I remember how much tears you cause for us to be free
Free to flash out di dreadlocks and our dignity
Cah di rumours dem a spread was negative publicity
Dem time deh we use to live in captivity
For all di blood that you promote fear straight to di ground
For all di victims and the innocents we push in a song
In memory of those who fall just for us to be free
We keep on singing jah jah music
Well

Dem wearing shoes so we gonna one bare foot
We pushing away their lies promoting our truth
