Gladiators - Duppy Conqueror

Yes, me friend, friend
Me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again

The bars could not hold me
Chains could not control me
They try to keep me down
But God keep me around

Yes, I've been accused
Wrongly abused now, oh
But through the power of the Most High
They got to turn me loose

Don't try to call me out
On the street, now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
Highest region!
If you a bull-bucker
Let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror

Yes, me friend, me friend
Me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again

(..)

Don't try to call me out
On the street, now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
Highest region!
If you a bull-bucker
Let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror

Yes, me friend, me friend
Me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again, hmm
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again

Don't try to shock
Don't make your friends them lock
For I will cut you down
And I will turn you right, now
I'm cryin' now

Yes, me friend, me friend
Me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again, hmm
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again
