Complaint

Let Jah be praised an wicked men scatter

Listen to Buju, an Arcangel

Love Rastafari

Oh yes, ask dem

If you do wrong they complain

Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same

What they want us to do?

Don't they know this is nothing new

Why won't they do what they want?

Let me do my thing

You should be thankful

Their lights of hopedom are still shining

Oh well

Shining

If you do wrong they complain

Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same

What they want us to do?

Don't they know this is nothing new?

Why won't they do what they want?

Let me do my thing

You should be thankful

Their lights of hope are still shining

Shining

Let Jah rise an di heathen scatter

Haffi give thanks an praises no matta

Even if di flame is getting hotta an hotta

Everybody shud a know I doh believe inna rumour

Children arise from yuh sleep an slumber

Nuh come yah suh fi bow, wi deh yah suh fi conquer

Strictly love why yuh envy yuh brother

Nuh mek dem re-arrange you in a different manner

If you do wrong they complain

Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same

What they want us to do?

Hear dat?

Don't they know this is nothing new?

Why won't they do what they want?

And let me do my thing

You should be thankful

Their lights of hopedom are still shining

Unnu hear dat?

Shining

Why shud I change to gain acceptance?

Cyaan tell a next man how fi wear him pants

Lift up di name of Jah in abundance

So every single ting we do in life wi get a sentence

But we won't be like a flea

Just like a how di more we see

An di less yuh hear we speak

My brother don't you be like a stubborn sheep, I say

Blessed are he when man shall revile you

And persecute you

Say all manner of evil against you falsely

For Jah sake

Rejoice I say and be exceedingly glad

For great is your reward

For so persecute they

The prophets before you and me

If you do wrong they complain

Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same

What they want us to do?

Don't they know this is nothing new?

Why won't they do what they want?

Let me do my thing

They should be thankful

Their lights of hope are still shining

Shining

Let Jah rise an di heathens scatter

Haffi give thanks an praises no matta

Even if di flame is getting hotta an hotta

Everybody shud a know I doh believe inna rumour

Children arise from yuh sleep an slumber

Nuh come yah suh fi bow, wi deh yah suh fi conquer

Strictly love why yuh envy yuh brother

Nuh mek dem re-arrange you in a different manner

If you do wrong they complain

Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same

What they want us to do?

Don't they know this is nothing new?

Why won't they do what they want?

Let me do my thing

They should be thankful

Their lights of hope are still shining

Shining

Wrong they complain

Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same
