Now here comes counter-action for satisfaction
Someone come fi rock di nation, give you like a medicine injection, you know? (Do it, Jah!)
[Chorus]
Cah, Natty sat upon di rock an' watch di wicked dem drop
Sat upon di rock an' watch di wicked dem drop
[Verse 1]
Then him chant an attack an', man, a two boy drop
Him chant an attack an', man, a two boy drop
Natty trod into the jungles of Africa
Cho, Natty trod into the jungles of Africa
He open the Bible so he read up a chapter
Started to chant up di roots an' culture
Tell it to di brothers, so him tell it to di sister
[Chorus]
Him sat upon di rock an' watch di wicked dem drop
Him sat upon di rock an' watch di wicked dem drop

You get 'way from man but you no get 'way from Jah
Say, you could a never hide from Jah
Cah, man, you say, you could a never hide from Jah

Say, on your way up, say, on your way down
You rigging and jigging to the number one sound
A make we chant down babylon-a (Down to di ground)

No matter where you run, you just cyaan hide
You slip, you slide, you goin' broke your backside
[Chorus]

You come up with your hammer, so you come up with your saw
You come up with your hammer, so you come up with your saw
You build a little house in a Africa

Cah, man, a in a babylon, a pure manslaughter
Say, in a babylon, a pure manslaughter
Mi cyaan get no fun, neither laughter
Mi cyaan get fun, neither laughter
