For it has been said that when either
A man or women vow the vow of Nazarite
Numbers 6:2; 1 Samuel 1:11

No scissors nor razor shall be upon his head
Numbers 6:5; Judges 13:5; Judg. 16:17; 1 Samuel 1:11

As this has been said by the King of Kings, Lord of lords
1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 17:14

Our Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Jah Rastafari!
Psalm 68:4


Babylon a weep, weep on..
Babylon a weep, weep on..

Rasta a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
I, I, I, I a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon

Babylon a weep, weep on.. Jah!
Babylon a weep, weep on..

Rasta a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Bongo Far I a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Revelation 18:21


The days of lice head and chill
Of foot amongst children (fire!) is over
And education and British youth
Now in college, taking over. (welcome)
Neither this is the time when children
And fathers listening most to grand massa (firebun!)
Weh we a go do?!

Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Freedom fighters a go tear down Babylon
Revolutionaries a go tear down Babylon

R-A-S-T-A, Rasta, which means
Righteous African Stands Tall Alone, forever
And the king that sits not upon a golden throne
Is eating after the pig and sucking off his bone
Boy, you no understand!

The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Fe truth and rights we a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon.


We no sleeping out again and you have to
Respect each and every crocus bag. (move up now)
And the time is coming shortly
When we shall use the marijuana and thatch our palace
(Swear it, my God, you nuh hear!)
Rasta a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
Ayashanti a go tear down Babylon
The Rasta a go tear down Babylon
