Black people keep your heads up
Emperor Selassie, l bless them
Burning fire never yet stopSimplicity, 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 lifeSimplicity we use to survive
Many find it difficult because they ignorant and hard
Simplicity we use to survive
Children, open up your eyesIs not the one bag of vanity
Nor the animosity
Nor the hypocrisy, nor democracy
Is not the labba-labba nor the back-stabberNor the vampire evilous desire
Is just a meditation of my heart
Pure and conscious thought
Be over standing and be smartListen to the children speak the word
And shine the light in the dark, yeahSimplicity, me use to survive
Many find it difficult because they ignorant and die
Simplicity, me use to survive
Do what you doing properly, that's the way through lifeSimplicity I use to survive
Children, open up your eyes
Simplicity me use to survive
Burn Pharisees and ScribesOoh, yeah, ah, find yuh wrong bro, dat fi pause
Praise Ras Tafari and give a worthy cause
Give us all the blessing, give us all reward
To help the poor, ah, find it easy when them find it hardSimplicity, I use to survive
Many find it difficult because they ignorant and die
Simplicity, l use to survive
I say live and love yuh lifeKeep doing what you doing, don't you grumble
Seed what you sow is what yuh reap,so be humble
Know what yuh doing, yuh never stumble
Burn down Rome, I sight dem crumbleLead the way, lead the way with the word what l speak
Never must you stray, hail the King in the East
Whoa, uh, Kalonji teach, Zion haffi reach, whoa yeahSimplicity, l use to survive
Many find it difficult because they ignorant and hype
