Kill, cramp and paralyse

All downpressers, aggressors and transgressors

I and I a rasta children

I and I come from zion

Living down here in babylon

Enduring the strife and tribulation

I and I no check for vanity

I and I a deal with humanity

Enduring the strife and tribulation

With jah, guidance and protection

To lead the children out of babylon

To the promised land, mount zion

Mount zion! Mount zion!

For zion high is the place for I

For I and I to dwell

Fire, fire, fire a go burn babylon

For this is a living hell

So gather the babe and suckling

To reach to the promised land, yeah

Far, far away, far, far away

Far, far away, far, far away

For I and I a rasta children

I and I a rasta children

We come from zion

We come from zion

Living down here in babylon

Enduring the strives and tribulation

I and I no check for vanity

I and I a deal with humanity

Enduring the strives and tribulation

With jah, guidance and protection

To lead the children out of babylon

To the promised land, mount zion

Mount zion, yeah, mount zion oh-oh
