Victims of a System, Children living in darkness
And all the big plays, no paydays; now them sell out JAH JAHprophets all for rice and peas
Forgive but never forget. To spill my blood that a them intent
In wolf eyes is bare lies and now me penetrate them through how them disguise
Bare chains on my backbones and now them wash our brains with charcoals
And I say with stress, your helpless
Until them turn your Soul case Into a basket
Well Babylonian, times numbered, because tomorrow a Holy Ethiopia
That's when the Lion from Zion him a go bust the 7 seals and free up I man
Slave trade abolishment I know a Hollywood illusion made with intent
And then consequent to chain up my brain
Until my soul come back now in a hurricane
So me say forgive but never forget
To waste my talent that a them intent, but still we keep on coming so strong
Enemies of robber Babylonians
Enemies of robber Babylonian (x3)
Meanwhile them sellout, sellout
Nuff a them a sellout, sellout
Nuff a them a sellout, sellout
And now them sell out Marcus Garvey now for rice and peas
Victims of a System, Children living in darkness
And all the big plays, no paydays; now them sell out JAH JAH prophets all for rice and peas
I got a sharp mind and a sharp wit, so you'll never turn my soul into a basket
Psychological misgivings would never stop this Rasta youth from living
Car bombs change geography and now it's a different psycho-sociology
That they be warranting now by my rude boy face
Unnu never turn my Rasta people in disgrace
Forgive but never forget
To waste my talent a them intent
But we keep on coming so strong
Enemies of Robber Babylonian
Enemies of robber Babylonian (x3)
Meanwhile them sellout, sellout
Nuff a them a sellout, sellout
Nuff a them a sellout, sellout
And now them sell out Marcus Garvey now for rice and peas
Youths we hold on firm; Wicked a watch and a squirm
Were in this rootical music long term
Watch them victimize the truth them paralyze
And with my music sword them a chop down to size
Children time to open your eyes!!!
Don't Become avictim of Babylon system!
