Settle The Score

I wake up in the morning
And I flash my natty dread, yeah
Give praises to the most high, Jah Jah
Then me hold a fresh

Ready for the world wide pressure
It's heavy like a lead
I deliver dis ya message with a vengeance
To the heads of government to you head, yeah

'Cos it's time to settle the score
The poor can't take no more
Babylon rotten to the core
The shitstem run by a whore
We nah go bow come we settle the score

All you intellectual fools now
Listen to the youth
They stumble in the paths of darkness
Searching for the truth

No more hey diddle the cat and the fiddle
The cow jump over the moon
We no beg, we no bow, we nah turn poppy show
Nah go play by the rules no

'Cos it's time to settle the score
The poor can't take no more
Babylon rotten to the core
The shitstem run by a whore
We nah go bow come we settle the score

Yes, I and I Selassie I soldier
Yes, we come fe war
'Gainst wickedness in high and low places
Says you full a flaw

We are the militant prepare to take your stance
Lick down who in our way
I've seen it a thousand times I know revenge is mine
And now you must pay, cause

'Cos it's time to settle the score
The poor can't take no more
Babylon rotten to the core
The shitstem run by a whore
We nah go bow come we settle the score

Tings get gritty in the city
Have no pity for the guilty
Up from slavery onto victory
Mighty mighty rootsy rootsy

Natty dread locks
Settle the score down easy
Settle the score down easy
Armed with locks and cutchie

Italyood in my duchie
Dread will conquer the duppy
If you live you are lucky
Time, yes, it's time
Rough and ready cool and deadly time

Dis ya hustle and a bustle
Fighting against all evil
Destruction of de people
Declare it as illegal

You in a bag of trouble
So don't you move a muscle
The shitstem run by a whore
