[Intro]
Well then
Words of righteousness do us so much
Nuff have dem wealth but yet no purpose
Well the Bing ha fire bun all poor and rich
Them neva know say it woulda come down to this
[Chorus]
Babylon give dem ah ride fi they money
Get dem funny
And then brainwash dem pon dem western journey
Babylon give dem ah ride fi they money
Get dem funny
And then brainwash dem pon dem western journey
[Verse 1]
We tell dem say, this redder than red
The way how dis red ah bear blood ah run red
Go tell dem revolution ah swing over dem head
Fi all vampire this ya one ya ah yuh peg
Marcus Garvey did done come say
Emanuel set the livety it ah lick you like sledge
You want principle cuz King Selassie ah the head
And Emperor Selassie have the vision and the heads
Me see you and the harlot lie down inna bed
Sharin defilements all with the dead
The youths dem worth more than money and bread
Hail Empress Omega tell dem glory is to spread
We jus come bout ya fi slew pagan dead
[Chorus]
Babylon give you ah ride fi the money

Watch out mek we buss dem head like bottle
Watch the bad card inna the deck whey you ah shuffle
We wah go ah we yard leggo the chain and shackle

You are the one to order, instead dime and nickle

Hey, you black woman just know yourself inna the puzzle
Nah come do nuttin wrong nah come 'round ya come hustle
And not every this and that you must mek drop inna yuh middle
