*** Verse 1 ***
(Lead) Feel it in the one drop
And we still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
The generation gap
So feel this drum beat
As it meets within
Playing our reggae
Resistin' against the system Ooh-ee
*** Chorus 1 ***
(All) I know Jamaica let us down
(Lead) Pull your rights from wrong
(Grp) I know Jamaica let us down
(Lead) Oh no, oh no, oh no
*** Verse 2 ***
(Lead) They make the world so hard
(Grp) So hard
(Lead) We got to keep on fightin'
(Grp) Fightin'
(Lead) They make the world so hard
(Grp) So hard
(Lead) Every day the people are dyin'
(Grp) Dyin'
(Lead) For hunger and starvation, lamentation
But read it in revelation, You'll find your redemption
*** Break ***
(Lead) And then you,
(All) Give us the teachings of his majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
(Lead) And you can,
(All) Give us the teachings of his majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
*** Verse 3 ***
(Lead) Feel it in the one drop
And we still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
And we're fillin' the gap
So feel this drum beat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Fightin' against isrim and system singin'
*** Chorus 2 ***
(All) I know Jamaica let us down

(Grp) I know Jamaica let us down
(Lead) Oh no, oh no, oh no

(Lead) They make the world so hard every day
(Grp) We got to keep on fightin'
(Lead) Every day
They make the world so hard every day
(Grp) The people are dyin'
(Lead) I'll make them a part so, I won't, I won't,
I wont frighten them. I wont frighten them, oh
