And alter the truth
En-capture the spirit and enrapture recruits
When a actually you determine the action the mood

Calm before the storm with the lass inna you palm

[Verse 3: Kabaka Pyramid]
Inna these last days wid Babylon mi haffi part ways
Trodding the valleys and the path ways
See seh dem endorse hate
Fi mi life dem wah fi gamble like a horse race
Heart racing, when mi start lace up mi boot
Wid no fear
Just a cold steer
No scissor, no comb hair, no shear
No sleep at times, hungry belly till we weak at times
So mi people can have peace of mind
But this peace of mind is very relative
Dem wah fi tek a piece of mine and sell wi relatives
When we combined dem see how dread it is
Cutting off we enemies energies, yeah
[Chorus: Kabaka Pyramid]
Man a real warrior today
Warrior tomorrow same way (warrior tomorrow same way)
Man a real warrior today
Tomorrow we nah go stray (tomorrow we nah go stray)
Yeah, man a real warrior today
Warrior tomorrow same way (warrior tomorrow same way)
Man a real warrior today
Tomorrow we nah go stray (tomorrow we nah go stray)
[Outro: Kabaka Pyramid]
Man a real warrior today
No, no, no
Man a real warrior today
This is for my warriors, battlefield warriors
Protoje is a warrior
Kabaka Pyramid is a warrior
Zinc Fence
Dunno
Rastafari lead the way
For my warriors
