Sizzla - Break Free (1999 version)

Holy Emmanuel I, Selassie I.
Well a lot to be said.
Age be protected, the sick to be cared for,
The hungry must be fed!
Well, tiers of government, men like spawns,
And Babylon me holla out what show you deh plans.

Break free from the slave,
Every prisoner's a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when me done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Them lift it up on Babylon again.
Break free from the slave,
Every black woman a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when me done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Hey, hey, bigger Judgement.

Them keep on grabbing,
How they've been stabbing,
Now the ghetto fire caan cool.
Well then, them keep on plotting,
Black progress you've been stopping,
So me take the ghetto youths them out a you school.
Babylon you keep on rushing to where I see nothing,
When you know sey you a fi me foot stool.
Babylon you're always mocking,
This a Zion high trodding,
Stop take the ghetto youths them fi fool.
See them deh eh, 'bout see slave they stop chill,
'Pon Babylon plantation a you a go get kill.
Me sey gwaan a Africa,
'Cause mount Zion haffe build,
Every tribal man come utilise your skill.
Give I strength, give I the power,
Unnuh fi give me all your will.
Give I the plough and the mashett,
Mek me go clean up the earth.
Food haffi plant, but Jack belly nah go fill,
Them fight gainst the youths,
Him and him brethren name Jill.
Well Judgement!

Break free from the slave,
Every ghetto youth's a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when me done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Them lift it up on Babylon again, yo.
Break free from the slave,
Every prisoner's a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when me done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Them lift it up on Babylon again.

Well you're always in pain, more and more,
Tell me what's your name on your slave master door.
Today you complain, tomorrow you no sure,
And then you run go wipe up blacker master floor.
I see you in the morning,
Rushing out and through your door,
Nuh Babylon bus unnuh deh hussle and board.
Just know the human rights,
So make your youths them secure.
Black people so sweet,
Nuh make Babylon plaster unnuh like sore.

Break free from the slave,
Every ghetto youth's a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when me done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Them lift it up on Babylon again.
Break free from the slave,
Every black woman a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when we done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Them lift it up on Babylon again.

Where do you go from here your response,
And if you give me no joy, you better hold your distance.
Me tell the ghetto youth the best thing is self-reliance.
Oh yeh! Live for yourself, that is significant.
Well Babylon, me nuh fool fi make you run come conquer,
Yes you know, these ghetto youths,
Them well you could not pamper.
Tell them the donkey haffi Christ a mule you fi hamper,
What a brain solver yah 'pon Nebuchadnezzar.
Babylon take the mass of the land, giving the people them butter,
Sey them a top class and a brand us as the nigger.
Sey them a high society and we a small settler.
Well thunder, lightning 'pon crevice and corner.
Well Judgement!

Break free from the slave,
Every ghetto youth's a come,
Ethiopia's last Judgement.
Babylon turn ashes when me done,
Tell them sey a greater fun,
Them lift it up on Babylon again.
