Dem tell mi fi cut and mi still grow;
Cah Rastafari seh so!

The road to zion rocky,
But we still a walk
We move outta Babylon, dem still a talk.
we keep the fyah burning,
and dem shut it off so,
Back it off now, Judgement time now.
Emperor Selassie I rule the earth,
I and I pray from birth.
No handcuff on me wrist, no blood 'pon mi shirt,
Babylon mi heart still a hurt.

So mi praise - King Selassie!
And endorse di ghetto youth,
