We carry something suffer and you laugh out, that fi sweet you?
You fi make it better fi the youths, a that you need to
'Cause mama youth a bawl and she cyan buy a feeder
Natty evil, fresh water fi drink, yo, what's the reason?
Babylon, you wicked, mi say, Jah Jah ago beat you
Unuh no say, "Love", unuh say, "War", how we see it to?
Dem waan we kill we one another like we some disease to
Nuff people, throw 'way your Bibles, start read to
Mental food dem word yah weh Jah Jah a feed you

Fi the youths dem weh dem bash down in the dungeon
Dem kill the youths dem fi drugs dem and gun dem
And then dem send off a heap of police fi go hold dem
Mi say, Babylon, you full of power, munda ago stop
With the brimstone and fire dem weh Jah Jah ago drop
Wa' the youth dem fi take heroin and hold fi your mouth lock
And the best thing a the herbs, and dem no a legalize that
Dem a distribute some food and then you get all out of that
System a pressure we, can't pay your bill, you bought a slap
Mami haffi big up 'cause a cook the food and never shop
'Cause dem hate the youth when politician just a talk a lot

Bun bun bun bun bun bun bun bun bun bun bun bun
