Eh
Lawd a mercy
Lawd of his mercy
(Hear mi now)
Them bring out the lion in me
Them haffi hear me roar
Nah bow down to no Babylon law
Them can't employ me
Them can't destroy me
Solid as a rock
When they try to hold me back
Free up your mind
From mental slavery
Only way you know yourself
Is know it completely
You've got to live righteous
It's hard 'cause they spite us
Babylon ah trick we
And ah try to fight us

But we refuse to be

New paths we keep making
Above the land its ground breaking
Now watch us fly
Over the hills and the valleys
Reach for the sky

And don't let them steal your glory
That's why we push ourselves
Making sure we write a better story
