Lyrics

[INTRO]
Wah gwaan, listen up, let the message spread
'Bout the struggles we face, and the trials we've been fed
Systematic oppression, a never-ending test
But we won't give up, we won't rest

[VERSE 1]
Big up the everyday people, we nuh have equal rights
The struggle is real, inna de day or night
Babylon must burn! Welcome the king of paradise
The spirit of resistance, all de youths accept de mission
Evil spirits must fi listen, chalice burn Inna de kitchen
With unity and love, but we must accept the price.

[CHORUS]
2 shot, BAAM, and de murderer escape
Haffi stay ina de house, de people dem afraid
Police come fi set killer in up on di jail
We all know Babylon, we must give jah de praise

[VERSE 2]
Jah know, the system's broken, it's a never-ending fight
But we won't give up, we'll rise up, shine with all our might
From the streets to the hills, the message will be told
Of a world where justice reigns, and love never grows cold
Remember what we been told, remember de words tracing back from the old
Long time ago de youths and dem was sold to de same people now who have we ina hold
The people will unite, stand strong and tall
With king Selassie's spirit, we'll conquer them all
The people will unite, stand strong and tall
With king Selassie's spirit, we'll conquer them all

[CHORUS]
2 shot, BAAM, and de murderer escape
Haffi stay ina de house, de people dem afraid
Police come fi set killer in up on di jail
We all know Babylon, we must give jah de praise

[BRIDGE]
Rise up, let the voices be heard
Of the oppressed, the marginalized, the blurred
We'll take a stand, for what is right
For equality, justice, and the light

[CHORUS]
2 shot, BAAM, and de murderer escape
Haffi stay ina de house, de people dem afraid
Police come fi set killer in up on di jail
We all know Babylon, we must give jah de praise

[OUTRO]
So let the message spread, let it echo far and wide
Of a world where love and unity reside
Big up the everyday people, we nuh have equal might
We'll rise up, shine with jah light.
