Caan Hold Us Down
This one is real (yoo)!
(Yoo) a Daddy Rings, Gentleman and a Barrington Levy

Yeah, wish it about never watch we 'round the clock
Wondering when we gonna launch an attack
Whoah, whoah, whoah, yeah, yeah, yeah

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown (wearing a frown)

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown (wearing a frown)

I've been chanting Jah powers from morning
Truths and rights I man keep performing
I hear the Babylon bell how it alarming
Dem see a righteous ghetto youth and ready fi swarm him
Dem shoulda overstand the power whe Jah storm bring (oh yes)
When it blow the whole a dem haffi go calm king
Long time we did a issue 'bout the warning
We ago hold Lucifer and disarm him
Hey Barrington, wha gwaan yu know?
I know, Jah will always be there (never leave my side, you know)
And I know, He is everywhere (it will make sense fi heart)
Without Jah, where would I be?
'Cause He is the one for me, you see

No powers gonna hold us down (noo)
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound (pagan sound)

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
Ey, a what at them man, Daddy Rings..

Dem think we fool but we tell dem seh we not
Caan make no wolf come invate the flag
Nuh get caught inna no booby trap
I and I a royal Natty Dreadlock

Well as the sun shine and the wind blow
(That's how I know, that's how I know)
I take a look through, my window
(That's how I know, that's how I know)
If you nuh know the truth yourself, you are deceiving
Trumpet a sound and I man is leaving
Higher ground that is where I am going
Too bless to stress, can't stop me from growing
No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown (wearing a frown)

Hey, sing it out Barrington Levy!
I know, Jah will always be there (always and forever)
And I know, He is everywhere (everywhere)
Without Jah, where would I be?
'Cause He is the one, for me, you see

No powers gonna hold us down (oh no)
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down (oh no)
Not even dem pagan sound

No powers gonna hold us down (oh no)
You never see I wearing a frown
No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound (pagan sound)
