Settlement

Well Jah said, "Blessed is the poor in spirit
For there is the kingdom of Heaven
Take it from the original Couton, Almighty Amen"

This a de settlement over all argument

After me a live in a one room tenement
Walk pon de street wid I Ten Commandments
Face brutality and embarrassment
All because of Babylonian infringement

Seh, "Help me Jah, Jah and forgive them judgment
Hear what dem doing to poor people and children"
Jay say, "Blessed is the poor there is the kingdom of Heaven
Read the macabee whole and the new testament
Tell de whole a dem 'bout de Ten Commandments"

Jah, Jah seh we no fe worship ornament
Chant me a go a chant an' kill che serpent
Listen Mr.Cat almighty, Amen

Render your heart, make me tell you and not your garment

Try fe move up in a life an' dem fight we with heathen
When dat nah work send dem obeah man friend dem
Next thing dem try dat is hicracious conman
If that nah work then de loquacious element

Spread propaganda fe cause disappointment
Because them looking for some form of endorsement
Long time me watch them a perplex de youth dem
But Jah will never give the power to no heathen

Fe step up and rail up and trample him children
So Jah, Jah run de whole a dem out a Heaven
In a burn fire hell weh de whole a dem condemn
A Mr.Cat come fe step pon de serpent

Twenty-five years the judge a leggy fe de sentence
Under pressure me have fe run left de charge them

Merciless shot and him a dove cot patient
