Intro:
Woh nah, na, na, nah, na, nigh

On hurt hurt ever pray to is the sun, woh, deh, deh
Den di evil priest, come wid a god name atom

Rastaman discover that is three in one one in three
Blessed be on to thee only trinity for iver, for iver
And iver more, woh, deh, deh, lord, woh

If yuh guilty you know the story
But yuh bless by selassi hands

Full time we get it straight
Dem nuh like we race
Mek we pack up and leave this place, cause
