What Do You Remember

I bet you remember The birth and death Of Jesus Christ But tell me Do you remember how They crucified Rastafari I bet you remember The holidays and holy days Of the pagan fiesta But tell me Do you remember how they Tried to eradicate Rasta I bet you remember The months and days of the Roman calendar But tell me, do you remember The year in which they Were slaughtering Rasta We’ve had many rulers: governments and prime ministers But do you know who Was fighting against the existence Of the Rastafarian followers Your past is your history What you don`t know is mystery But whether baldhead or Rasta We are all part of a larger family The love of Jah has no division He offers salvation to each And everyone But why is it that we fail To accept each other Tell me, what do you remember? Do not let ignorance and shame Hang over your shoulders It is time to learn about the life Of our elders Walk with us through The traditions Of our forefathers And teach us the truth about Our culture So that we may be able To tell others What we remember
