Barrington Levy - Captivity (Hunter Man LP 1983)

I'm gonna stay from Babylon , oh
Jah Jah knows
I'm going to a place where i can reap happiness
I don't wanna mix up with them no more
I want to drop out of Babylon captivity
It feels so good see you will reap it


With this whole bad thing , you will never go to Zion .....Zion you want to go.....
If you break the rules they gonna lash you , with the rod of iron

I want to be free, yeah . Ooo-hh yeah
I'm gonna stay from Babylon and captivity
I'm going to a place

I don't want to mix up with them , no more , no-ooooo
I'm going to a place where i can reap , yeah-h , happiness

Babylon will never hold me in they arms
Jah Jah have me on the tight rope
They are no jaws over me
They will never hold me in their arms oh no

They want to change me from worship my father
I will never do that no , no
Jah jah is my guide and light for seeing
They ask for silver and gold but i ask for love

Babylon want to change me , from worship my God
And i know i give you my guiding light
Babylon NO , you can't come in
When you judge me, God knows...... ohh-wo-oow
