Lyrics

Even when I walk though the valley of the shadow of death
I'll fear no evil 'cause Lord is with I
An' I an' I an' I
We are slaves (Taken into captivity)
And it's a very long time dem a hold I down
Say, very long time dem a hold I down, down in a slavery
A natty down in a slavery
And it's a very long time dem a hold I down
Say, down in a slavery
Come by, say, Babylon, free I and I
Come by, say, Babylon, free I-
A freedom, we singing freedom
A freedom, Jah black-black freedom
A freedom weh di natty dread want
I singing, a freedom weh di natty dread want
A freedom weh di natty dread want
I singing, a freedom weh di natty dread want
For it's a very long time dem a hold I down, down in a slavery
They steal our folk nationality and rob us off our culture
Freedom an' black understanding
That's what we want in the ghetto
Brothers are killing brothers for a piece of bread
Come by, say, Babylon, free I and I
Come by, say, Babylon, free I-
And it's a very long time we a call upon
Di father fi free I
And it's a very long time we a call upon
Di father fi free us
I said, fi free us, father, free us
I say, fi free us, father, free us
A for a very long time dem a hold us down
Dem a hold us down, down in a captivity (Yeah)
So, show me your culture, tell you who you are
A show me your culture, tell you who you
And if you- (Brought us to slave down here)
Long time now dem brought us to slave down here
Down in a wicked Babylon
And I-ya cyaan't understand
Weh make we have fi go? (Freedom!)
Freedom, yeah
I'm singing freedom, yeah
I'm singing freedom, yeah
A for, a freedom weh di natty dread want
Freedom weh di natty dread want
An' I father, an' I mother, an' I bredda, an' I sister
An' if you follow Marcus word you would-a never go astray
