From the day mi know miself, man a born of mammal (Babylon)
Although yuh smart, dem sen yuh guh a Jamal (Babylon)
Teach yuh how fi spell gun and nuclear weapon (Babylon)
How fi spell politics and greet politician (Babylon)
Nowhere in the bible where those words come from (Babylon)
Dem restore wi name an class us as African (Babylon)
When con is a short name for condemnation (Babylon)
I nuh know 'bout di I, I a true Ethiopian (Babylon)
Christopher Columbus, bout him discover island (Babylon)
Discover what when him come spot the Indian (Babylon)
An a him tun roun' an all enslave black man (Babylon)
Muslini an him friend dem tief the gold and all di diamond (Babylon)
Who steal wi name, check the queen wheh deh a England (Babylon)

Weeping wailing, nashing of teeth (Babylon)

He could not be God, dem haffi tun him inna baptist (Babylon)
This is the meaning of ma lyrics
Well (Babylon), in these times Mandela come an try it (Babylon)
Well him never reach far, prison wall di man face it (Babylon)
Malcolm X try an a coppershot end it (Babylon)

Only we inna di music, business can stop it (Babylon)
Follow Beenie Man and all live it, and sing this
Freedom, for some I am bawling
Babylon yuh pull di chain from mi han
Mi still under yuh Babylon system
God knows
Freedom, for some I am bawling
Oh Selassie I, rastafarian calling
