Yes Babylon a go take away your human rights
Unnu better get up, turn up, yes get up, turn up

Fight fi justice, fight fi truth and rights
And remember the words of King Selassie I
Him seh fi organise and centralise
Be self-sufficient and hail the most high
And memba when Marcus Garvey prophesise
If you don’t stand up you will die
Ask mi no question I tell you no lie
Spit inna di sky it a go fall inna your eye
What goes up I say it must come down
Seh we control over country and we mash it inna town
Wriggling and yuh jiggling to the champion sound
Tell yuh dis a sound come fi mash your place down
Tell yuh dis a sound a go mash down Rome
