Testo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Selassie is the almighty I
Hey, gimme more love
Mmm, hey yo, hey yo
Aye, oh
My meditation going like a dove
Hey, oh
Most of all they keep failing
To fulfill the black people words, hey
King Selassie I me hailin'
And a dem go trouble poor people first
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Red, Babylon a get red
Anytime now, the prisoners dem a go escape
Sebasta bless, a go bless
Anytime now, police dem a go get a red
Red, government a get red
Anytime now, Babylon you must get a red
Nuff country man, nuff a dem run go shed
Oh, I rather to be with a people a lead
Give 'em a daily strength and showing dem a daily need
And I rather to see more love than grieve
That's the only way the ghetto youths a go achieve
And I rather to be with a people indeed
Babylon system only come yah so fi deceive
I rather to listen and afterwards receive
Dem a go cut the woman breast and bust the man dem seed
Blessed or perish, long time me see it
Black people pack up and head inna the East
Tell the Indian say fi go look fi dem chief
Tell the white man for no Europe go hide and seek
Hey, Rastaman no got no secret fi keep
There will be a weeping and a wailing and a gnashing of teeth
Cast him out a national, don't go a reap
Come out inna the clear behind wall dem a peep
Nothing fi the white man, black man nah do it
Black woman stop sweep the white woman street
The ghetto youth go study Babylon technique
A so me see say, Vattigan get defeat
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Red, Babylon a get red
Anytime now, yo, red a fire deh go bless
Stop treat people like slave
Anytime now, the prisoners dem a go escape
Too long dem deh in deh a bake
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Man haffi go repatriate
Dem make dem satellite and dem launch it a space
Mash up the ozone layer, Babylon a fake
Sun a burn redder and a strip dem face
Coulda dem look like an oil, cool away deh bake
Watch make the Rastaman deal with dem case
Ask dem this question before it too late
Babylon, a why you dump your toxic waste?
You no see say dat you make a big mistake?
Now tell me, who end up like bait
Dem hold down black people fi send white people through fi gate
Oh, Rastaman nah hesitate
Revolution 'cause we must repatriate
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Red, the government a get red
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Dem save already and still waan enslave
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
And Mr. Babylon, you nah save
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Because the prisoners dem a go escape
The whole of dem a diss the ancient of days
God inna the Arctic Ocean gone fire dem laze
Fi make the iceberg, fi return the ice age
The West a go sink when the water table raise
Babylon, you stink and you waan bathe
You no bother think the youth a tell you this brave
I black mother nah be your maid
What me black father a give me waan get paid
Oh, Babylon, so much a we you come and enslave
I build the building, the road dem we pave
See dem now, see dem now, see dem now
From you diss, the whole of judgement you made
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Red, the government a get red
Anytime now, the prisoners dem a go escape
Sebasta bless, a go bless
Anytime now, police dem a go get a red
Red, government a get red
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Dem save already and still waan enslave
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
And Mr. Babylon, you nah save
Anytime now, Babylon dem a go get a red
Because the prisoners dem a go escape
