Early Days

[Intro]
Know what dem do and know what dem say
Black people, you see
Babylon selling off the christ
Babylon said, only for the look have no price
So you see, dem kill we dead like [?]
C'mon, black people
[Verse 1]
Steppin' out a babylon
Say, say, say, na go rocking out a babylon
Go deh zion, na go steppin' out a babylon
Say, say, say, na go chuck it inna zion, zion, zion, zion
Na go living inna zion, hey, yo
Have fi go make little love go, fi go make little love stay
A little love to people, Jah Jah right all a di way
Fi go steppin' out a babylon
Hey, so mi say, we walkin' onto wicked man
Say, say, say, make we chat it inna zion-I
Hey, so mi said, fi love a Rastafari (good gosh)
So mi said, fi love a Rastafari (black people)
[Verse 2]
And a who say Jah dead, I said, a rumor dem a spread
And a who say Jah Jah dead, I said, a rumor dem a spread
I said, fi love a Rastafari; hey, so mi say, fi praise a Rastafari
Give thanks and praise, under di lord, god Jah Rastafari
Well, [?], said no evil, said no form
Said, a make we steppin' out a babylon
Di black a people, make we walk out a babylon
Say, say, say, make we talk out a babylon
[Bridge]
(I tell you, say, part fi divide)
Tell 'em, sister Jasmine, tell 'em, tell on the babylon
(Because a of di vibe)
Fi we have di vibe, so mi say
[Verse 3]
Steppin' out a babylon
Say, say, say, na go rock it inna irieland
Hey, so mi say, di sun come down and di earth get hot
Di sun a come down and di earth get hot
Say, di earth, it like a melting pot (good gosh)
Say, di earth, it like a melting pot
Cah, natty nat up a youth, and he nat up a nat
Di nat up a youth, and he nat up a nat
Natty nat up di ital part, cah dat
Di natty nat up di ital part
Tell you, natty steppin' onto wicked man, yeah, yo
Black people don't know themselves until their back against the wall; some rise and some fall
Tell you, so mi say, cah, make we steppin' out a babylon
Hey, so mi say, mi walk out a babylon
Say, say, say, make we talk out a babylon
(I tell you, natty down inna corruption)
[Outro]
Tell 'em, sister Jasmine, tell 'em
(I tell you, said, we comin' from zion)
Comin' from a place called zion (Lion)
