How long we a go suffer, down inna Babylon
What happen to the Rastaman earth tradition?
We need a new blueprint, we want a fresh plan
Cah Rasta nah fi dwell up inna confusion
Of what we a go tell di younger generation
And how we go enter in the gates of Zion
Seh hav' you forgot about the wider mission
To build a strong nation based on education
With preparation, repatriation
Hospitals, schools and institution
Stand up like a lion, inna Zion
And when dem see wi coming, dem starting to run
So me calling all the brave and mi calling all the strong
Cah if you got a heart, then you will come along
You rise up fi your banner, you sing Jah Jah song
Repatriation, for each and every one, hey

The battle jus' start, be sharp like a dog
The forces that we fight against they a well dark
So don't trust no shadow inna Central Park
And mind how you walk and mind how you talk
The word an' the sound that a de power
An' when me come a dance, the lyric shower
Let me take a dem ya lyrics an' mi build a tower
Cah I-man is a youth no want no propaganda, no
