Simplicity
Black people keep your heads up
Emperor Selassie, l bless them
Burning fire never yet stop
Simplicity, we use to survive
Many find it difficult because they ignorant and hype
Simplicity, we use to survive
Do what you doing properly, that's the way through life
Simplicity we use to survive
Many find it difficult because they ignorant and hard
Simplicity we use to survive
Children, open up your eyes
Is not the one bag of vanity
Nor the animosity
Nor the hypocrisy, nor democracy
Is not the labba-labba nor the back-stabber
Nor the vampire evilous desire
Is just a meditation of my heart
Pure and conscious thought
Be over standing and be smart
Listen to the children speak the word
And shine the light in the dark, yeah
