Intro:
Yeah! Rastafari, (ha) Ethiopia, Africa
Yes! We doing it just right, we getting it perfect
Special request for you and yours ha ha
Now here come the music
Verse 1
With all the problems in the world
And everyday people complaining
No hospitals, no schools for the boys and girls
With their naked eyes, dont you see that its slavery (whoa!)
Tired to work so hard in the sun, people unemployed
Not sufficient money, Mama work hard!
Till her fingers are numb
Trying to escape poverty, but some how it still coming
Damn! Everyday so much gats are done
Corruption! Thats how the system is running (whoa!)
Ive got to set myself free (whoa!)
Chorus
Vocals (Got to be free!)
And be what the most high, had always wanted me to be
Set the captives free! (whoa!, whoa!)
Vocals (Got to be free!)
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
Verse 2
Billions of guns make everyday
Dont try to intimidate me, Ill never run away
Jah blessings is coming our way, so pagans dont you stand in our way
Yow! We fight society, while dem web out, tek dem like society
Too anxious, too much anxiety, dem never see what the almighty want dem see
(Ahhhhhhhh!!!)
Chorus
Ive got to set myself free (whoa!)
Vocals (Got to be free!)
And be what the most high, had always wanted me to be Yeah!
Babylon. Set the captives free! (whoa!)

Verse 3
Yow! Now listen everyday you got people children going to prison
Wow! Babylon, they steal and they rob
And telling us that they are just doing their job
Theyre here to protect and serve, but they just killing the people when I look and observe
Equal rights and justice ah aw aw aw
Be careful of the ways that you practice
Ah aw aw aw whoa! ha ha
Repatriation, show love, you got no hate for no one
Bruk down the prison, hey!
I say you cannot wait on no one!
Dont show no bad face. to no one
You got to leave Babylon
Dont lickie lickie, dont eat a Babylon
Dont you believe inna Babylon

Ive got to set myself free (whoa! Whoa!)
Got to be free
Yeah! Whoa ah! Who ah!
(Vocals) Got to be free
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
