Now 'ear dis!
Well di yutes diem of today seh no longer
Will they take anymore injustice and suffahration
We were once all kings and queens, princes and princesses from Africa
In other words... we were born in wealth
As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end
What is to be must be
In odda words di yute dem fi 'ave tings!!!
Watch it it boom!
In dis ya 21st centry man haffi move stelty
Poor a get poorah while di rich a get wellty
Time afta time dem a ack like dem bline-
But reality deh in front wi face like a selfie
Faada god help wi!
Mawga daag plenty
While di daads him live abraad wid all bentley
While dem a flaas wi baskit half empty
Trute is an offense so mi nah fi talk gently
Study fi pass di claas di jaahb empty
Ciaa even half di markit baag tell mi
How much longah u tink dem ago tek it?
The revolution is near
Rastafari knows
When di yutes dem get cold and the frustration starts to show
And dem seh dem naaaaah tollarate dat... dem nah tek nuh chat
And when it get dread and reddah dan red nuff ciaah sleep inna dem bed
Caah di yutes dem naaaah tollarate dat (no no nooo)
"Naaaaaaah tollerate dat (no no nooooo no)
Open u eye dem
An tek a look inna di govament
A fiwi vote a fiwi seh dat mean a owah strent
Dem cut di lite an cut di wata
I and I nuh vote nuh longah
Cuz mi doh si weh di powah nor di showah went
Den politician a show dem teet an a show dem gum
And none a nuh trident
An den dem pack up in a jeep an run seh dem a go try dent
Well a juss di fait a di covanent mek mi nuh go vilent
Tings an time a get tuffah yute dem a suffah
Di jankro dem pick pon poor people an is like dem wah devowah dem
Guh tell dem wah sweet to dem mout it a go sowah dem
Di yute dem hungry...

Dem would'n mine if unnu flowah dem
Dem bill will hopes and sell wi dreams an doh seh how when-
Dem ago happen-
So wi just get the lowah en-
Of wah society hah fi offah

Rastafari knows
When di yutes dem get cold and the frustration starts to show
And dem seh dem naaaaah tollerate dat... dem nah tek nuh chat
And when it get dread and reddah dan red nuff ciaa sleep inna dem bed
