INTRO.
Man dem fi hear me out
Everything moving fast it'll wear me out
So ma puff spliff n drink beer and stout
Man dem na fi wear me out, na fi wear me out
And I Swear, Babylon dem a fear me clout
Everything in the news you ‘a hear about
Jesse Jaga ‘a air it out
Man never fear nothing,
Raised by the streets me na wear nothing
(Blackout, Blackout)
The youth never hear nothing
Babylon Empire never share nothing,
Musicians are beer popping, we near rotten
Clergy na swear nothing
The only Sound in the air is tear dropping
Electric out is near shocking
But hear something, piercing and ear popping
Soul Rebel, My music is chair rocking
Revolutionary Air force air dropping
Apocalypse, vocals so clear cutting
No bloodshed flow and clear spotting
I never buckle to the pressure from my peer fucking
(Game time)
No Truth and No Dare nothing
Fear Nothing, Don't fear my hair locking
Red Gangsta, High from the air puffing
Dread Rasta, Man never fear nothing
And Jah never moved by mere talking
His universal power be spear blocking
Even if Babylon gun air cocking
This means war fanfare stopping
Every man got a right to compare nothing
This man never fear nothing
On the way to Calvary, never fearing the opposing power he,
Jah Rastafari, Revolutionary Soldier on the hourly
No home and no family, the whole world living in Vanity
Jah Rastafari, Till Babylon fall from Calamity
Haile Selassie, Hear me I've
Been Seeking your face and daily I'm
Conquering Babylon Israeli style,
Revolutionary soldier moving steady I and Steady I
Hear me I've
Been Seeking your face and daily I'm
Conquering Babylon Israeli style,
Revolutionary soldier moving steady I and Steady I
These streets love nobody
Everything full of shit and no potty,
Smoke down I and I eye so dutty
Jaga fear no man, fear no duppy
These streets love nobody
Revolution on CD get your own copy
Thanksgiving in the ghetto, nigga no turkey
No teddy bear everything so Chucky
No love politicians dem go doggy
All of them are so lucky, so the flow dutty,
Get smashed pon the wall like snow hockey
They spun backwards like a disco jockey
Master on high, Jah Rastafari
Light us to the sky, we airey and fly
.
On the way to Calvary, never fearing the opposing power he,
Jah Rastafari, Revolutionary Soldier on the hourly
No home and no family, the world living in Vanity
Jah Rastafari, Till Babylon fall from Calamity
Haile Selassie, Hear me I've
Been Seeking your face and daily I'm
Conquering Babylon Israeli style,
Revolutionary soldier moving steady I

Light us to the sky, we airey and fly
God guides us to heaven, and we feel free and weightless
