Babylon you no ready fi me
But the roots and rocksteady is
Them try to take us revolutionaries down
But the youths dam are holding
Babylon you’re not pleasing to me
You breed misery and poverty
You cause confusion among friends and family
Your wicked ways no belong with humanity
You not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
You not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
The higher the mountain the greater the fall
The stronger the spirit will never stay down
Defenders of peace will always be crowned
We chase out the wicked with power of sound
Hey, hey, hey
The higher the mountain
The greater the fall
The stronger the spirit will never stay down
Defenders of peace will always be crowned
We chase out the wicked with power of sound
Hey, hey, hey
Babylon you not ready fi me
But the roots and rocksteady is
Them try to take us revolutionaries down
But the youths dam are holding
Babylon you not pleasing to me
You breed misery and poverty
You cause confusion among friends and family
Your wicked ways don't belong with humanity
You not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
You not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
The time of oppression will not to end now
The righteous has returned right now
They stand dumb-found
Tearin' holes in our pockets, while they're beyond rich
Give it back to the people and throw dem in a ditch
Strengthen up your faith, and stop livin' pon you knees
Draw your power from Jah and watch the beast flee
You not ready
Dem not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
You not ready
Dem not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
The time of oppression has got to end now
The righteous has returned now
They stand dumb-found
Tearin' holes in our pockets, while they're beyond rich
Give it back to the people and throw dem in a ditch
Strengthen up your Faith, and stop livin' on your knees
Draw your Power from Jah, and watch the beast flee
You not ready
Dem not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
You not ready
Dem not ready
Dem not ready
Fi the roots and rocksteady
Yaga, yaga, yo, yo, yo
