Early inna di morning chant di psalms
Then burn out Babylon dem after all then

So Babylon mi tell yo seh mi got to time it
Living up and living right yeh

Salvation well a that mi put first
Babylon corrupt and dem a try fi struck di earth
So mi go tell dem rasta fari inherit di earth
Praise rasta fari him a di first
