[Intro]
What I was saying, brother (I'm sayin)
This is a crucial iwah (Oh-oh)
This is a terrible iwah (I see)
It crucial, it crucial
[Verse 1]
Jah, living in a babylon, I can't get no peace
(Every day I wake up, di trouble increase)
I know wicked men are robbing the peace
(A day will come, wickedness will decrease)
[Chorus]
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah
In dis a terrible iwah, in dis a terrible iwah
[Verse 2]
It crucial, it crucial (You see)
I'm livin' in a babylon, it's struggle everywhere
(Everywhere I go [?])
People on about tell I to beware
(But god di only man I and I man fear)
[Chorus]
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah
In dis a terriblе iwah, Jah make me say, in this a terriblе iwah
[Verse 3]
I said, it crucial, it crucial
Cah, babylon, you know, you sign a [?]
(Cah, justice, unity stand for everyone)
But, living in a babylon, I want you understand
(Say, di wicked man can't mash up Jah plan)
All di corruption and bad-a-ration
Will a come peace, give thanks unto god
[Chorus]
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah
In dis a terrible iwah, in dis a terrible iwah
[Verse 4]
I said, it crucial, it crucial
Living in a babylon, I can't get no peace
(Every day I wake up, di trouble increase)
I know wicked men are robbing the peace
(A day will come wickedness will decrease)
[Chorus]
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah
In dis a terrible iwah, in dis a terrible iwah (Hey)
[Verse 5]
It crucial, it crucial
Livin' in a babylon, it's struggle everywhere
(Everywhere I go [?])
People on about tell I to beware
(But god di only man I and I man fear)
[Chorus]
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah (Hey)
In dis a terrible iwah, in dis a terrible iwah (You see)
[Verse 6]
It crucial, it crucial
Cah, babylon, you know, you sign a [?]
(Cah, justice, unity stand for everyone)
But, living in a babylon, I want you understand
(Say, di wicked man can't mash up Jah plan)
All di corruption and a bad-a-ration
A will a come peace, give thanks unto Jah
[Chorus]
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah (Hey)
In dis a terrible iwah, Jah, lord a god, in dis a terrible iwah
[Outro]
It crucial, it crucial, it crucial, it crucial
In dis a crucial iwah, in dis a crucial iwah
