Culture - Jah Rastafari

Too long in our little ghetto
Wrong's been going on, let's protest
Children of Israel who really, love rights

For Jah set I and I as a watchman
Around Babylonian walls
Oh, oh, children of Israel

I and I and I should never hold I peace
While wrong is going on, day or night

Man, bust down Babylon gates
I said prepare ye the way
Prepare ye the way for Jah people
Fight down war and crime
Fight down war and crime
Fight down war and crime
And build up righteousness

Hear me now, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Preserve I people, come on
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah, Jah Rastafari, preserve I people, eh

(..)
Put crime away, put crime away, away

Jah set I and I still as a watchman
Around Babylonian walls
Yes, children of Israel

I and I and I should never, never hold I peace
While we are penalized, day and night

We should chant down Babylon's door
I said prepare ye the way
Prepare ye the way for Jah people
Fight down war and crime
Fight down war and crime
Fight down war and crime
And build up righteousness

Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari, preserve I people, yes Jah
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari, preserve I people, righteous name

Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari, preserve I people..
