They've been under human pressure in Babylon, whoi

You soon blow your fuse
You don't know which way to go or which way to choose, ey
All our lives been deprived
And pretending that we are doing right
Can't see what we're really doing
Babylon you're falling right now
African people, the time is now, ahoi
African people, jump and shout
African people, the time is now
African people, come let's jump and shout
They left us down here by the wayside to suffer
And no matter how hard we try
They are standing us down
The system they have
But we'll never let them hold us down
We will pray, we will pray
And Jah Jah will answer our prayer one day
African people, the time is now
African people, you gotta jump and shout
Ah yeah

You'll soon blow your fuse
You don't know which way to go or where to choose
So for the hands of the wicked man, oh lord
Ding ding ding na na whoi
Rally where the red gold and green, ahoi yeah
See the light

'Cause the people see the right, and they know wrong, oh yeah
Don't know wha
And they can't find a way
We need to let the right way of our own, ahoi
All our lives been deprived
And pretending that we are doing right
