Oo-oo-ooh, yea-ah. Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy-yoy-yoy!
|
Feel it in the one drop;
|
And we'll still find time to rap;
|
We're makin' the one stop,
|
The generation gap;
|
Now feel this drumbeat
|
As it beats within,
|
Playin' a riddim,
|
Resisting against the system, ooh-wee!
|
|
I know Jah's never let us down;
|
Pull your rights from wrong
|
(I know Jah would never let us down)
|
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
|
They made their world so hard (so hard):
|
Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting);
|
They made their world so hard (so hard):
|
Every day the people are dyin' (dying), yeah!
|
(It dread, dread) For hunger (dread, dread) and starvation
|
(dread, dread, dread, dread),
|
Lamentation (dread dread),
|
But read it in Revelation (dread, dread, dread, dread):
|
You'll find your redemption
|
And then you give us the teachings of His Majesty,
|
For we no want no devil philosophy;
|
A you fe give us the teachings of His Majesty,
|
A we no want no devil philosophy:
|
|
Feel it in the one drop;
|
And we still find time to rap;
|
We're making the one stop,
|
And we filling the gap:
|
So feel this drumbeat
|
As it beats within
|
Playing a riddim, uh!
|
Fighting against ism and skism,
|
|
Singing: I know Jah's never let us down;
|
Pull your rights from wrong:
|
I know Jah's never let us down.
|
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
|
They made their world so hard
|
Every day (we got to keep on fighting), every day;
|
They made their world so hard
|
Every day (the people are dying), eh!
