David Hinds

I wake up in the morning and I

Flash my natty dread yaah!

Give praises to the most high JAH JAH

Then me hold a fresh

Ready for the world wide pressure

It heavy like a lead

I deliver dis ya message with a vengeance

To the heads of government..

To you head yeah!



Chorus

Cos it's time to settle the score

The poor can't take no more

Babylon rotten to the core

The shitstem run by a whore



We nah go bow come we settle the score



All you intellectual fools now

Listen to the youth

They stumble in the paths of darkness

Searching for the truth

No more hey diddle the cat and the fiddle

The cow jump over the moon

We no beg, we no bow, we nah turn poppy show

Nah go play by the rules no!



CHORUS



Yes I and I selassie I soldier

Yes we come fe war

'Gainst wickedness in high and low places

Says you full a flaw

We are the militant prepare to take your stance

Lick down who in our way

I've seen it a thousand times I know revenge is mine

And now you must pay....cause!



CHORUS



Tings get gritty in the city

Have no pity for the guilty

Up from slavery onto victory

Mighty mighty rootsy rootsy





Natty dread locks

Settle the score down easy

Settle the score down easy

Armed with locks and cutchie

Ital yood in my duchie

Dread will conquer the duppy

If you live you are lucky



Time yes it's time

Rough and ready cool and deadly time



Dis ya hustle and a bustle

Fighting against all evil

Destruction of de people

Declare it as illegal

You in a bag of trouble

So don't you move a msuscle

The shitstem run by a whore
