Hear mi now
Eh yes I
Jah Jah eh
This is natural
Rastafari has come to this conclusion
Springing from extensive observation
The system have dem yute yah fool fool
It been going on for way too long
How could it not be criminal
The system adamance on making poor of our children
On street corners stretching hands
Overlooking the natural gifts that are forever giving
Jah gave them tools
Gave them seeds
Gave them sun and rain
Still they find ways to come up short
Yes I
Jah Jah gave them time
Gave them space
Gave the strength and energy
Still thay fail to make selves success of men
Oh eh
Dem tun dem backs to the land
Wasting time pon di grung
Dem don't wah nuh wok
Nah put dem fingers inna dutty
Preconditioned to get fast money
And do unsavory things just to get it
Nah plant wah dem eat
Eat wah dem grow
So they remain mal nourished
And foolish to slave master's gain
And Slave master's game
Look deh
Jah gave them tools
Gave them seeds
Gave them sun and rain
Still they find ways to come up short
Yes I
Jah Jah gave them time
Gave them space
Gave the strength and energy
Still thay fail to make selves success of men
Eh
We haffi buss outta the slave situation
Lean to self-sustenance
Change the psychology
Save subsequent generation
The roots man walk in with a plan
To override the stratagem simply put
Take time go clear up the land
Sow seeds tun yu hand and make fashion
If you wah live a healthy life
Simply plant wah yu nahm
Oh embrace mother nature
Nutural offering
Hear mi now eh
Jah Jah
Eh
Jah Jah
This is natural eh
We haffi buss outta the slave situation
The slave situation eh
Jah jah
Eh
We haffi buss outta the slave situation
The slave situation eh
Jah jah
