Marcus Garvey words come to pass,

no food to eat,

Come, little one and let me do what I can do for you

And you and you alone.

Come, little one, come, wo-oh-oh,

Let me do what I can , mm-mm-mm,

For you and you alone, wo-oh-oh.

Shall be with many stripes.

Weeping and wailing and moaning,

You've got yourself to blame, I tell you.

Do right, do right, do right, do right, do right, do right,

Do right, do right, do right, do right, do right, do right.

wo-oh-oh,

Tell you to do right, ,

Beg you to do right, wo-oh-oh.

He can't be found,

First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey.

Son of , first prophesy.

Hold them Marcus, hold them, mm-mm-mm,

Prophecy fulfilled, wo-oh-oh.
