Lyrics

Yeah we seh to all govament this is repatriation yeah
Step dung mystery Babylon yeah I and I govan di yute enuh
Hand over yuh know
Repatriation, nuh bodda play like yuh deaf now
What does black people made of, made of?
African tradition I tell you straight up, straight up
So long that they had take us
Inna dis western hemisphere and couldn't break us, Pharaoh
What does black people made of, made of?
Truths and rights I tell you straight up, straight up
So long that they had take us
But now black people better wake up, oye
Burn I a burn dung Babylon place
Inna dem high and low place
Wickedness me deh go chase
A burn I a burn dung Babylon place
Dem a interrogate
Waan mi herb fi keep space
Just now they come to realize
Somehow they had want to criticise
Black people get the worst yet them doh have no rights
Them a do di dutty work yet you shub aside
Yow me start to burn them turf day and night
Rastaman nuh nurse nuh Pharisees nor Scribes
Shouldn't diss di warriors from the east side
Watch dem iconise di head and shell like a rice
Me nuh love dem profile, neidah dem voice
Watch all dem style dem only lef you one choice
Dis is di hour where di wicked get smite
Pharaoh could a train all him greatest knight
Wen di Bobo man pass tru, everyting get wipe
Rasta dem a smite, suh dem blow as dandimite, oye
Burn I a burn down Babylon place
Inna dem high and low place
Wickedness wi deh go chase
Burn I a burn down Vatican place
Dem a interrogate weh di marijuana keep space
Burn I a burn dung Babylon place
Inna dem high and low place
Wickedness me a go chase
Burn I a burn down Babylon place
Whoa-oh, aye
From in dah beginning, me a bun dem yah fyah
Pharaoh him, a galang lakka him clever
Dem come tek di people out of Africa
Oh yes, I and I still remember
Rastafari say, set free every prisoner
Mi put on mi sword, mi put on mi rifle, mi put on mi dagger
Put on mi robe, mi put on mi turban, mi guh lace up mi sandals
Lick dung di judge, mi guh lick dung di jury and lick dung di lawyer
Lick dung di gova general, lick dung di prime minister
Lick dung di politician, lick dung di police, lick dung di soldier
So many years black people dem deh yah
Babylon, watch yuh shackles and yuh chain asunder
A burn I a burn down Babylon place
Inna dem high and low place
Wickedness black man a chase
Burn I a burn dung Vatican place
Dem false, fictitious and fake, hey
Burn I a burn down Babylon place
Inna dem high and low place
Wickedness me deh go chase
Caz burn I a burn down Babylon place
Yow dem try look inna mi face, yow
Wen before black people wake up, wake up
Vatican concrete city break up, break up
So long that they had take us
Inna this western hemisphere and couldn't break us, oye
Dem run di east, dem run di north, dem seh dem run di south
Seh yuh cyaan test dem anytime a shoot-out
Mister Wicked Rage, seh him a run di route
Seh him will, buss up yuh head and him will, inna yuh mouth
Oye, yuh nuh see seh wicked yutes dem waan dead out?
And a leave di black woman dem weh well waan spread out
Dem nah produce nuh life, well me see seh dat a joke
Doh mek dem come near, not even yuh house
Doh mek dem touch your tings, neidah as want
Membah seh yuh
