Thinkin that I won't up on dread hahaha, Rasta

Before i awake gotta give Jah Jah praises first thing
No other god come before me
So wicked Babylon, me go sing up
Chant them down Babylon
Me go stand up
hold thy ground against them wicked plans
Speak up,
Testify against them Babylon system
Give thanks and praise
No matter where i go, no matter what they say

No matter where i go, no matter where i play

So why you wanna wait so long?
Shining so bright, and natty dready don't wait
Why you wanna wait so long?
So long, so long, my little baby don't wait

For his majesties love
Open your hearts and let Jah come in
and i will know that he will wipe away our sin
