ENEMIES OF PROGRESS

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS: MUSIC AND WORDS BY: KWESI SELASSIE

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS ARE TRYING SO HARD

I SEE THEM TRYING TO BRING ME DOWN

BUT THE HARDER THEY TRY, THE HARDER THEY FALL

“CAUSE” WHO JAH BLESS, NO MAN CURSE

IT’S TAKES A SPECIAL MAN TO KILL A LION (don’t you forget that)

ONLY JAH CAN KILL THIS LION (so let me tell you again)

DON’T YOU TRY CAUSE YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

ONLY JAH CAN KILL THIS LION (so hear me now)

DON’T YOU TRY CAUSE YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

ONLY JAH CAN KILL MI LION (remember that)

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS ARE TRYING SO HARD, EVERYDAY

I SEE THEM TRYING TO DISTROY ME

PROPAGANDA SPREADING OVER MY NAME

THE HARDER THEY TRY, THE HARDER THEY FALL

IT’S TAKES A SPECIAL MAN TO KILL A LION (don’t you forget that)

ONLY JAH CAN KILL MI LION (so let me tell you again)

DON’T YOU TRY CAUSE YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

ONLY JAH CAN KILL MI LION (I tell you again)

AND IF YOU TRY, YOU CAN NEVER KILL I (no no)

ONLY JAH CAN KILL MI LION (so Jah say)

So Jah say (M’ewuradze na ose)

(May the name of the Lord be praised for ever more, Rastafar I)

IF I FALL TODAY, I WILL RISE AGAIN, TOMORROW

SO DON’T YOU DANCE OVER MY DOWNFALL, TODAY no, no

CAUSE HE WHO FIGHT AND RAN AWAY (remember)

LIVES TO FIGHT TOMORROW

A WOUNDED LION IS STILL A LION (don’t you forget that)

ONLY JAH CAN KILL MI LION

IF I DIE TODAY, IT’S MY DESTINY (don’t you forget that)

ONLY JAH CAN CHANGE MY DESTINY (so let me tell you again)

DON’T YOU TRY CAUSE YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

(No no can’t kill mi Lion)

ONLY JAH CAN KILL MI LION

CAUSE I’M A LION OF ZION

YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

LION OF ZION

YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

NO NO, I’M A LION OF ZION

YOU CAN NEVER KILL I

CAUSE I’M LION OF ZION

YOU CAN NEVER KILL I NO NO

LION OF ZION

YOU CAN NEVER KILL I, CAN”T KILL ME

LION OF ZION
