Let Jah be praised and the wicked man scatter.
Listen to Buju! And the archangels.

Love Rastafari..
Oh yes, ask dem!

If you do wrong they complain,
Even if you call the Father's name,
It's the same, what they want us to do,
Don't they know this is nothing new.
Why won't they do what they want,
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful,
There's lights of hope still shining.

If you do wrong they complain,
Even if you call the Father's name,
It's the same, what they want us to do,
Don't they know this is nothing new.
Why won't they do what they want,
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful,
There's lights of hope still shining.

Let Jah rise and the heathen scatter,
Have to give thanks and praises no matter.
Even if the flames is getting hotter and hotter,
Everyone should know I don't believe in rumour.
Children arise from your sleep and slumber,
Don't come to bow, come to conquer.
Strictly love, why you envy your brother?
Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner.

If you do wrong they complain,
Even if you call the Father's name,
It's the same, what they want us to do,
Don't they know this is nothing new.
Why won't they do what they want,
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful,
There's lights of hope still shining.

Why should I change to gain acceptance?
Can't tell a next man how to wear his pants.
Lift up the name of Jah in abundance,
Every single thing we do, we are liable to get a sentence.
But we won't be like a flea,
Just like how the more we see, the less you hear we speak.
My brother don't you be like a stubborn sheep, blessed.

Blessed are he when man shall revile you,
And persecute you, say all manner of evil,
Against you falsely, for Jah sake.
Rejoice I say and be exceedingly glad,
For great is your reward;
For so persecute they, the prophets before you and me.

If you do wrong they complain,
Even if you call the Father's name,
It's the same, what they want us to do,
Don't they know this is nothing new.
Why won't they do what they want,
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful,
There's lights of hope still shining.

Let Jah rise and the heathen scatter,
Have to give thanks and praises no matter.
Even if the flames is getting hotter and hotter,
Everybody should know I don't believe in rumour.
Children arise from your sleep and slumber,
Don't come to bow, come to conquer.
Strictly love, why you envy your brother?
Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner.

If you do wrong they complain,
Even if you call the Father's name,
It's the same, what they want us to do,
Don't they know this is nothing new.
Why won't they do what they want,
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful,
There's lights of hope still shining, shining..
