Ital Imhotep

O Children of Light - Ital Angels
Ye shall enjoy yourselves
In Jah’s Eternal Kingdom

For Jah hath created the heavens
Out of dust, and the dust out of ...
Jah keeps few secrets from humankind

We are young, a new people
We must learn the vitalized minerals
Recreate a pure environment
Rebuild, repair, renew

Let us bring forth a new reign of justice,
Give thanks and praises to the LORD,
Fill the air with joyous sound,
Shake happily in Jah Kingdom


O Zion, that bringest good tidings,
get thee up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings,
lift up thy voice with strength;
lift it up, be not afraid;
say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!


In the day when Egypt and Ethiopia
Ruled the earth and the heavens
The kingdom stretched much farther
Than Europe would know until now

For Africa’s Kings and Queens, priests and chieftains
Were wrapped in tobacco preserve
Their pain was chilled with cocaine
From the finest doctors on earth

Believe not in the Columbus myth
For the evidence is in the hair
Holding produce from the Andes
Gifts brought in grace from afar

Twenty-two hundred years before Hippocrates
ImHotep layed down the laws
Of science, of medicine, astronomy
and of earthly matters of men

He built his temple at Saqqara
See the scrolls of stone,
Ornate blue tiles,
Djoser calls to your soul

Earth’s first architect, first doctor
First priestly prince, first messenger
Came six hundred years before Abraham
Laying the foundation, sowing Jah seed

Let the leaders of the nations,
Come run against me;
For I am ready.
