Track 13 from Protoje's Sophomore album ' The 8 Year Affair' (2013)

Every morning I rise
Peace to my mind when I hail Ras Tafari
Knowing His eyes are on I
Jah be my guide, I reside with the Most High
Even inna drought I nuh cry
These are the times when I hail Ras Tafari
Knowing that Jah will provide for I

I said He giveth and He taketh away
Understanding nothing is belonging to me
Earth will provide you with the necessity
Me say simplicity is what we use in these days
And Ras Tafari prophesied there would be wars
Many possessions would be lost
What you live is what you leave with, so
Hold it close, it’s the only thing that's yours

[CHORUS]

Because we know Jah we cannot walk away
Heart of the Lion is telling us not to stay far
‘Cause when it all passes away
To abide in Your presence is the only thing I pray for
‘Cause it is beautiful to know
Storms all around and You safely guide the way home
Yes, You lightening my load
Keep me right here on the straight road

[CHORUS]


Haile love I, you never forget
Haile bless I, don’t you ever forget
Haile love I, don't you ever forget
Haile bless I, don’t you ever forget

[CHORUS]

Haile is the power and the knowledge and the key
One, two, three, the Holy Trinity, yeah


Hail Ras Tafari

“Black Roots”, the eponymously named debut album, was originally released in 1983 on Kick Records, by which time the band was established as one of the UK's leading live acts with a strong repertoire of socially aware songs reflecting the issues of the day. When it came to their first album, they chose eight of their strongest tracks and assembled what was to become one of the classic British reggae albums of the decade.

Featuring 8 songs “The Father”, “Survival”, “Juvenile Delinquent”, “What Them 'A Do”, “Opportunity”, “Tribal War”, “Africa” and “Move On”, the album covers themes of social alienation, deprivation, repatriation, RastafarI, violence within the black community and ends, with the tale of a failing relationship. Three decades later, many of the songs are just as relevant and provide the perfect complement to their latest recordings.

It was re-issued Bristol Archive Records on vinyl in 22nd April 2013 to coincide with Record Store Day.  The release on vinyl was strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide. 400 copies were made be available for Record Store Day, 22nd April 2013, at participating retailers and feature a facsimile of the original sleeve, whilst 100 copies will be available directly from Bristol Archive Records and very select retailers and feature a unique handmade screen printed sleeve as well as being individually numbered, a very special edition.

This was the first time that this album was available on vinyl for twenty-five years and demand outstripped supply.

This release was made available by Nubian Records on digital platforms. Here is an opportunity to stream or download either this song or the full album that is still in great demand from old and new fans alike.
