[Intro]
Hail Jah Rastafari and Empress Menen
No beginning, no ending, yeah
Hail Jah Rastafari, the Lion of Judah
Don't let Babylon fool you
Don't become a victim of Babylon system
[Verse 1]
I watch the victims of a system
I know Jah children, dem living in darkness
And all dem big plays, no paydays
And now them sell out Jah Jah prophet them for rice and peas
A man say forgive, but never forget
I know for spill my blood, that a dem intent
I know in wolf eyes is bare lies
And now I penetrate them through how them disguise
A me see bare chains on backbones
And now them wash our brains with charcoals
A me say with stress, you're helpless
Until them turn your soul case into a basket
Well Babylonian, your time's numbered
I know tomorrow is Holy Ethiopia
That's when the Lion from Zion
Him a go bust the seven seals and free up I man
A me say slave trade abolishment
A Hollywood illusion made with intent
And then consequent to chain up our brain
Until my soul come back now in a hurricane
So we say forgive, and never forget
I know for waste my talent that a dem intent
And now we keep on, we're coming so strong
Enemies of Robber Babylonian
[Chorus]
'Cause where dem enemies of Robber Babylonian?
The enemies of Robber Babylonian
Say, where da enemies of Robber Babylonian?
Say, where da enemies? Da enemies?
And meanwhile dem sell out, sell out, sell out, sell out
Watch all dem sell out, sell out, sell out, sell out
They're gonna sell out, sell out, sell out, sell out
I know them sell out Jah Jah prophet them for rice and peas
[Verse 2]
Victims of a system
Children, dem dying in darkness
And all the big plays, no paydays
And now them sell out Marcus Garvey them for rice and peas
I got a sharp mind and my sharp wit
And now you'll never turn my soul inna no basket
Psychological misgivings would a never stop this Rasta youth from living
I know da car bombs, dem change geography
And now it's a different psycho-sociology
That they been warranting now by my rude boy face
You'll never turn my Rasta people in disgrace
A me say, victims of a system
Children, dem dying in darkness
And all the big plays, no paydays
And now them sell out Jah Jah prophet them for rice and peas
Forgive, never forget
I know for spill my blood that a dem intent
But now we keep on, we're coming so strong
'Cause where da enemies of Robber Babylonian?
[Chorus]
'Cause where dem enemies of Robber Babylonian?
Enemies of Robber Babylonian
Say, where da enemies of Robber Babylonian?
'Cause where da enemies? Da enemies?
And meanwhile dem sell out, sell out, sell out, sell out
Watch all dem sell out, sell out, sell out, sell out
They're gonna sell out, sell out, sell out, sell out
I know them sell out Marcus Garvey dem for ra-a, ra-a, ra-a
[Bridge]
Jah youth we're holding firm
Wicked a watch and squirm
We're inna this ya rootical music long term
We watch dem victimize
The truth them sodomize
And with my musical sword them a gon' chop down to size
[Outro]
Chop down to size
Chop down to size
Chop down to size
Chop down to size
