dem jus' a-whole heap a liar
a-heapin' downpression 'gainst iyah
betraying the earth rightful ruler
what a mistake, what a mistake now
babylon
with a cross and a dagger
dem run come rape mother africa
and turn we garden a empire
what a disgrace, what a disgrace now
babylon
oh you can't keep I down babylon
I am a rastaman
no you can't keep I down babylon
I am a rastaman, oh yeah
I am a rastaman
so sing we praise to the higher
and lick a draw, natty inspire
and meditation come forward
satta binghi, satta binghi
burn babylon
raise the black starliner
cos marcus words dem a transpire
and jah lion fe conquer
one of these days, one of these days now
babylon
oh you can't keep I down babylon
I am a rastaman
no you can't keep I down babylon
I am a rastaman, oh yeah
I am a rastaman
