And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one-stop
The generation gap
Now feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playin' a riddim
Resisting against the system, ooh-wee!
I know Jah never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong (I know Jah would never let us down)
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting)
They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day the people are dyin' (dying) yeah!
(It dread, dread) for hunger (dread, dread) and starvation
(Dread, dread, dread, dread)
Lamentation (dread, dread)
But read it in Revelation (dread, dread, dread, dread)
You'll find your redemption
And then you give us the teachings of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
A you fe give us the teachings of His Majesty
A we no want no devil philosophy
Feel it in the one drop
And we still find time to rap
We're making the one-stop

Fighting against ism and skism
Singing "I know Jah never let us down"
