Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Them say who hold the gold, him write the law
But which gold you seek, the one that rust or draw?
Babylon hoard the metal, lock it in vault deep
While the people trade them soul for what them cannot keep
The scales tip heavy where the treasure pile high
But the richest man still poor when him spirit run dry
[Chorus]
He who has the gold makes the rules, them say
But Jah gold never fade, never stolen away
Seek the treasure in your chest, not the one in your hand
The true sovereign never bow to no man
He who has the gold makes the rules, it's true
But tell me which gold control you
[Verse 2]
Pharaoh had the pyramid, Caesar had the coin
Still them empire crumble at the weakest join
They chain the body, tax the labor, own the land
But the mind weh free, no currency can brand
Look how them print the paper, call it wealth and power
While the real gold shine within at the midnight hour
[Chorus]
He who has the gold makes the rules, them say
But Jah gold never fade, never stolen away
Seek the treasure in your chest, not the one in your hand
The true sovereign never bow to no man
He who has the gold makes the rules, it's true
But tell me which gold control you
[Bridge]
The system built on who possess the most
But the meek inherit earth, not the one who boast
They sell you dreams wrapped in silver foil
While your divine spark buried under toil
Wake up from the slumber, sight beyond the veil
The gold within your temple can never be for sale
Selassie I teach we where the real power dwell
Not in bank account, but in the truth you tell
[Verse 3]
So when them flash the riches, dangle carrot on string
Remember say you carry something greater than king
The light of Jah reflection, that's the currency of life
Sharper than the silver, cut deeper than the knife
Babylon make the rules with the gold them thief
But I and I make the rules with the gold of belief
[Chorus]
He who has the gold makes the rules, them say
But Jah gold never fade, never stolen away
Seek the treasure in your chest, not the one in your hand
The true sovereign never bow to no man
He who has the gold makes the rules, it's true
But tell me which gold control you
[Outro]
Which gold you choose, bredren, which gold you choose?
The one that enslave or the one that make you free to move
Rastaman know the difference, sight it clear and bright
The gold within the soul is the everlasting light
He who has the gold... but which gold you hold tonight?
