Up to di time
You know it's Jah Cure and Vybz Kartel

Cause of freedom is di cause of selassie I

No man is free who's not master of himself
So nuh be a slave to vanity and wealth

Diamond and Gold like glitter eye
But I've been told a bit of lies
For that I've been so long victimised

I man behold wit' my two eyes (wha?)
Di truth Babylon nuh try deny
Still Rastafari still provide for I
(provide for I, 'cause we nah Peter weh deny)
Still for all never leave our side
(Never) let di wicked come devour

Jah never leave us out there

Wha' dem believe?)
