You better change up di structure
We're on the way to destruction
So change up di structure
Becaa we can't take destruction
So take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod the street and road again
Hold we head high and proud again
Then and only then take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod the street and road again
Hold we head higher and proud again
Than and only then
Cause independence no mean
No Negrill party scene
Or colonial regime yeah
We know what dem schemes
Nah show no meaning no
Straight dem just leaning
Them fight out the green and
A cigarette dem comeen but
Jah make a assets of the people
I beg you start treat them good
Stop haul dem outta dem vehicle
Dem set the public housing, we enclose them
Imprison dem by the thousand
So take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod the street and road again
Hold we head high and proud again
Then and only then take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod the street and road again
Hold we head higher and proud again
Then and only then
Then gi wi flag them gi anthem
No even give we half a wah we
Need fi execute dem plan dem
So we still dependent pon dem
Them just a wait fi we fi come
Back and longout we empty hand dem
You talk di truth then you get condemn
Walter Rodney speak of it
We owna government go ban him
Dem wa fi block we overstanding
Wah we do the wrong thing
That's why you hear me song sing
So take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want walk we street and road again
Hold we head high and proud again
Then and only then take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod we streets and road again
Hold we head higher and proud again
Then and only then
So it takes some time fi analyze
So we living in a paradise
But be full of parasites
To dem they say you have your rights
Dem switch it up again and
It gone before tommorow night
But understand a our fight
And truth will ovapower might
And the youth dem have them owna plight
So we pree the day when we seeing
The way weh we cudda say
So take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod we streets and road again
Hold we head high and proud again
Then and only then take control a dem
Tell police officers and soldier men
Say we want trod we streets and road again
Hold we head higher and proud again
Then and only then
Then and only then, shall we be independent
