Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see nuff rise up creating war

True dem nuh know dem nuh know

Ten thousand will lead out from near and far

Fire a go burn down Rome

We fighting for equal rights and justice

For all man to speak, yes, now

Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess

King Selassie alone wear the crown

[Verse 2]

'Cause if them youths yah get hungry, I can play

Sunday to Sunday fi some pay

So best if you run way, no jumpy

Or your skies will become grey

You tun clay

So get your painkillers for these brain thrillers

Them youth yah aim skill as man wey train killaz

Buss shot and escape to Spain villas

Gangsters down underground name builders

[Verse 3]

Situation a get aggravate that's why the wicked and the evil a go moderate

Now they seems with the devil they collaborate

So when your climbing nuff a dem make the ladder break

So make sure you a trod to the father gate

Inna your heart you a push the arrow straight

Now this a living and me no haffi exaggerate

Now every day me show an bear another wake

[Verse 4]

'Cause when Jah's kingdom is ready to rule

A lot of weeping and mourning will be there

'Cause only the fittest of the fittest shall survive

When Jah fire keep burning, burning, burning

And one day Babylon will soon be overthrown

And all my black people no more they have to moan

'Cause only the fittest of the fittest shall survive

When Jah fire keep burning, burning, burning

[Verse 5]

Calling ten thousand warriors from near and far

Yes, this is new day war

Rebels a drive out with AKS and big SLR

We don't care who you are

We are fighting for equal rights and justice for all man to speak, yes star

A we Rasta recruit and them can't rebuke, 'cause we are the new born start

[Verse 6]

Watch it make we shake devil city and break up them bones

When Rasta yute come to claim dem own

Hear me, mama Africa meh no wait on me own

Burn out the land wey them call name Rome

Inna dis yah war you know you affi militant

With me armor you know strap deh inna hand

Bun out pagans dem affi get slew

Dre Island

[Verse 7]

'Cause when Jah's kingdom is ready to rule

A lot of weeping and mourning will be there

'Cause only the fittest of the fittest shall survive

When Jah fire keep burning, burning, burning

And one day Babylon will soon be overthrown

And all my black people no more they have to moan

'Cause only the fittest of the fittest shall survive

When Jah fire keep burning, burning, burning

[Verse 8]

Dem asking a who that, King Selassie day fi slew that

David and Goliath ina di battle

You know war is on

Get your war booth, yes on

Well, this yah one a tribal war, nuclear war, dem shouting war
