I wake up in the morning and I 
Flash my natty dread yaah! 
Give praises to the most high JAH JAH 
Then me hold a fresh 
Ready for the world wide pressure 
It 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! 

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! 

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 
Ital yood 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 msuscle 
The shitstem run by a whore
