Eh
Lawd a mercy
Lawd of his mercy
(Hear mi now)
Them bring out the lion in me
Them haffi hear me roar
Nah bow down to no Babylon law
Them can't employ me
Them can't destroy me
Solid as a rock
When they try to hold me back
Free up your mind
From mental slavery
Only way you know yourself
Is know it completely
You've got to live righteous
It's hard 'cause they spite us
Babylon ah trick we
And ah try to fight us
But we refuse to be
Who you want us to be
'Cause we are who we are
Honorable
But we refuse to do
What you want us to do
'Cause we are who we are
Honorable
Yeah
What is to be must be
Yes we destined to make it
Cause we destined for greatness
No rest progress keep creating
Said them can't break down
What they have not created
New paths we keep making
Above the land its ground breaking
Now watch us fly
Over the hills and the valleys
Reach for the sky
It should be mandatory
Just give it a try
And don't let them steal your glory
That's why we push ourselves
Making sure we write a better story
Cause
We refuse to be
Who you want us to be
'Cause we are who we are
Honorable
But we refuse to do
What you want us to do
'Cause we are who we are
Honorable
Yeah
Na na no
Yeah yeah yeah eyeah
Ah yeah ah yeah
Honorable
Mek we take it to another level
Them ah act like them ah Christ
When we know them ah the devil
Jah hear every prayer
Weh we make inna the chapel
And we rejoice
When them buss and free the shackles (alright)
Fire we ah bun
Hotter than Sun
When pagan see we
Them run up and down
Beat up the sound
Of the spiritual drums
Mek Africa hear we ah come
Cause ah we get the victory of the fight
When we attack from inna the night
And after the glorious battle
Jah Jah lead us in his light
We refuse to be
Who you want us to be
'Cause we are who we are
Honorable
But we refuse to do
What you want us to do
'Cause we are who we are
Honorable
Them bring out the lion in me

Free up your mind
From mental slavery
Only way you know yourself
Is know it completely
You've got to live righteous
It's hard 'cause they spite us
Babylon ah trick we
And ah try to fight us
But we refuse to be
