Verse 1: I love to see my people living in love I hate to see them fighting and swimming in blood Nuff neglect the farming the scorning in the mud Yet they want to be the first to reap the fruit as it bud...OHHH! They fill the earth with prison church and whore house Love the rum bar yet them hate the pure house Dem take the microchip and now a wrath a pour out Less food more drought and more mouth... ohhh
Chorus: Rasta tell dem all the while Stop war and go till the soil Stop fighting for land and oil Fi di coil so many go defile Slave master spit inna dem face dem tek dat wit a smile Di banks of the nile so mild and so fertile acres more than a zillion mile People acting vile pick up cannibal style wah devour mama papa and child... ohh
