Dem a Try Ting

What a this dis, we a go bless dem
From di lowest of depths
To di highest of heights
Some a dem a crumble from dem hear Rasta voice
Same way so we go

Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry di baby born still nuh fear
Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry

Dem youth, dem system, design fi business
Judge and politician a run dem business

Police weh dem a train a fi protect dem business
But neva you worry your brain and try to puzzle out who this is

From di land of Israel easy words from your mouth
When we tell you say, I a come burn down kings house
Nyabinghi dash di fire inna white house
Sound dem trumpet because a black
Woman a shout from dem build dem house
Ghetto youths nuh live nowhere so all di homeless over kings house
Me a bring dem over deh
Fi dem share and care until dem ready fi go weh

Repatriation, I, di ghetto youth a say, hey

Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry di baby born still nuh fear
Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry

Judgement, di whole a dem a wonder how di ghetto youths a strong
Prime minister, a yah say repatriation
Yo, Elizabeth, what about we compensation
Yo, no bother make we a start rot inna Babylon
Me tell dem burn, earthquake, lightning, and a thunder
When we pass, kinds of government get turn over
Emperor Selassie I, Lion Conqueror
Yo, what is the answer, hey

Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry di baby born still nuh fear
Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry

Judgement, money a dem power yet di people inna pain
Plant di food deh farmer, mek me feed dem with di grain
As how you check yourself, protect your neighbor, the self same
Go tell di ghetto youth say dem fi look out fi rain, hey

Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
Dem think dem sit down pon throne when dem cotch pon chair
And dem police and soldiers here and there
And all di guns weh dem a carry di baby born still nuh fear
Babylon a try a thing, but we nuh scared
