Tell It To The Children Lyrics - Ijahman Levi

In this world 

I've told so many sad stories 

And seen sad pictures towards you and me 

Even the books Lord 

When I take a careful look 

It was hard to believe what I read 

So I went to hide to get some peace of mind 

To know more about myself 

When I'm face by the force 

Back is against the wall identifying myself 

I'm not now trying to make a public statement 

I've been down down down more than once before 

It is true I'm now an ambassador 

Coming in the name of Jah telling it to the children 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Jah Jah Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

I'm the beginning 

Although its a little bit translated 

Written in prophecy by I and I wise man 

I discover Lord of a fact I'm the true culture 

Checking on my history that was hidden from me 

I was taught to believe my only ability 

Was swinging from tree to tree 

Cause they always want to see the jungle half of me 

Cause I'm from the monkey family 

And that of all of the once greats 

None was like the shade of the nights Lord 

I was even taught to believe 

That my God he too has blue eyes I say 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Let's take for instance 

The phisical of his imperial majesty 

Emperor Haile Selassie I the first King of Kings 

He who sitteth and reigneth 

All nations bow when he was crowned 

The Earth quake lightening and thunder showed signs and wonder 

My true God and King to be seen touched by Him 

I'm not dealing with any kind of painted picture 

I bow before no statue worship lucky old sun 

My God is not man made or animal 

Revelation is revealing the book of prophecy has its meaning 

For while the book of prophecy sometimes close 

The spirit of man continues on it never folds. 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Jah Jah Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them 

Tell it to the children Lord Rasta Children 

Don't let what was hidden from you and me be hidden from them
