Babylon Rule Dem Songtext

von Groundation

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 run 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 who trampled by the way side
Lord
Forgive them who trot upon the ocean
Lord forgive them for
All of dem a they don't know
They sit there robbing de
Poor
We shall stand upon the lies they told
Rocking the
Boat that they stole,
Remember Babylon rule them... Dread
Iyon Dread

Dem a payaka, want to live and be so free
Yeah, oh lord
Now if dem want to live, if dem want to live,
Oh now shelter we
Oh Father 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 dry
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
'pon the floor
Give us our justice and we will seek no
More
Remember Babylon rule dem... 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
