(Intro) Time fi wake up, time fi realize War no meck no sense and wi still a fight Down pressers no waan fi si wi a rise
(Chorus) Eyes open but wi sleeping Wi crying out tears fi a reason Stand up for what you believe in Babylon use and abuse wid the system But no longer will I be apart of this No longer will I get trap by yo tricks No longer will I, mi no waan yo riches Equal rights and justice yea
(Verse 1) Eye haffi wake up Mind haffi make up Lightening, thunder and the earth quakes nuff Babylon haffi get a shake up Evilous things they do Mi waan to aware of
So many innocent life get mislead Whole heap a blood bleed because a grieve And a nuff youth still cyaa write and read Who speak the truth yo sell dem out fi rice and peas Tell mi why yo waan kill the profits Who a feed the youths mind from garbage Your false knowledge, no longer will I have it Gwaan fi yo gun, gwaan fi yo gadgets
Mi prefer dead before mi sell mi soul Prefer dead before you take control Rather dead fi mi people Before mi meck yo corrupt dem wid evil
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2) Dem a try bring man a ground To the hills man a run No yo cyaa follow mi steps Yo get caught up inna technology And cyaa survive out inna wilderness Yo only know the easy way But mi learn the hard way And all who waan know the truth yo naw go find it Inna one day Stop from being lazy Break free from mental slavery Set some example fi the baby A dem a the feature J crazy
Mi prefer dead before mi sell mi soul Prefer dead before you take control Rather dead fi mi people Before mi meck yo corrupt dem wid evil
