[Intro: Martin Luther King Jr]
"If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they haven’t committed themselves to that over there."
[Verse]
My brothers hustling pon di corner
Trying to make ends meet everyday
Cant pay school fees for their daughters
And thats why Babylon come and take them away
It nuh nice if a family haffi gwaan separate
And the system changes their names
Call them Smith and you call them Jones
But they're still the same
[Chorus]
But all these things don't make no sense at all
How the rich man keeps on reaping what we sow
Wether you're black or white it doesn't even matter no more
Well I guess its coz of all the things we know
[Verse 2]
Youths of today they never respect their elders
All around us the world is shaking
Terrorism rise and tourism declining
It's a different kind of segregating
And everything small we nuh respect God
Selassie I sit up on his throne
I swears he weeps
[Chorus]
But all these things don't make no sense at all
How the rich man keeps on reaping what we sow
Wether you're black or white it doesn't even matter no more
Well I guess its coz of all the things we know
[Bridge]
It's a material world that we're living
Lowe to vanity and lowe to slackness
Cant believe mi eyes, what mi seeing
But I know that Babylon will have to fall
It's a material world that we're living
Lowe to vanity and lowe to slackness
Cant believe mi eyes, what mi seeing
But I know that Babylon will have to fall
