Lyrics 4000 Years - The Mighty Diamonds

4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
Remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan
Remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan

Poor can stand no more
They can take it no longer
Poor can stand no more
Now the wicked get stronger

4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
All I say, remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan
Remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan

The youths of tomorrow
They won't be like them shadow
The youths of tomorrow
They won't beg, steal or borrow

4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
All I say, remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan
Remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan

The youths of tomorrow
They won't be like them shadow
The youths of tomorrow
They won't beg, steal or borrow
4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
All I say, remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan
Remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan

Poor can stand no more
They can take it no longer
Poor can stand no more
Now the wicked get stronger

4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
Jah Jah know, 4000 years, 4000 years, down in-a Babylon
All I say, remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan
Remove your reins, Mr Back Up man
You just a-block mi plan
4000, 4000, years, 4000, and it's been long now
4000 years, 4000, 4000, and we cannot take it no longer
4000, 4000 years.
