Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase satan out of earth
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase the devil out of earth
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
Satan is an evilous man,
But him can't chocks it on I-man
And if him slip, I gaan with him hand
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase satan out of earth
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase the devil out of earth
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
Him haffi drop him fork and run
Him can't stand up to Jah Jah son
Him haffi lef' ya with him gun
Dig off with him bomb
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase satan out of earth
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase the devil out of earth
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race
Satan is a evilous man,
But him can't chocks it on I-man
So when I check him my lassing hand
And if him slip,
I gaan with him hand
The lyrics of DJ Derek's song "Chase The Devil" speak to the idea of taking control over evil and banishing it from the earth. The song calls out Satan, referring to him as a "man" and an "evilous" one at that. The singer declares that they will put on an "iron shirt" and use their strength to chase Satan out of this world. The repetition of this line emphasizes the singer's determination to rid the earth of evil.
The lines "Him haffi drop him fork and run/Him can't stand up to Jah Jah son" suggest that even Satan is no match for the power of Jah, or God. The singer is confident in their ability to defeat Satan, and even proposes sending him to outer space to find another race to bother. The final repetition of the refrain reinforces the idea that the singer will not rest until Satan is gone, and the world is free of his malevolent influence.
Overall, the song seems to be about the power of righteousness and the importance of standing up to evil. Its message is one of hope and faith in a better world, free from the clutches of Satan.
