Nah Go Down
Iya!
Is a long time I and I ah suffer in ah Babylon
With all the trials and tribulations seen
So we ah fe cut and run or stay and burn
Ohooo ooo o
Aye!
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Rasta nah go be no bait
We ah fe rise out we sleep and we slumber
Cause all them ah deal with a hate
They want come tell l about equal opportunity
But they rotten to the core with hypocrisy
Snorting their coke and they drinking the whiskey
While they plotting there conspiracy...
Rasta nah go down with Babylon
Like no careless Ethiopian
We nah go give up we roots and we culture
For no religious institution
Nah go down with Babylon
Like no careless Ethiopian
We nah go give up we roots and we culture
For no religious institution
Cause we've been brutalised and terrorised
Used and abused
And our children have to learn their lies
Just to be refused
But Marcus say Africa is for the Africans
At home and abroad
Garvey say Africa is for the Africans
So we ah fe forward ah we yard
Rasta nah go down with Babylon
Like no careless Ethiopian
We nah go give up we roots and we culture
For no religious institution
Nah go down with Babylon
Like no careless Ethiopian
We nah go give up we roots and we culture
For no religious institution
Take a look at picture
You'll see the imitation
So you done know they tamper with the scripture
With their misinterpretation
Kings Selassie done tell I and I already
Seek spirituality
So ah wise we ah rise and ah forward to the mother land
Fe set a foundation
Rasta nah go down with Babylon
Like no careless Ethiopian
We nah go give up we roots and we culture
For no religious institution
Nah go down with Babylon
Like no careless Ethiopian
We nah go give up we roots and we culture
For no religious institution
Yaa woo
Yaa woo
Yaa woo
Yaa woo
Things getting from bad to worse
Its like the system it deh pun reverse
Down in ah Babylon Cinderella is a man
With a wand in ah him hand
Lightening and thunder, fire and brimstone
Some of them go holler me say some of them go groan
He no have no teeth ah go gnash him gum
Them ah go wander where the fire come from
Na go down, na go go down
Na go down, na go go down
Na go down, na go go down
Rasta na go down with Babylon
Na go down, na go go down
Na go down, na go go down
Na go down, na go go down
Rasta na go down with Babylon
Is a long time I and I ah suffer in ah Babylon
With all the trials and tribulations seen
So we ah fe cut and run or stay and burn
Ohooo ooo o
Aye!
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Rasta nah go be no bait
We ah fe rise out we sleep and we slumber
Cause all them ah deal with a hate
