One Drop

Feel it in the one drop

And we'll still find time to rap

We're making the one-stop

The generation gap

Now feel this drumbeat

As it beats within

Playing a rhythm

Resisting against the system, o

I know Jah never let us down

Pull your rights from wrong

(I know Jah would never let us down)

Oh, no oh, no oh, no

They made their world so hard (so hard)

Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting)

They made their world so hard (so hard)

Every day the people are dying (dying), yeah

(Dread, dread) for hunger (it dread, dread) and starvation

(Dread, dread, it dread, oh dread) lamentation

But read it in revelation (dread, dread, it dread, dread)

(Dread, dread) you'll find your redemption

And then you give us the teachings of his majesty

For we no want no devil philosophy

A-you give us the teachings of his majesty

A-we no want no devil philosophy

Feel it in the one drop

And we'll still find time to rap

We're making the one-stop

And we're filling the gap

So feel this drumbeat

As it beats within

Playing a rhythm

Fighting against -ism and schism, singing

I know Jah never let us down

Pull your rights from wrong

I know Jah never let us down

Oh, no oh, no oh, no

They made their world so hard

Every day (we got to keep on fighting) every day

They made their world so hard

Every day (the people are dying) eh

(Dread, dread, it dread, dread) a-what make dem a-go on so?

(Dread, dread, it dread, oh dread) a-what

(Dread, dread, it dread) a-what (dread)

A-what frighten them? (Dread, dread)

A-what frighten them? Eh

Give us the teachings of his majesty, this is a stick up

We no want no devil philosophy, can you hear?

Give us the teachings of his majesty

For we no want no devil philosophy

We feel it in the one drop

You're lucky, for we'll still got time to rap

And we're making the one-stop, let me tell ya

This generation gap

Now feel this drumbeat, tell you what

As it's beating within
