America come to fyah di big gun
I&I see di old church bun dung
America trick we and go all ways from di truth
I&I behind Jesus suit
well
stars and stripes nuh is not my salvation
dem want fi globalize di world
wid di americanization
uncle son Barry Johnny inna Vietnam
dem waan go Barry Johnny again inna Afganistan
America
call back your soldiers
America
move wey from Africa
America
call back your soldiers
America
move wey from Africa
wooyyy
America marching from Iraq to Botswana
and searching fi right dung in every corna
America send you chopa in Angola
collect a diamond from Congo straight to Ghana
America why you turn yuh back to New Orleans
you need an humble president fi no shotta thing
you need to wash your dutty clothes dem with your own water
and stop abusing in every sources inna Africa
America
call back your soldiers
America
move wey from Africa
America
call back your soldiers
America
move wey from Africa
ooyyy
mi sick and tired of political games
America fyah gun inna Jeasus name
we sing what we know and what we understand
cah Rastafari god is
a living man
America fool some people sometimes
but you can't fool Rasta people at no time
so long time we call fi lightning
America just stop di fightin well
America call back your soldiers
America
move wey from Africa
America
call back your soldiers
America
move wey from Africa
