Lyrics

[Chorus]
Yes, mi friend
We deh a street again
Yes, mi friend, mi good friend
Dem say, we free again
[Verse 1]
The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me now
They try to keep me down, yeah
But Jah put I around, yeah
Yes, I've been accused many a times
And wrongly abused now
Oh, but through the powers of the Most High
They've got to turn me loose, oh, oh, oh
[PreChorus]
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge now
I've got to reach Mount Zion, the highest region
So if you a bull-bucka, let me tell you this
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Yes, mi friend, mi good friend
We deh a street again, oh
Yes, mi friend, mi good friend
Dem say, we free again, oh, oh
[PreChorus]
So don't try to cold me up on this bridge now
I've got to reach Mount Zion, the highest region
So if you a bull-bucka, let me tell you this
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Yes, mi friend
Dem say we free again, oh, oh, yeah
Yes, mi friend
Dem set we free again, oh
[Outro]
Yes, mi friend, mi good friend
We deh a street again
