Selassie is the I at me my love My meditation going like a
Stop alla keep To fulfill the black words, hey King I me hailing Anna dem go poor people first
Anytime now dem a go get a red 'Fraid, a get 'fraid now di prisoners dem a go escape Slave master a go blaze
Anytime now dem a go get a red 'Fraid, a get 'fraid Anytime now Babylon, yuh get a red Nuff cutchi man a dem run go shave
Woi, I'd to be with the people I lead Give dem my daily strength and showing dem my need And I'd to see more love than grief That's the way di ghetto youths a go achieve
And I rather to be with the in need Babylon only come yah so fi deceive I rather to listen a nah to word Dem a go cut di breast and bust di man dem seed
Mussa perish, long me see it Black people back up an yard di east di Indian say fi go look fi dem chief Tell di white man a Europe, go island seek
Hey, Rastaman no got no secret a will be a weeping an a wailing an a gnashing of teeth Come out inna di clear, behind dem a peep
Nothing fi di man, black man nah do it woman, stop sweep di white woman street Di ghetto youths go study Babylon A so me see say Vatican get
now Babylon dem a go get a red 'Fraid, a get 'fraid Anytime now yah, redder deh go blaze Stop treat people slave
Anytime now di dem a go escape Too dem deh in deh yah bake now Babylon dem a go get a red Man haffi go
Dem make dem satellite and dem it a space up di o-zone layer Babylon a fake Sun a redder and it a strip dem face Could deh dem like all [Incomprehensible] weh dey bake
Watch a make di Rastaman deal wid dem Ask dem dis question before it too Babylon, a why yuh dump toxic waste? You no see say dat yuh a big mistake
Now me who end up like bait Dem down black people To send white people through di Woi, Rastaman a Revolution, caw we repatriate
Anytime now dem a go get a red 'Fraid di a get 'fraid Anytime now dem a go get a red Dem separate we and still enslave

Di whole a dem a dis di of days Got inna di Atlantic gone fire dem lace Fi make di iceburg, fi di ice age Di a go sink when di water table raise
you stink, an yuh wan bad Yo no badda think di youth a you dis brave I black mother nah be your me black father and dem never get paid
Oh, so much a we a come a enslave I build di building, di road dem we See dem now, see dem now, see dem now yuh dis your own a judgement you made
Anytime now dem a go get a red 'Fraid, a get 'fraid now di prisoners dem a go escape Slave master place a go
