An rastafari neva teach you fi live so

Disillusion, confusion, temptation, corruption
A deh so dem deh, a deh so dem de
We nuh eat whe dem a eat, we nuh sleep whe dem a sleep
Cause a deh so dem deh, a deh so dem deh
We nuh tink how dem a tink
An wi nuh link how dem a link
Cause a deh so dem deh, a deh so dem deh

A bare ba--y man mi hear sey come from dung deh
Bare sadamite mi hear sey vilate dung deh
Bare obeah man mi hear sey heng out dung deh
Bare informer buy out dung deh
Han mi di fire mek mi bun out dung deh
[Chorus]

Couldn't mamma earth dema try fi deprive ....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Full time now yu burn out di dutty vibe....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Dis mamma earth sey none cyann survive
