Must Rasta bear this cross alone
And all the heathen go free?
Jah say no
Must Rasta live in misery
And heathens in luxury?
Jah say no
He's coming to tear down the walls of downpression
Drive away transgression
Clean up corruption
Rule equality
Must righteous live in pain
And always put to shame?
Jah say no
Must they be found guilty
And always get the blame?
Jah say no
He's gonna tear down the walls of downpression
Drive away transgression
Clean up the corruption
Set the captives free
He will not give I&I
More than I can bear
Jah say no
He will not make Lucifer
Get your soul to smear
Jah say no
Him a go tear down the walls of a Babylon
Clean up the corruption
Drive away transgression
Rule equality
He will not make I
Dash I foot 'gainst the stone
Jah say no
No form of destruction
Won't crumble my bones
Jah say no
Him a go tear down the walls of a Babylon
Eliminate Satan
Clean up corruption
Rule equality
So I will not bear this cross alone
And all the world go free
Jah say no...
I will not stay poor
Living in poverty
Jah say no...
Him a come clean up corruption
Drive away transgression
Tear down Babylon
Set the captives free
Jah say no, set the free
Jah say no, in it all
Jah say no, all time
