[Ranking Toyan - Natty Roots lyrics]
Black people (Huh)
Never know themself until they're
Back against the wall so you see
Awaiting Babylon an' Satan killer must fall
When I man say
Babylon are dem police and the soldier man
Also a wicked man's a Babylon
So, youth man, you got to understand
An' look upon yourself
(Natty roots, natty Congo)
An' check upon your structure
(Natty roots, natty bingy)
Look upon your structure
Say, di Jah Jah dreader than dread
(Roots, natty trench tribe)
Say, watch a natty heavier than a lead
(Natty roots, natty bobo) watch out, man!
