Dem try fi hold hold wha dem can't conquer
|
Rastaman no mix up with no vagavanga
|
[repeat]
|
They want to condemn the innocent
|
For crimes which we did not committ
|
They want to get good people mix up
|
In their bag of tricks
|
|
But water and oil can't mix
|
Water and oil don't mix
|
[repeat]
|
|
Say dem try fi hold hold wha dem can't conquer
|
Rastaman no mix up with no vagavanga
|
[repeat]
|
|
Hear this! naah go like the son if you no like the father
|
True we manifest under the same order
|
Cock your ears and listen me want you hear ya part ya
|
But first come in papa Ziggy as the eldest brother
|
Yes I hear the lies they've told
|
Dem says Rasta did this and this
|
What is the politican role
|
Is it to create conflicts
|
|
But water and oil can't mix
|
Water and oil don't mix
|
[repeat]
|
|
Jah who I praise break your silence
|
Now that the wicked is accusing
|
Attacking for no reason
|
All we did was pray for them
|
Now the way things happen fast
|
Some things me naah go member
|
But the day did cool cool and collective lya
|
Nest thing me know some unwanted visitors
|
Some devil worshipping Rasta hating cold-blooded murdera
|
Never get wha dem expect dem expect lamb fi slaughter
|
|
Hear this! This is Ragamuffin and him hitting harder
|
We get up from weh we sit down to a strategic corner
|
Me and the bwoy dem eye mek four me mek a nervous swallow
|
Prip around from left to right me look pon all me brother
|
Hold me head to the sky and make a final prayer
|
Zoom! zoom! And everything take cover
|
Look how fast lightning rod back out in all a dem face
|
Quick! Me back out me no member wha it name
|
Them never know the youth them would not lose them faith
|
Through the grace of the Father everything set straight
|
|
But water and oil can't mix
|
Water and oil don't mix
|
[repeat]
