At ease is peace we seeking
So all a try fi disturb a distance we keeping you away
From the treasure that you're sniffing 'round to take (that you're sniffing 'round to take)
But you cannot penetrate
So even if you find the yard
You cannot breach the gate
Leaving you waiting in vain and love you all the same

But yuh nuh heard core, yuh cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and your mind
'Bout dem hardcore, when a Selassie I alone
Can mek dem heart sure at this time
Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory

Woman den you cannot say you're hardcore if your core not hard
You haffi dance on your yard, before abroad
That mean you cleaning out yuh heart, before yuh skin
Look deep inna yuh soul, look more within
Like Haile Selassie said, we better be greater people
Greater than we ever been, overcomin' prejudice and evil
Pull dem girl from the isms deep
Still Jah children keepin' up, say even though yuh swift, fi spiritually fit
You haffi hardcore, put some positivity in ya thoughts more
It's not about the accounts dem eh offshore
Quit the plastic smilin' and go laugh more
I'm tellin' you hardcore, put some positivity in ya thoughts more
Not about the accounts dem eh offshore
Quit the plastic smilin' and go laugh more, yeah, hardcore

Haile Selassie I (Haile Selassie I alone)
just Selassie I alone
Haile Selassie I alone, yeah (Haile Selassie I alone)
(A just Selassie I alone) a just Selassie I alone, Haile Selassie I alone

Now the Iyata can't compromise the link
Before she open up the star gate
She really haffi think
Is it just desire, what will it require?
Do you have the strength to hold it
If you let it reach the brink?
Are playing a game or do you know your role?
Are you willing to wager your soul?
Will you be a victim beaten?
Stranded at the barrier
Or bravely ascending as a warrior to goddess?

To hardcore, a she a claim the victory
'Cause her heart pure and her mind, eh!
Hardcore, Selassie I alone a mek heart sure (Selassie I alone)

Eh! Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory
Till yuh heart pure and your mind
Bout dem harcore when a Selassie I alone, a just Selassie I alone

The problems which confront us today are unprecedented
They have no counterparts in human experience
Men search the pages of history for solutions, for precedents, but there are none
This, then, is the ultimate challenge
Where are we to look for our survival?
For the answers to the questions which have never before been posed?

We must look, first, to Almighty
Who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason
And we must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls
We must become something we have never been
And for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us
We must become bigger than we have been
More courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook
We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice
Owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community
