Bridge: Well I don't care what they say 'cause I'm not
going away They're fighting us every day but we won't
stop the reggae--no way Chorus: God He is my defender
I won't surrender to their gossip and slander--tell
them! And though they spread propaganda I won't
respond because the Lord is my defender Well I refuse
to be violent 'cause God is not silent When the wicked
and deceitful ones opened their mouths Against me
their fighting with lies and backbiting With words
full of hatred you see them surround See them attack a
man without any cause I won't retaliate, I'm not
fighting their wars They try to magnify the Christian
man's flaws But I refuse to war with this pack of
outlaws (CHORUS) What's good for the goose is not
good for the gander See them a promoting them false
propaganda Dilute the Word with them secular agenda
Talk about them Christians--me know them a pretender
Come out of the darkness from whence you have hidden
Stop promoting slackness, you know it is forbidden A
serious talk this is not just a jingle Light and the
dark--the two nah go mingle / (BRIDGE) (CHORUS) So
see the hypocrites them a go along down there / Su su
'pon the corner with a ray ray ray / No bother listen
what the gossiper say Me no mix or mingle inna them a
lay lay So I won't be distracted / I won't get
sidelined I won't be disrupted with God on my mind
I'm a man on a mission with work to be done I'll
fulfill my vision of unity as one (CHORUS)
(HYPOCRITES) Well persecution is a promise It's a
guarantee If they're not against us then you should
worry So no bother to fret--it's not a big thing
You'll never find a servant treated better than his
King! (CHORUS 2X) (BRIDGE).
