Break Free

Intro:

Holy Emmanuel I Selassie I

Well a lot to be said

Age be protected

The sick to be cared for

The hungry must be fed

Well, tiers of Government men like spawns

And Babylon me holla out

What ? Show you deh plans

Chorus:

Break free from the slave

Every prisoner's a come

Ethiopia's last judgement

Babylon turn ashes when me done

Tell them sey a greater fun

Them lift it up on Babylon again

Break free from the slave

Every black woman a come

Ethiopia's last judgement

Babylon turn ashes when me done

Tell them sey a greater fun

Bigger judgement

Verse 1:

Them keep on grabbing

How they've been stabbing

Now the ghetto fire caan cool

Well then, them keep on plotting

Black progress you've been stopping

So me take the ghetto youths them out a you school

Babylon you keep on rushing to where I see nothing

When you know sey you a fi me foot stool

Babylon you're always mocking

This a Zion high trodding

Stop take the ghetto youths them fi fool

See them deh eh

Bout see slave they stop chill

Pon Babylon plantation a you a go get kill

Me sey gwaan a Africa

Cause mount Zion haffe build

Every tribal man come utilise your skill

Give I strength, give I the power

Unnuh fi give me all your will

Give I the plough and the mashett

Mek me go clean up the earth

Food haffi plant, but Jack belly nah go fill

Them fight gainst the youths

Him and him breathren name Jill

Well judgement

Chorus

Verse 2:

Well you're always in pain, more and more

Tell me what's your name on your slave master door

Today you complain

Tomorrow you no sure

And then you run go wipe up blacker master floor

I see you in the morning, rushing out and through your door

Nuh Babylon bus unnuh deh hussle and board

Just know the human rights

So make your youths them secure

Black people so sweet

Nuh make Babylon plaster unnuh like sore

Chorus

Verse 3:

Where do you go from here your response

And if you give me no joy, you better hold your distance

Me tell the ghetto youth the best thing is self-reliance

Live for yourself, that is significant

Well Babylon, me nuh fool fi make you run come conquer

Yes you know, these ghetto youths them well you could not pamper

Tell them the donkey haffi Christ a mule you fi hamper

What a brain solver yah pon Nebuchadnezzar

Babylon take the mass of the land, giving the people them butter

Sey them a top class and a brand us as the nigger

Sey them a high society and we a small settler

Well thunder, lightning pon crevice and corner

Well judgement

Chorus
