The Promised Land Lyrics - Dennis Brown

Now I and I say greetings in the name of the mighty king 

And I and I say played by the King love is all I bring 

And I and I say Africa is I and I responsibility dreadlocks 

Yes, huh 

To the Promise Land 

Going to the Promise Land 

Yes, the Promise Land, o gosh now 

To the Promise Land, yeah 

Imagine Ghana like California with Sunset Boulevard 

Johannesburg would be Miami, Somalia like New York 

With the most pretty light, the nuffest pretty car 

Ever New Year the African Times Square lock-off 

Imagine Lagos like Las Vegas, the ballers dem a ball 

Angola like Atlanta, a pure plane take off 

Bush Gardens inna Mali, Chicago inna Chad

Magic Kingdom inna Egypt, Philadelphia like Sudan 

The Congo like Colorado, Fort Knox inna Gabon 

People living in Morocco like the state of Oregon 

Algeria warmer than Arizona, bring your sun lotion 

Early morning class of Yoga on the beach in Senegal 

Ethiopia the capitol of fi di Congression 

A deh so I belong, a deh di the king come from 

I can see us all in limos, Jaguars and B'mos 

Riding on the King's Highway 

To the Promise Land 

Going to the Promise Land 

O, Gosh 

Yeah, the Promise Land 

Yeah, the Promise Land 

Oh 

Photos 

Promised Land, I picture Porsches, Basquiat portraits 

Pinky rings realistic princesses 

Heiresses bunch a kings and queens 

Plus I picture fortunes for kids out in Port-Au-Prince 

Powerless, they not allowed to fit but not about to slip 

Vision Promised Land with fashion like 

Madison Ave, Manhattan, Saks 5th Ave and Rodeo 

Relaxing popping labels, Promise Land no fables 

This where the truth's told, use them two holes 

Above your nose to see the proof yo 

Imagine a contraption that could take us back 

When the world was run by black men 

Back to the future, anything can happen 

If these are the last days and 100-food waves come crashing down 

I get some hash and pounds 

Pass around the bud then watch the flood 

Can't stop apocalypse 

My synopsis is catastrophic 

If satellites is causing earthquakes 

Will we survive it? 

Honestly man it's the sign of the times 

And the times at hand 

There's a lot of work to be done, o gosh 

In the Promised Land 

Going to the Promise Land 

O gosh 

Take me to the Promise Land 

The Promise Land 

Oh, the Promise Land 

The Promise Land, oh, oh, yeah 

There's plenty of land for you and I 

Buy and buy 

Lots of food to share for everyone 

No time for segregation 

In the Promised Land 

Yes a to the Promised Land 

The Promised Land 

Going to The Promise Land 

Oh 

There's a lot of work to be done 

In the Promise
