Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
A just the bible say so, a just the bible say so, eh-a-a-a
All wicked people shall be burning on the rock hotter fire bun
All wicked people shall be burning on the rock my lawd
Mix up people, are so confused in every way
Confrontation, read it in the news everyday
Do you wickedness and think nobody no see
But the unseen eye is the Almighty
Always watch over you and me
Select the clean and not dirty yo yo
I see you trying to run, but there's no escape
I see you try to hide but there's no hiding place
The works that you have done brings mankind disgrace
That mean a your time fi get erase yo yo
Hey you a one a wha, satan follower
It seems the righteous are few yo
You caught in the middle of the belly of the beast
And there's no hope for you babylon
Me see dem pollution, pure corruption
Exploitation coming from over yonder
Abomination, war and confusion
Here it in a dem propaganda
I will be there when the rapture call
Rasta will be there to testify you down fall
Mix up people, are so confused in every way
Confrontation, read it in the news everyday
Do you wickedness and think nobody no see
But the unseen eye is the Almighty
Always watch over you and me
Select the clean and not dirty yo yo

In the song "One Thing" by Anthony B, the artist expresses his faith in the Almighty and stresses the importance of doing good and staying away from wickedness. He begins the song by stating that his words are not solely his own, but come from the Bible. He then goes on to say that all wicked people will face burning punishment, which is a reference to hell. He also highlights the confusion and confrontation prevalent in society, with references to pollution, corruption, exploitation, and war. Anthony B sings about how people can't hide their wrongdoing from the Almighty and that only the clean and righteous will be selected.
Throughout the song, Anthony B takes a stand against wickedness and aligns himself with the righteous. He speaks directly to those who follow Satan and warns them of their impending downfall. He believes that when the rapture comes, he and other Rastafarians will testify to their powerlessness, and he sings of his hope that the Almighty will always be watching over them. The overall message is clear: do good, be clean, and avoid wickedness, or you will face punishment.

Always watch over you and me
The omnipresent God is always watching over everyone
Select the clean and not dirty yo yo
Choose to be a good person rather than a bad one

Read Full BioAnthony B is the stage name of Keith Blair (born March 31, 1976), a Jamaican musician.
Blair grew up in rural Clarks Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny. His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh's influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B's vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.
Anthony B adopted Rastafarian beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well-received by his family. The stubborn and determined Anthony B refused to give up his new religion and his dreadlocks and moved to the home of his aunt and uncle in the Kingston suburb, Portmore.
While attending high school, Anthony B debuted as a deejay for the local sound system, Shaggy Hi-Power. In 1988, he befriended reggae artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous.
At this point in the reggae industry, singing "slack" songs about women was the popular thing to do. Anthony B did not believe in degrading women and chose to pen politically-slanted songs rather than so-called "gyal chunes." He hooked up with Little Devon the Half Pint sound-a-like singer he made his debut single "The Living is Hard" on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B tried many different producers but found that none of them fit his style of music. Finally, Anthony B teamed up with Richard "Bello" Bell, creating hits such as Fire Pon Rome, Raid Di Barn, Rumour, and Repentance Time. Anthony B's 1996 debut album Real Revolutionary was highly acclaimed in the reggae community. In late 1997, Anthony B released Universal Struggle which showed that Anthony B had a consistent, high-calibre talent. Anthony B has released a large number of albums since that time including 1999's Seven Seals and 2004's Untouchable which featured collaborations with artists including Wyclef Jean.
Anthony B tours extensively in Europe and North America and is known for his fiery, high-energy performances.
Anthony B is a member of the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafarian movement. "Bobo Dreads", as they are known, are recognizable by their long robes and turbans. The strong Afrocentric pride and the other Rastafarian beliefs (or "overstandings" as Rastafarians prefer to call them) which Anthony B holds are reflected in his songs.

One thing I can do , one thing I can say
Real Blackman no drink coffee
I rather have a good tea
It is a thing that my ancestors were knowing.
This a cold bringing in your life coffee
Sorry my colour mind is really invisible
I know from Jamaican, iβll always been considered as sufferer.
But almighty God a lead me in my way, no badmind canβt stop me nailed.
