How come you alone waan __ the earth
From Mount Zion I ah life Rasta preserve
Babylon don't go round no curve
Through we treat a situation pagan waan go swerve
More me bun the fire more the people get hurt
Some boy jus through the money them utter any word
Just we full the belly jus we full the purse
Babylon you silly Babylon you curse
See say that the wicked man can't surf
Righteousness, the ghetto youths dem merge
Babylon must bow and kiss the dirt
Dem nah love Rastaman, much less we work
The west minister law ah go get burst
Rastafari principle, yo ah it govern the earth

Hail King Selassie I, the first
