[Intro]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 1]
Too long in our little ghetto
Wrong has been going on, let's protest
Children of Israel who really love rights
For Jah set I an' I as a watchman
Around Babylonian walls
Oh-oh, children of the Israel
I and I and I will never hold I peace day or night
We should-a bust down Babylon's wall
Preparing the way, preparing the way for Jah People
[Bridge]
Fight down war an' crime, fight down war and crime
Rasta, fight down war and crime an' build up di righteousness
[Chorus]
For, if you know Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari preserve our people
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari preserve our people
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Jah set I an' I as a watchman
Around di Babylonian walls (Rasta singing)
Oh, children of di Israel
I and I and I and I should never hold I peace
While we are penalized day or night
We should-a bust down Babylon doors
Preparing the way, preparing the way for Jah People
[Bridge]
Fight down war and a crime, fight down war and a crime
Rasta, fight down war and a crime an' build up a righteousness
[Outro]
For, if you know Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari preserve our people
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari preserve our people (Hear me now)
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari preserve our people
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah, Jah Rastafari preserve our people
Jah Rastafari, Jah Rastafari
Jah Rastafari preserve our people
