Plead my cause Jah Rastafari
Strives others try, me tell you
Fight against those that fight against I
Take up thy shield n' buckler stand up for thy name
Oh, well when
They act as if they don't got no sense
And I know dem unda false pretense
Talk as if dem ah yuh closest friends
When dem ah yuh enemy and come ah try bridge yuh current
Slanderin' and bad influence
Scandal yuh name when dem cyaan get yuh strength
Hypocrite and traitor di whole ah dem
And put pon top ah dat a bad mind
Fill all dem heart and dem ah gwaan innocent
Rastafari is my shield and defense
So when tings bruk lose, seh: "Ah Bigga Judgement!"
Backstabbers and vampires dem send
To suck my blood and Jah children
Burn out di wicked and trod ah Mt. Zion
Rigged and rugged, and me tuff like iron
Burn out di wicked and trod ah Mt. Zion
Babylon, yuh riches cyaan stray mi Lion
Inna mi turban and robe
Rastafari know me ready fi di road
Sizzla Kalonji dash 'way di burden alone
Come clean, come good, mi seh come and get yuh purge
Aw! Gimme more nutt'n less
Lead da people wid righteousness, yaw!
Sizzla Kalonji bless
Di voice of Rastafari break da seed that's in the forest
Know and share don't you forget
Me come fi trod Rastafari and that's wha' meant
Burn out di wicked and trod ah Mt. Zion
