You got to hold your fate now

Fi reach mount zion gate now

And you better keep it real no baddy with the fake now

No time fi stand wait now

Galong and get things straight now

Better to be earl righteous people than to be late now

Things in life a tek time

Can't get lost from you a follow the signs

Fire pon dem durgs and dem guns and dem convicious mind

And I and I step pon crime

Right ya now me bun badman and badmind

Nuff a dem can't even walk a straight line

Your sister need love and your borther need love

And it took like you left that behind

Words and sound combine

Hafi give thanks fi the power of devine

Lost in search of the big goldmine

And ina darkness blind man e lead blind

With no limitaion I man feel fine

Living on the edge cause Jah love it is mine

And as they blasphem and plat and scheme

I man still see Jah wonders and signs

Rise up with the day

I do things in my own way

And me nuh ina your hear say

Cause dis ya speappard nuh go astray

Now me gone pon the highway

Cause man a clear like x-ray

And me nuh ina your leh leh

And joy when dis ya tune a play

Can't lek things what you nuh know

Got to find out first which way to go

And you can't exercize no form of genocide

Ina the last lane that you a go

If a Jah Jah man you want overthrow

Ina siknking ship you a row

Cause he will cut you down and he will mash you down

Like the tide that ebb and flow

Weed and tears must grow

Until the time of harvest we know

Many a call but the chosen a few

And the almighty god a say so

Man hafi go meditate and tek it slow

Riding high when you should deh pon the low

And you can't flop fast if you stick to your task

And the flowers ina your garden will grow

Stop play the fool and attend your classes

Nothing you a see you must want glasses

Sit down and complain and then you perplex fi flex

So your tribulation never passes

We living ina wolrd full jackasses

Every day dem get up and a ball bout dem crosses

And dem standing at the gate and the whole a dem a wait

But the fate is seems like dem last it
