Although yuh smart, dem sen yuh guh a Jamal
Oh Selassie I, Rastafarian calling
Murda di Pope wheh a defender of evil
Sing along, a little song
All try and dem beat it an kill it
Word of Elijah, di man used to spread it
When con is a short name for condemnation
Oh Selassie I, Rastafarian calling
Babylon, yuh pull di chain from mi han
People, well, unnuh clean out yuh ears an listen to mi lyrics
This is no Pelican Brief, my speech
Oh Selassie I, Rastafarian calling
Mi still under yuh Babylon system
Warning to the dragon and the mark of the beast
Have wi like a slave, under chain and shackle
Mussolini an him friend, dem tief the gold and all di diamond
I say man a true needle, kill the dragon and eagle
Yuh nuh hear 'bout di Lieshah di ball head prophet
Mek dem a galong suh like dem caan tun discease
Marcus Garvey try a fi rice dem, sell it
John di most righteous man yet still wasn't a prophet
Long time dem bwoi deh a pressure black people
Malcolm X try an a coppershot end it
Follow Beenie Man and all live it
God knows, freedom, for some I am bawling
Call on the Selassie wheh a blow all di breeze
Well, mi naah guh too stress, me just a look a explanation
How fi spell politics and greet politician
I nuh know 'bout di I, I a true Ethiopian
God knows, freedom, for some I am bawling
Mi still under yuh Babylon system
He could not be God, dem haffi tun him inna baptist
Who steal wi name, check the queen wheh deh a England?
Now wi buss out inna muscle
God knows, freedom, for some I am bawling
Christopher Columbus, 'bout him discover island
Freedom, for some I am bawling
An a him tun roun an all enslave black man
This is the meaning of ma lyrics in these times
This is the word from the black man
God judgment is only certain man see it
Mandela come an try it
An guh a ting like
Freedom, for some I am bawling
Teach yuh how fi spell gun and nuclear weapon
Beenie Man a sing a ting
Discover what when him come spot the Indian
Babylon, yuh pull di chain from mi han
Freedom, for some I am bawling
Nowhere in the Bible, where those words come from?
A she build the pope and introduce Vatican
Mi still under yuh Babylon system
Now dem reach Paul I wonder if dem want to expand
God knows, turn wi loose, now
Queen Elizabeth, all she is a next one
From the day mi know myself, man a born of mammal
Well, a long time mi deh warn dem fi look to the east
Dem restore wi name an class us as African
Oh Selassie I, Rastafarian calling
Freedom, for some I am bawling
Weeping, wailing, nashing of teeth
Only we inna di music business can stop it
Beenie Man a sing a ting
From Constantine, Julius and all Pope John
Babylon, yuh pull di chain from mi han
Mi still under yuh Babylon system
Pope Constantine, inna him grave an all a grief
Beenie Man a sing a ting
God knows, freedom, for some I am bawling
Babylon, yuh pull di chain from mi han
Well, him never reach far, prison wall di man face it
