[Deep sub-bass intro, slow tempo, heavy dub delays on snare hits] [Verse 1] From di valley of oppression, I-n-I rise Wid di fire of redemption inna I-n-I eyes No partiality, no segregation inna dis ya plan One pulse, one heartbeat for every livin' man Rich man build a wall, try fi shut di gate But love is di only key fi conquer every hate I-n-I see di sufferah, di youth dem on di street With no shoes upon dem troddin', no food fi dem eat But Jah light shine bright, even inna di dark Ignite di holy flame, ignite di divine spark [Chorus] One Love fi di Rasta, chantin' inna di hill One Love fi di poor, keepin' it steady and still From di mansion to di ghetto, let di mercy flow Watch how di seeds of righteousness begin fi grow No division, no class, no silver and gold Only di truth and di livity dat must be told [Verse 2] Babylon try fi measure a man by him pocket But I-n-I know di soul, no man can lock it Big up every worker, every farmer inna field To di power of di Most High, every knee shall yield Unity is di weapon, kindness is di shield By di stripes of di ancient, every wound is healed If yuh have a crust of bread, share it wid yuh brother Inna dis ya journey, we must lift up one another Rasta stand firm for di man who have nuttin' While di greedy system keep on pushin' and shovin' [Bridge] [Drums drop out, spacey synth pads from Colour Bass style] Equality. Justice. I-nity. [Massive Riddim Dubstep bass growl enters] Break di chains of di mind! Feed di hungry soul! [Chorus] One Love fi di Rasta, chantin' inna di hill One Love fi di poor, keepin' it steady and still From di mansion to di ghetto, let di mercy flow Watch how di seeds of righteousness begin fi grow No division, no class, no silver and gold Only di truth and di livity dat must be told [Outro] [Fading echo of a Nyabinghi drum and heavy bass wobbles] For di humble. For di meek. Strength for di weary. Voice for di weak. One Love. Jah Rastafari. Selassie I. [Silence]
