Can't Control Me

Yo, wha' happen to Babylon stars?
And dem a fight the youth dem with brute force
And dem a come with anti-crime task force
But a salvation mi love the most
I goin' chant dem a voice horse
Then, then, then

Then, then, then, then Babylon a plot and dem a plan
You know mi done overstand say dem can't control me
Can't control me
Dem all a tell mi lie and through the pressure dem apply
Dem still can't hold me
Still can't hold me
Dem a plot and dem a plan
You know mi done overstand say dem can't control me
Can't control me
Dem all a tell mi lie and through the pressure mi apply
Dem still can't hold me
Still can't hold me

Lift mi eyes up to the mountain, drink this water from the fountain
Well the blessing, it's so much mi keep counting
Babylon dem still haunting, Black man reverence keep chanting
Equal rights and justice the youths wanting
Yo, mi go tell mama earth 'cause that's really worth
The youth dem, well dem nah stop the planting
Yo, da one yah, well mi hail the holy I, Selassie I
Yo, well you know the youth dem farming

Babylon a plot and dem a plan
You know mi done overstand say dem can't control me
Can't control me
Dem all a tell mi lie and through the pressure dem apply
Dem still can't hold me
Still can't hold me
Dem a plot and dem a plan
You know mi done overstand say dem can't control me
Can't control me
Dem all a tell mi lie and through the pressure mi apply
Dem still can't hold me
Still can't hold me

Dem waan fi take mi joy, you know mi nah go make dem take it 'way
Nuh try that, mi nuh buy that, Jah know Selassie set it deh
There's no escape, you know dem can't get it 'way
Mi live it, it high, mi keep it all up deh
Mi firm, firm, heavens, you know dem can't get it 'way
Still mi a go burn dem from Saturday to Saturday
Nuh ask mi 'bout Joe, or ask mi weh Matty deh
Righteousness, you know mi got it deh

Yo, well dem a plot and dem a plan
Mi done overstand say dem can't control me
Can't control me
Dem all a tell mi lie and through the pressure mi apply
Dem still can't hold me
Still can't hold me
Dem a plot and dem a plan
You know mi done overstand say dem can't control me
Can't control me
Dem all a tell mi lie and through the pressure mi apply
Dem still can't hold me
Still can't hold me

Yo, keep your Sabbath holy
Rise up, black man, nuh bother gwan like you poli
Righteousness, Jah makes you comfy and holy
Babylon know 'bout it, but I and you, dem nah hold it
Yo, this is not a game and dem a flex like a goalie
All a watch your chain 'round your neck with all your Rollie
Yo, mi go see say that's the old law
Dem waan kill off the youth dem now
Lift dem with bare holy, holy
