My Duty Lyrics


Burning Spear My Duty




Sometimes I ask His Majesty
When am I gonna be
discharged from this duty?
If my question may be wrong
Please forgive me,
His Majesty, for my asking

Marcus Garvey (Leave the instructions)
Elijah Mohammed (Leave the instructions)
Martin Luther King (Leave the instructions)
Mr. Malcolm X (Leave the instructions)

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

Look for I man in the water (In the water)
Look I man in the wind (In the wind)
Because my spirit is so free (So free)

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

Jah keep I through the night
Into the next light
So I could see the rising sun

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

I live my life with no fear (No fear)
I live my life with no doubt (No doubt)
I make sure they see my face (My face)

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

Give I Your safety and Your glory
To make sure I continue my journey

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

I see myself as a full man (Full man)
I see myself as Jah man (Jah man)
I see myself as the people man (The people man)

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

What more can I say?
What more can I do?
What more can I ask for?

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

Please forgive me, Jah, His Majesty
If that turn I made is wrong
Please direct me to the freeway

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

I can identify my exit
Go on safer than before

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)

Marcus Garvey (Leave the instructions)
Elijah Mohammed (Leave the instructions)
Martin Luther King (Leave the instructions)
Mr. Malcolm X (Leave the instructions)

They leave the instructions for I and
I to follow through (They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
(They leave the instructions)
