[Intro:]
Why is it to stand and deny the work of his Imperial Majesty
Emperor Selassie I?
Why is it to rebel against each other when we work to establish
our own nobility?
[Chorus A:]
So Negro,dem no really know we yet
Score done show say dem have no pie-fry!
Oneness-mess up dem and dem wicked flex
Warrior roll wet or dry,hey!
Blackness! some ah dem no really know we yet
Score done show say dem ha' the pie-fry!
Oneness-mess up dem and dem wicked flex
Warrior roll wet or dry
[Verse 1:]
Well ah mus' wait,cyah push me under
Come straight 'cause to this me ah no stranger
Some thief and ah create,cyah go no further
In front yuh face Sizzla Kalonji have the danger
How-wow-wow!!
Soaring of the fire,things can get ugly
Yeah yeah-yeah!!
You're our desire if yuh want to come and test me
No gimme dat brow,you innoculous
Bruise wouldn't save the sore
Your cheques ah put yuh signature
Yuh test the best,yuh never live to draw
Rastaman is of their own leisure
N-n-n-n-never mix yuh business with pleasure
Black people come,we jump fuh joy
Raise yuh hand,de music--hey!
[Chorus B:]
So Negro,dem no really know we yet
Score done show dem ha' the pie-hey!
Who next? mess dem up,dem and dem wicked flex
Warrior roll wet or dry,hey!
Blackness! some ah dem no really know we yet
Score done show say dem ha' the pie-fry!
Oneness-mess up dem and dem wicked flex
Babylon burn wet or dry!
[Verse 2:]
Well ah wouldn't play with it! why must I lay with it?
Bounce-gather yuh pieces and yuh bits,ey!
I wouldn't play with it! why must I lay with it?
Count-not ah ounce I miss,nah-nah,nah-nah
Cyah make me vex as if they want mih to
Bro,watch yuh step and the things you do,yay!
Yuh cut yuh ropes or look for obstacle
And none ah yuh codes,none ah yuh cops could ever make me postpone
[Chorus C:]
Negro,dem no really know we yet
Score done show say dem ha' the pie-fry!
Who next? mess dem and dem wicked flex
Selassie I stand wet or dry
Oh Negro,yow some no really know we yet
Score done show say dem ha' the pie-fry!
Oneness-mess dem and dem wicked flex
Warrior roll wet or dry
[Verse 3:]
N-n-now!!
I talk and some get crazy
The truth ah burn some heart,dem wah commit hasty
Those standing for offer chat 'bout mih feisty
Or!! probably you done doh know me-ey!
Love is high meditation
Some mind,dey bring segregation that mess up situation
Love is high medtation
Some ah bring segregation that mess up
[Chorus D:]

Some ah dem no really know we yet
Score done show say dem ha' the pie-fry!
Oneness-mess up heavy wicked flex

Yow,blackness!
Some ah dem no really know we yet
Score done show say dem ha' the pie-fry!
Oneness-dem up dem and dem wicked flex
Babylon burn wet or dry
[Verse 1]
[Chorus C: fading]
