Lyrics

You see, time getting dread, time getting red

So, youth, tell 'em have to hold up dem head

An' stop di backward thinking an' thinking ahead (Murda!)

Crucial Rasta, dreadful

Say, di bandits taking over the town (Say so!)

Di deputy sheriff isn't around (You, do you like that?)

Dem even send him underground

Jah, mi say, I shot di sheriff in a self defense

Cah, Babylon a say, cah dat a capital offence

But-a time fi we get up an' fight

Cah black man, time fi we get up an' fight

Cah tell you, said-a, time fi we fight fi we right

Cah so mi said-a, time fi we get up an' fight (But hear mi, man-a!)

Say, time fi we have a revolution

Cah, dis a time fi we have a revolution

Cah mi say, due to we no have no ammunition

Talking 'bout di nuclear weapon (Slam-bam-bili)

'Bout di nuclear weapon

Jah, let mi tell you, said-a, time fi we get up an' fight

Say-say dat-a time fi we fight fi we right

Say-say dat, a pick him up, you lick him down

Him bounce right back

You pick him up, you lick him down, him bounce right back

What a hard dread fi dead (Slam-bam-bili)

What a hard dread fi dead-a (You do mi dat!)

Say, time fi mi get up an' fight (Slam-bam-bili)

Time fi mi get up an' fight (Slam-bam-bili)

Time fi we get up an' fight

Say-say dat, a time fi we have a revolution

Cah mi say, due to we no have no ammunition

Say-say, talking nuclear weapon

Jah, let mi tell you 'bout di nuclear weapon

No-no-no-no-no-no-no way [Scatting] (Do it, Jah!)

Black people! Time fi we stop fuss an' stop from fight

Time fi we get together an' try to unite

But let mi tell you, said-a, time fi we get up an' fight

No-no, say, time fi we get up an' fight

Cah tell you, say, no coppo, no brocco (Slam-bam-bili)

Say, no come fi no throw 'way

No-no way, say, no coppo, no brocco (Slam-bam-bili)

Say, no come fi no throw 'way

Jah, let mi tell you, said-a, time fi we get up an' fight (Bimma!)

Cah mi say, time fi we get up an' fight (Hey!)

Cah mi say, special request to di man called Junjo

As I try in youth from di ghetto

Say, as I try in youth from di ghetto

So, dat a time fi we get up an' fight (Boyo!)

Cah mi say, I shot di sheriff in a self defense

Cah, Babylon a say, cah, dat a capital offence

But-a Popeye di sailor man

Cah tell you, said, him living in a di garbage pan

Cah tell you, said-a, time fi we get up an' fight (Jah dread)

Time fi we get up an' fight (Jah dread)

Jah dreader than dread (Jah dread-Jah dread-Jah dread-Jah dread)

Jah heavy than lead

I-ya, I-ya natty, congo, bongo, rongo, I-ya, bredda [Scatting]

Murda!
