Try and remember now just what has been done Enslavement, displacement of every nation And now to one nation Everyone hold their grudge Kinda makes me wonder 'bout which side I'm on Don't defend the white and I don't defend the black I defend truth and rights and all of that Work on situation, where I'm at Hold my position, never fall of track Nah, give up my faith!

Though Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my days Rasta courage Go against society, Rasta courage Babylon rage! I'n'I will strive until the end of my da-a-ays! Rasta courage Go against them, go against them Well, I nah give up no faith! Though Babylon rage I'n'I will strive until the end of my day-ay-ays Rasta courage, the end of my days Till the e-end Yo! Looking back now upon all of the evidence 400 years and what dem years have really done We talk of peace, but at the first sign of war Brethren ain't brethren and sistren ain't sistren no more Without forgiveness how will any war cease While this heathen rage, rastaman sitting at ease No one will move a muscle for some moral justice And with no justice, there'll be no peace!

Ayo, faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights Things will never be the same Old doors close, new doors opening The life we led in the past, we've got to rearrange People treat life as it is a game Work hard to change the people's mentality The way the world is going now, it's insanity Live the life you love and don't go on so greedy Help the children to grow up and things will change speedily with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights Hit the street and give a hand to Those you meet who need your speech to Lift their feet to rise and drag themselves from the mud Be discreet so you won't ever meet defeat For Jah will seat, we won't retreat And Babylon can't come out on top Faith without works that is death When you work, you breathe hard so I and I give thanks for every breath I only fear is Jah judgment Try your best to live upright so that you don't End up in hell with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy, and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights If a hawk can fly and show its love With songs of praise and giving thanks Along 395's polluted ten-lane highways And if a man like twice your age Can clean your house for minimum wage And still somehow greet life with a big smile on his face Then why can't we just show respect For all things with no neglect and realize That love it is the only way? Then why can't we accept the fact we're lucky We need to give back, we're foolish for not Humbling ourselves every day with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy, and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights
