[Intro:]

seh wah, mi juss seh bun Babylon but mi nuh care

I ain't giving up, keep on living up, I'm indigenous

Holy Emmanuel I King Selassie Jah Rastafari

Him live and reign in di heart of all flesh

di Conquering Lion crown King of Kings

Lord of Lords wid him Lioness

so hear mi no?

Repatriation is a must to Ethiopia, Africa

[Chorus:]

Rastaman wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear

wi taking over righteousness mi declare

wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear

come on ,come on mek mi see your hands in di air

[Bridge:]

Yo cause a full time now let the trumpet sound

a full time now Babylon going down

a full time now mek di youth dem wear di crown

yo inna di country and di town

[Verse 1:]

hungry be fed, naked be clothed, sick be nourish, aged protected, infants fi cared for

mi and Babylon nah go par

tell dem mi and dutty Babylon always a war

nah go dip mi hand inna nuh punk cookie jar

police bwoy fi locks but a mar him guh mar

di soldier bwoy fi locks but a mar him guh mar

through him and di Pope and di bitch waan go par

Selassie flash di lightening dat mi tell di gun dar

Selassie roll di tunda dat mi tell di gun dar

dem lost dem ways dem nuh know who dem are

well then mi tell yuh your da bright and a morning star

nuff a dem a brag bout seh dem a toppa nar

King Selassie is di almighty, yaah star

Emmanuel a di Higer Priest, yaah star

Marcus a mi black prophet, yaah star

di Blaack Woman she a mi black mother, yaah star

Selassie blaze him golden chalice when Castro talk bout seh dem a smoke dem cuban cigar

mi smoke mi Marijuana inna mi van or mi car

[Bridge 2:]

Cause a full time now rise di youth from di slum

a full time now mek di fiyah gwan bun

a full time now speak di truth from mi tongue

dutty Babylon yuh going dung yo yo yow

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

Hear mi nuh hear mi nuh?

Mi nuh trust dem fi a minute nor second

righteousness a dat mi come fi reckon

tell dem seh listen wen Selassie beckon

dem get stubbon through dem start to carry big weapon

brag bout di magnum weh di laser beam deh pon

man mi shot di bwoy wid a old rusty Smith & Wesson

couldn't stop di powers weh mi a manifest on

bun dem out dem cyaan come contest di Rastaman

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

Mi go sight dem pon di show down

pagan dem get throw down

too hype run guh tell dem seh fi slow down

Mystery Babylon dem haffi go down

dem a huff dem a puff mi building dem cyaan blow down
