Intro:
Holy Emmanuel I Selassie
well a lot to be said
The age be protected, the sick to be cared for, the hungry must be fed, well
di heads of government melt like sponge
and Babylon mi holler out out watch how yuh deh plan
Chorus
Break free from di slum
every prisoners ah come
Ethiopia's last judgement
Babylon turn ashes when mi done
tell dem seh a greater fun and lift it up pon Babylon again
Break free from di slum
every black woman ah come
Ethiopia's last judgement
Babylon turn ashes when mi done
tell dem seh a greater fun, ay ay bigger judgement
Verse 1
Dem keep on grabbin
Imma been slummin

(Chorus)
Verse 2
Well you're always in pain more and more

and then yuh run gone wipe up black master floor
I see yuh in the morning rushing out on through your door
Inna Babylon bus unnuh deh hustle and bore

black people so sweet no mek Babylon plaster unnuh like sore
(Chorus)
Verse 3

(Chorus)
