What's sitting in the shadows,
Must be revealed to light. (no beg them)

Dis ya Rastaman.

Every step Rasta take (if you're no careful)
A Babylon try too.

Guilty or no guilty, Babylon you going to pay;
For what you did to my people,
Hear me, hear me when I say!

You can't afford to stop my children!
You've got to keep on grooving!

Today for you, I say tomorrow for me!
Can't you see that the truth, yea,
It is so plain to see?
You're living inna world of confusion,
Soon it's gonna fade away;
For whatever your works is,
Jah know you gonna get your pay.

And me no Superman, but we flying dread..
