Beenie Man - Freedom lyrics

Chuh babylon yuh betta turn wi loose
God knows, turn wi loose now
Sing along, a little song an guh a ting like

Freedom, for some I am bawling
Babylon yuh pull di chain from mi han
Mi still under yuh Babylon system god knows
Freedom for some I am bawling
Oh Selassie I, rastafarian calling
Beenie Man a sing a ting

From the day mi know miself
Man a born of mammal
Although yuh smart, dem sen yuh guh a Jamal
Teach yuh how fi spell gun and nuclear weapon
How fi spell politics and greet politician
Nowhere in the Bible where
Those words come from
Dem restore wi name an class us as African
When con is a short name for condemnation
I nuh know bout di I, I a true Ethiopian
Christopher Columbus
Bout him discover island
Discover what when him come spot the Indian
An a him tun roun an all enslave black man
Muslini an him friend dem tief the
Gold and all di diamond wHo steal wi name
Check the queen wheh deh a England
A she build the pope and introduce vatican
From Constantine, Julius aand all Pope John
Now dem reach Paul i wonder
If dem want to expand
Queen Elie-zabeth, all she is a next one
Well mi naah guh too stress me
Just a look a explanation
This is the word from the black man

I say man a true needle
Kill the dragon and eagle
Murda di pope wheh a defender of evil
Long time dem bwoi deh
A pressure black people
Have wi like a slave under chain and shackle
Now wi buss out inna muscle
Well a long time mi deh warn
Dem fi look to the east
Warning to the dragon and the
Mark of the beast mek dem a galong suh like
Dem caan tun discease
Call on the Selassie wheh a
Blow all di breeze
Weeping wailing, nashing of teeth
God judgement, is only certain man see it
Pope Constantine inna him grave
An all a grief this is no Pelican brief
My Speech

Freedom, for some I am bawling
Babylon yuh pull di chain from mi han
Mi still under yuh Babylon system god knows
Freedom for some I am bawling
Oh Selassie I, rastafarian calling
Beenie Man a sing a ting

People, well unnuh clean out yuh ears
An listen to mi lyrics
Yuh nuh hear bout di Lieshah
Di ball head prophet
Word of Elijah, di man used to spread it
John di most righteous man yet
Still wasn't a prophet he could not be God
Dem haffi tun him inna baptist
This is the meaning of ma lyrics
In these times Mandela come an try it
Well him never reach far
Prison wall di man face it
Malcolm X try an a coppershot end it
All try and dem beat it an kill it
Marcus Garvey try, a fi rice dem sell it
Only we inna di music business can stop it
Follow Beenie Man and all live it

Freedom, for some I am bawling
Babylon yuh pull di chain from mi han
Mi still under yuh Babylon system god knows
Freedom for some I am bawling
Oh Selassie I, rastafarian calling
Beenie Man a sing a ting
