Beware

Ahhhhh
Mmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm
Oh Jah

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care (Rastaman say)

Who gwan pay fi all di black blood shed?
Who gwan pay fi sweat to children dead?
Who gwan seh we nah bargain for we freedom?
Freedom now or face di gun

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care

Azania arise, no more apartheid lie
Azania arise, black babies cry (And I sight the one who)
Negotiating for what truly belong to you
Could never be a noble thing to do
Sitting and talking while blacks die every day
Going round and round, try inna peaceful way

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care

Azania when? Who's enemy, who's friend?
Azania plan, take back di land
Mandela beware, there's no fear but fear
Mandela beware, superpower nuh care (Yad a way home to Zion)
And the time will come when blacks will rule
But will it be only a talk and a tool?
Disguised in blackness, doing its best
Apartheid disguised in African blackness

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care

ANC, PAC
U-boat, have di key
Azania, Azania, Azania must be free

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care

The power that you seek will not be attained by chatter
Power will not be given to you on a platter
Negotiating for what truly belong to you
Could never be a noble thing to do

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care

Azania arise, no more black blood to shed
Azania arise, let the age be protected
Azania arise, no more black blood to shed
Azania arise, let the hungry be fed

Mandela beware, mind your share out with share
Mandela beware, over 400 years, dem nuh care
Dem nuh care
Dem nuh care
Dem nuh care

Well I shall yad a way home to Zion
Yad a way home
I say one bright morning when my work is over
I shall yad a way home
Then I hear the voice of the rastaman say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down
Then I sight the one who breaks the seven seals
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down
