sittin deh in da city - with millions of people around me
thinkin about our so called civilized problems - erase our time and inspiration
all people keep on forgetting to think about - what divides right from wrong

we are conqueror - and we claim our rights back rise and shine
and we are bon fire - we are spreadin di vibe nah commit no crime
seh you are conqueror - and you enslave mankind for a long long time
and you are bon fire - with your machine and gun but we don't wanna go further

Chorus:

take time for your revolution - excuse no more it's time fi action
gunshottattatta a buss for to long - always remember united we strong
take time for your revolution - time a di warlord almost done
nuff a dem a fear di new generation - so we shout it again - united we strong

some politician that we nah need no longer longer - dem carry on and play good against bad man badman - and dem a play
long time too many years fi di most of mankind - blow dem house and mind - dem nah care fi di props a di younger
only care bout power get stronger - dem a get in position fi di final round
everybody want wealth and ressource fi di future

Chorus:

take time for your revolution - excuse no more it's time fi action
gunshottattatta a buss for to long - always remember united we strong
take time for your revolution - time a di warlord almost done
nuff a dem a fear di new generation - so we shout it again - united we strong

dem been killing lots of innocent children - dem a spend di million to drop dem bombs
dem send forces to kill for ressources - dem don't mind to worship who got what dem want
blow taliban inna afghanistan - nine eleven give dem right do done dem friends from a long
right now di same man claim back from dem land - civilians suffer while peace never come
in iraq dem build another vietnam - kill saddam fi di oil dem a want
tryin fi win but them can't understand - people don't want this yah bomboclaat babylon
dem no want no military control - wanna break free and make dem own rules
take responsibility for what dem gwaan do - don't wanna go to no american highschool

Chorus:

take time for your revolution - excuse no more it's time fi action
gunshottattatta a buss for to long - always remember united we strong
take time for your revolution - time a di warlord almost done
nuff a dem a fear di new generation - so we shout it again - united we strong

after a decade of war amd crime now people it is di time - to realize and follow di sign now
hear this rhyme - this is a song fi all mankind
to liberate them hearts and mind now - never stop trying
always be aware that we are conqueror - and we a bon fire
