Lyrics
If tomorrow, I was leavin' to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life Jah Jah children livin'
Would let anyone desert their soul
So the pagan heart who divided Jah Jah children
Soon or later you will see divided they fall, 'cause
Some ah rob, some ah loot some ah shoot
Some ah rob, some ah loot some ah shoot
Some ah rob, some ah loot some ah shoot
Tell you them ah rob, some ah loot some ah shoot
I and I the happy warrior slave
Returnin' with good news today
From my Jamaican people, to my African nation
Woh oh oh, yeh, heh
If tomorrow, I was leavin' to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
These ways of life I am livin'
Would let anyone hurt their soul
Oh oh
If tomorrow, I was leavin' to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life Jah Jah children facin'
Would let anyone desert their soul
The violent struggle I and I been through
Is with the counterfeit black man who betray his homeland
Through the metal call money
And it is very funny
I philosophy did inspired I and I to tread Mount Zion way
Woh oh oh, yeh heh
If tomorrow, I was leavin' to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life I am livin' oh yeah
Would let anyone desert their soul
I oy, I oy, I oy
My culture is growing stronger
And I hope I never surrender
Woh woh yeah yeah heh
You take the lion from the flag of Africa
Because you want to pray to the dragon
Oh no no no, no
