Whoa nana na

[Chorus]
I need a Gideon boot and a khaki suit
Fi stand out inna Babylon and represent the truth
Me nah go stay a road, and see bad things, keep mi mouth pon mute
I got a strong Reggae beat with a mic inna mi hand
Fi lead out the youths dem outta destruction
And tell the people they should know...right from wrong

[Verse 1]
We got the strength, we got the power...
To help each other up the lander
Don't be selfish to help your brothers today
We can make it if we try
Just remember to hold your head high
It doesn't make sense when we fuss and fight

[Chorus]
I need a Gideon boot and a khaki suit
Fi stand out inna Babylon and defend the truth
Me nah go sit aside, and watch Babylon, and keep mi mouth pon mute
I've got a strong Reggae beat with a mic inna mi hand
Fi lead out the youths dem outta destruction
And let the people know...right from wrong
[Hook]
How you believe in love...
Will get Jah blessing from above

How you believe in love...
Will get Jah blessing from above
How you believe in love

Calling all the leaders of the world today

Got to let the people know...the right from the wrong

Show a little love in your heart
And let the people know there's more to life, mhm hm

[Chorus]
I need a Gideon boot and a khaki suit

And let the people know...right from wrong
