Glory be on to the Father and to the Son 
Ruler of creation, Honorable 

Oh Israel, Isikiel, 
Them yah rebel warrrior, them ah go rebel 
and I won't fail, much less to compel 
You have the knowledge you tell 

Emanuel say up with Jah palaces, 
down with your folly things 
Light in your crevices, 
no matter what it is, 
Look within the scene, 
the Nyabinghi keeps rollin', ey 

Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black man rise, too long you dey under disguise 
Up with Jah palaces 
Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black woman rise, too long you've been under your disguise 

So long in affliction, the Conquering Lion shall help 
And everyday the robbers of the people, 
keep on exhalting themselves 
Yo, why y'all so greedy? Robbing from the needy, 
Hey ey ey where is the poor man's wealth? 
No this isn't easy, would you believe me? 
Babylon is messing up your wealth 
They form the reason, we have been prisoned 
Youths let your voices be heard 
Yo, and every season them target Black people 
To kill the innocent they have the nerve 
Up with Jah palaces 

Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black man rise, too long you dey inna your disguise 
Up with Jah palaces 
Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black man rise, too long you dey inna disguise 

No more suffering, we ah go home 
No more rustling, to the throne 
To ease all ah the pain we afi chant fi go home 
Release the mental chain from down inna Rome 
Nuttin you ah gain and every day you ah moan 
No strain to give us the honey from the comb 
More and more rain pouring down 
Hardcore warrior tell me how me sound 
Inflation ah crush ya just like bomb 
Fluctuation ah rush you outta dem town 
Come we go ah Africa and lef dem alone 
Most you slayed why is it you crave for more 
Tell them this 

Well ah Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise 
Up with Jah palaces 
Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise 

Well, I receive the blessing of the morning 
From afar I hear Ethiopia calling 
Tell them fi, give I the knowledge of the King 
The power of the Trinity always lie within 
Ah innocent slave down inna the west 
From Africa them tek we that make me vex 
Pon them slave ship ah black man full every deck 
And down inna the west me nah go flow no flap with ex, yo 

Ey Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black man rise, salvation never come inna disguise 
Up with Jah palaces 
Freedom cry, 
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea 
Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise 

Oh Israel and Isikiel, 
Them yah rebel warrrior, them ah go rebel 
and I won't fail, much less to compel 
You have the knowledge you tell 
Emanuel say up with [echoing]
