Lauryn Hill, Ziggy Marley - Redemption Song lyrics

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have redemption song
Redemption song redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds!
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
But, we've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had redemption song
Redemption song redemption songs

Yeah, L boogie

Yo, if they can stop this fruit
They would pop this route chop this fruit
Treat us like a prostitute knock this youth
See me in my cocky suit god's recruit
From fallin' even God's salute tribal truth
Ja people can't be mute
Share my youth to Babylon can't regroup
Sing, to Babylon can't regroup
Sing, to Babylon can't regroup

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom, yeah
'Cause all I ever have redemption song
Redemption song (Haha)
Redemption song (yeah) redemption song (Hey)
Redemption song
