Yeah man this is Horace Sleepy Andy
Alongside Obajah
Forward ever backward never
Mr Andy tell them star
Them tell a cow jumped over moon
And the dish run away with the spoon
They didn't tell I
Repatriation soon
I tell you people yes it's true
Oh I tell you yes it's true
Them didn't tell I
Jah Jah is for I and I
Jah Rastafari
Babylon no have no choice
Them can't tell no more lies
Di snake biting its tail
Them keep di world in di darkside
How many refugees a go
Cross di borderline
Politricks them a thief
Them never go a jail tell me why
How many war and take over
Them a still organise
Through music i will keep on
Fighting for truth and rights
In dis time know your position
Let's see Jah light
We hail up di King of Kings
Emperor Selassie I
When the almighty one
Set foot on this earth
It a go dread it a go dread
Everyone will be for themselves
Sinners false prophets
Oh all of them a gonna feel it
I tell you people yes it's true
Oh I tell you yes it's true
Them didn't tell I
Jah Jah is for I and I
Rasta forever yo
What future is takin shape
Fi dis generation
Them haffi rise knowing
What has already been done
Knowledge a weapon
Only righteousness exalt di nation
Jah man on a mission
Led by di Conquering Lion
Learning from di kushites
And di ancient civilisation
Keep di fire blazing
Pon di system of destruction
Di new world order
A real poison for everyone
So repatriation
Fi a pure emancipation
Them tell a cow jumped over moon
And the dish run away with the spoon
They didn't tell I
Repatriation soon
I tell you people yes it's true
Oh I tell you yes it's true
Them didn't tell I
Jah Jah is for I and I

You're hanging your hat where your hands can't reach it
You're hanging your hat where your hands can't reach it
You killed the goose that lays the golden egg
Then you wanna walk around and you start to beg
Cause you bite the hand that feed you
Bite the hand that lead you
Bite the hand that lead you what a shame
What a shame
I say you run a run a come with your gravalicious self
You're grabbing and you're robbing everything off the shelves
You're robbing and you're robing even robbing yourself
You're trying to bite the hand that brought you in this town
I know that Jah Jah did not have this in his plan
But you bite the hand that feed you
You're grabbing and you're robbing everything off the shelves
You're robbing and you're robing even robbing yourself
Cause you bite the hand that feed you
Bite the hand that lead you
Bite the hand that feed you in this time
What a shame
You're hanging your hat where your hands can't reach it
Hanging your hat where your hands can't reach it
You're trying to bite the hand that brought you in this town
I know that Jah Jah did not have this in his plan
You're grabbing and you're robbing everything off the shelves
You're robbing and you're robbing even robing yourself
Cause you bite the hand that feed you
Bite the hand that lead you
Bite the hand that lead you
Bite the hand that feed you in this time

No it's not easy
Living in the heart of the city
So much crying and poverty
As we're trodding through creation
We're facing tribulation
We hold on strong to Jahovia
As we cross these borders now
I tell the young generation
Them better get an education
Cause it's not easy for the Rastaman
To survive inna Babylon
Just to survive yeah
Every day we feel the pressure
The government they have the power now
But we've got to fight the struggle
Hey my people what we gonna do
One some have an education
They can't even find a hustling
And if they even get a job
Then the taxman is coming in to rob
Come to rob now yeah
No it's not easy now now
So we see it's getting harder
Now them locking down the borders
There's no love in the city
And the struggle it's not easy
I tell the young generation now
Them got to get an education
Cause it's not easy for the Rastaman
To survive inna Babylon
Just to survive yeah
War and violence is all I see
On the lane and on the streets
Some will end up in a prison
And their mama keeps on crying
And I we're trodding to creation
We know we face this tribulation
We hold on strong to Jahovia
As we cross these borders now
You know it's not easy
In the city now yeah
Every day we feel the pressure
The government them have the power now
We've got to fight the struggle
Hey my people what we gonna do
I tell the young generation
Them better get an education now
Cause it's not easy for the Rastaman
To survive inna Babylon
