devil pon their shoulder a use dem brain
when american company man pays african politician fi look to the other side when he exploit the african child
digging up the african soil
in that case you don’t see no five o even though childs back already like a seventy five year old human back
him future stolen like the other workers inna the mine
now him dead too!
the mine crushed

now more african land the capitalist wanna buy

creating war inna congo while the west benefit

(verse 3)
worldwide
when babylon terrorize
look right through their custom when dem chemicalize
when dem put corruption inna the minds of the youths and capitalize
creating new ways fi miseducate and brutalize
victimize
like they never knew dem a guh pay the price
from the day dem took away history and spirituality
how long dem corrupted black man mentality
talk dem a talk like they know the minority
physical and mental brutality
no ism inna mi mind, but the leadership of his majesty
“africa for the african” + prophet marcus garvey
can’t hate the roots and not hate the tree
can’t sleep in the american dream when it never reached you reality
police heading towards the poor hood
poor man can’t pay the fine
he can’t flea
so they lock up the black youth
now he wear a d.o.c. shirt
working prison labour for another rich company
while a.l.e.c. write the laws for them own benefit
system criminal and has always been so
seen?
money machine
“stand you grown law” + and a murder walked free
misrepresent the case through i tv
straight propaganda
watch the sources you read
watch the word you speak
wha di ghetto boy a guh do when him criminal record nuh clean
no job fi him
turn in to crime
back to prison
hard to believe
dem a say dem ideology set the people free, but what i see = slavery
government keep the ghetto weak
the hungry child + beneath their greed
more inmates = more jobs
dem profit is a knee pressure pon the youths who can’t breathe
i come with more kaya
more faya
more energy
come and blaze fire with we
mi give thanks for rising of rasta philosophy
work fi see the poor rise in equality
we live inna the world family
all together
one inity
look fi babylon
ask yourself why jah people in need
yes i invite everybody fi come together
put fire pon babylon
with no apology
(outro speach)
one love rastafari
definitely know what time it is
the uprising of the oppressed
jah mission of righteousness
armagedion is here man
mi can’t wait fi judgement where i shall see the
death to all oppressor
fire bun dem!
