[Intro]
The road is rocky

[Verse 1]
The road is rocky, and the way seems steep
But trod along, Jah Jah people, we've got to reach
Ethiopian land is where I and I from
We've got to take a positive stand
To break down their evil devices
Evil man, where you gonna stand?

[Chorus]
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down

[Verse 2]
What was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Is now revealed to babe and suckling
Evil man, where you gonna stand
Don't you see Jah kingdom really, really stand
Gonna break down your evil devices
Babylon, fire at no people

[Chorus]
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
[Verse 3]
What was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Is now revealed to babe and suckling
Evil one, time to take a stand
Don't you see Jah kingdom really, really stand
Gonna break down your evil devices
Evil man, where you gonna stand?

[Outro]
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
Chant down Babylon kingdom, I-ya bingy chant it down
