Babylon Rule Dem - Groundation/Don Carlos/Cedric Myton
Standing so I can see them beneath the morning sky
All those who seek to climb so high
To insure the river Jordan will not dry
All of the tears run out of the valley high
Oh a den Mesada I fear the War's out
Tell Father they've come
Oh tell Mother they've come
Lord forgive they for they have stamped on the ocean
Oh forgive them trampled by the way side
Oh forgive them trampled by the ocean
Lord forgive them
For all of dem a they don't know
They sit there robbing de poor
We stand upon the lies they told
They told
Rocking the boat that they stole
They stole
Remember Babylon rule them
Dread Iyon Dread
Dem a payaka want to live and be so free
Oh lord
Now if dem want to live
If dem want to live
Oh now shelter we
Oh Father they stole they stole
Another one another country poor
Oh another one another country poor
Well now the youth man say
Well now the Convenant say
Oh the youth man say
And the a government now they don't know
Now they don't see
Jah people don't want to believe them
No more they are deceive yes
No more while they sit in their illusion
Wondering how
Babylon rule dem rule them
So dem so dem man
So dem a masses have cried
And left them all out
And left them all out
To suffer inna dis a ghetto while dem trampled out
On my soul Brought to you dem Lepo paya
Dem Lepo paya Lepo paya gone a Ethiopia
Lepo paya dem Lepo paya
Lepo paya gone a Ethiopia
Standing
So I can see them beneath the morning sky
Seeking to climb the ladder so high
Oh the mighty Jordan will not run
So our tear drop from valley to the sky
Oh they don't know
They sit there punishing the poor
While all my brethren a lock up on the floor
Give us our justice and we will seek no more
Remember Babylon rule
Dread Iyon Dread
Dem a payaka
Want to live and be so free oh lord
Man if ya want to live
If ya want to live
Oh now shelter we
Oh dear Mother and Father come look at me
Flying so peacefully
Oh now de
Now de Father come run uponthe I-shed
Oh dear Sistren come upon the ocean
Oh my Idren run upon the I-shed
Oh dear Sistren run upon a dey don't know
Now they don't see
Jah people don't want to believe them
No more they are deceive yes
No more
While they sit in their illusion wondering how
Oh Babylon rule them rule them
