[Intro: Damian Marley]
Yeah man
Jah will be waitin’ there wi a shout
(Jah will be waiting there we are shouting)
Jah will be waitin’ there
(Jah will be waiting there)
[Pre-Chorus: Damian Marley] In this world of calamity Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy And police weh abuse dem authority (And their police that abuse their authority) Media clowns wi nuh know bout variety, (Media clowns we don’t know about variety,) Boom
[Verse 1: Damian Marley] Di youngest veteran a come (The youngest veteran is coming to) Murda dem slow (Murder then slow) Raggamuffin sent to call mi (Raggamuffin sent to call me) From di bush bungalow (From the bush bungalow) Mi nuh watch it (I don’t watch it) Mek I clear out my voice now, Figaro (Make I clear out my voice now, Figaro) Emerge from the darkness Wid mi big blunt a glow (With my big blunt glowing) Di hammer dem a slam (The hammers are slamming) And spectator getta low (And spectator get low) Some bwoy could a big like (Some boy could have big like) Bam Bam Bigelow Buss off trigga finga, (Burst off trigger finger,) Trigga hand an’ trigga toe (Trigger hand and trigger toe) A two gun mi have mi buss dem inna stereo, (It’s two guns I have I burst them in stereo,)
[Chorus 1: Damian Marley] I got to keep on walkin', On the road to Zion, man Hey, we got to keep it burnin', On the road to Zion, man
[Bridge 1: Damian Marley] Clean and pure meditation without a doubt Don't mek dem take yuh like who dem took out (Don’t let them take you like who they took out) Jah will be waitin there wi a shout (Jah will be waiting there we are shouting) Jah will be waitin there (Jah will be waiting there)
(Repeat Pre-Chorus: Damian Marley)
[Chorus 2: Damian Marley & Nas] We got to keep on walkin', yeah On the road to Zion, man, yeah Been waitin' to do this track with you man Yeah, ha ha, yeah yeah You know, they know You got to keep on walkin', yeah On the road to Zion, man You gotta keep walkin' y'all, yeah, yeah, you gotta keep
[Verse 2: Nas] Sometimes I can't help but feel helpless I'm havin' daymares in daytime, Wide awake, try to relate This can't be happening' like I'm in a dream while I'm walkin' Human beings like ghost and zombies President Mugabe holdin' guns To innocent bodies in Zimbabwe They make John Pope seem Godly, sacrilegious And blasphemous In my lifetime, I look back at paths I walked Where savages fought and pastors taught Prostitutes stomp in high-heel boots And badges scream at young black children: "Stop or I will shoot!" I look back at cooked crack plus cars That pass by, Jaguars mad fly And I'm guilty for materialism Blacks is still up in the prison, trust that So save me your sorries, I'm raisin' an army Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley We sparkin' the ions, marchin' to Zion You know how Nas be, NYC state of mind I'm in
