Lyrics

Jah know
Yuh see it Iyah
Look deh Prince
Bun a folly
Bare slackness dem involve in
Nuff a dem sin dissolving
Yeah we bun all false teacher and false preacher yuh seet?
Prince come seh a word or a ting
(Good Lord)
Let it go
If you set my people free
We could open up their minds
Look and you can see there is much joy to find
(Hear weh mi do wid di man nuh, cho)
If you set my people free
We could open up their minds
(Bare slackness dem support)
Look and you will see we can't waste no more time, good Lord
(Yow, listen, aye)
Lead di people in di righteous way
(Lead dem in di righteous way)
We nuh inna dem hanky panky and we bun dem foreplay
Dah conscious way
(Got to keep them in the conscious way)
Just stop from lead dem astray
Bare cock and bull mi see di wul a dem full a
Don't got no heart fi di people weh deh suffah
And dem dutty roots a weh dem waan wi fi fallah
Ignoring di cries wen dem hear di yutes a holla
Buckle up wi belt and wi a guh straighten up wi collah
Cyaan spray wi heavens, no dem cud a neva
Babylon dem surprise fi see di truth weh wi a utter
Praise ye Jah, goodness cyaan devour
Ketch e power, aye
Good Lord
All these years of manipulation
Taking a strain on our nation, yeah
All this time inna degradation
Has got to sing the song special
The children are dying (Children are dying)
And our mothers are crying (Our mothers are crying)
There ain't no food to eat
Gunfire in the street, yeah
Yow, me see all some looter
Di bugger dem a mek
Their purpose here really get me upset
Tell dem fi gwaan walk
Pon wi endz dem cyaan step
Dem promise me betta, yet a worse mi get
Well dem only come yah so wid dem evil concept
If you in di devil toys you will be stop wi brother breath
My people be wise nuh mek dem sink yuh inna mess
Bun Babylon widout regret, oh
If you set my people free
We could open up their minds
Look and you will see there is much joy to find
(Leave di people lives)
Set my people free
We could open up their minds
Look and you will see we can't waste no more time
(Set my people free)
Aye, see di people in di righteous way
We nuh inna dem hanky panky and we bun dem foreplay
Dah conscious way
(You got to stay, got to stay)
I seh do nuh bodda lead dem astray
Babylon wah mek a we, you a try fi provoke?
Yuh see di life we live and yet yuh tek it for a joke
Bare slackness yuh gwaan wid, love dem promote
Yuh neva see fyah widout smoke
Babylon yuh time cut shorter dan rope
Tek weh everyting we got and only leave us wid hope
Think seh yuh innocent wen yuh a rock inna di boat
Babylon, nuh bodda cut nuh more throat
(Good Lord)
Now it seems the world has realised their lies
Babylonian there is no place to run nor hide, good Lord
You see you gained the world (To gain the world)
And then lose your soul (And you lost your own soul)
Now what you gonna do?
Now di yute dem a get out of control
Lead di people in di righteous way
(Lead dem in di righteous way)
We nuh inna yuh hanky panky and we bun yuh foreplay
Dah conscious way
(Got to be the conscious way)
Listen weh di Turbulence a say
Bare cock and bull mi see di wul a dem full a
Don't got no heart fi di people weh deh suffah
And dem dutty roots a weh dem waan wi fi fallah
Ignoring di cries wen dem hear di yutes a holla
Buckle up wi belt and wi a guh straighten up wi collah
Cyaan spray wi heavens, no dem cud a neva
Babylon dem surprise fi see di truth weh wi a utter
Praise ye Jah, goodness cyaan devour
