Babylon take I down Take I down
to do some jailhouse work now
but when I'm up when I'm up
I shall be on top
no but Jah Know
I shouldn't
bend down
down there
on that Babylon ground
they take I out
they couldn't lay a hand on I no
coz the shield Iron the shield Iron
they couldn't take n' control I
coz I was red under my natty dread
take I down take I down coz I"m a natty dread
when I'm up when I'm up when I'm up there I shall be on top
no but Jah Know...
