La, la, la, la, la, la, means I love Jah, yes
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, means I love Jah, Jah

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to hold Jah, Jah
Not in any crowd

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to hold Jah, Jah
Oh no

For when I was down an' out
He was the one who help me out
Stretch forth His hands
For I when I'm in distress

For even when my mother hide
And my father was sickly, yeah
He said, 'Come inside, come on, I'll take thy hand'
And that is why, hear me all

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, means I love Jah, hear
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, means I love Jah, yeah

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to shake up my knots
Not even in the street

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to shake up my knots
Not even in church

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to shake up my knots
Not even among the churches

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to shake up my knots
Not even among the greatest set of men

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed to shake up my knots
I'm an African descendant

I'm not ashamed
