Burn Nya burn down Babylon place

Oh burn Nya burn down Babylon place

Just now they come to realize it, somehow they had want to criticise
Black people get the worst yet them doh have no rights
Them ah do the dutty work yet you shove aside
Yo me start to burn them turf day and night
Rastaman nah nurse no pharecies nor scribes
Shouldn‘t dis the warriors pon tha east side
Watch them _ eh that shell like ah rice
Me nah like them profile neither them voice
Cut all them style them only lef you one choice
This is the hour where the wicked get smite
Pharaoh could ah train all him greatest knight
When the Bobo man pass through everything get right
Rasta them ah spite, say them blow us dynamite, oy
[CHORUS:]

Lick down the judge me go lick down the jury
