasture
So verily, thou shall be very well
So Jah seh, yeh
Ye are the sheep of my pasture
So verily, thou shall be very well, yeah 

And down here in the ghetto
And down here, we suffer
But I and I a-hang on in there
And I and I, I nah leggo
I and I a-hang on in there
And I and I, I nah leggo

For so Jah seh, yeh
I’m gone to prepare a place
That where I am thou shall abide, yeah 

So Jah seh
Fear not for mighty dread
‘Cause I’ll be there at your side 

And – and down there – down there in the ghetto
And down there, we suffer
But I and I a-hang on in there
And I and I, I no leggo
I and I a-hang on in there
And I and I, I no leggo
So Jah seh
