You no see how the people dem a deal with the
Underprivileged and the unfortunate, Iyah?
Yes, Iyah
You no see the amount of gun weh in the country, Iyah?
Yes, Iyah
You see dem politician dem a fraud, Iyah?
Yes, Iyah
Well then
One, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go live fi see Jah kingdom
Promote violence and bring in too much gun
One, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go live fi see Jah kingdom
When lightning crack, dem nah have nowhere fi run
Rise from the ash and a fire
Yes, me come yah so fi dash
Lightning crack, you no see say Babylon glass house smash
Murder ring, yes, me tell dem, hotter than hot
Wha' me say again?
Police and soldiers, me tell dem fi touch not
Wha' me say again?
Move dem, make me step pon dem like Sasquatch, then
Light the fire, true, Master judging there
From a people war, oh, yes, He just don't care
You're not my boss, I ain't your slave
Be good for once, won't you behave?
See what the Master deh, sitting in the shade
While Mama toiling in the sun, boy
But one, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go see Jah Jah kingdom
Promote violence and bring in too much gun
One, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go see Jah Jah kingdom
When lightning crack, dem nah have nowhere to run
Everyone, hooligan, oil mongers, and pirate
Look to the East and then shout, "Jah Jah great!"
The heat is hot, no deaf, no blind, dumb thing
How the earth water get down in the pump thing?
It's like to shot a man, it a the in thing
Sin, top of sin, top of sin, top of sin
It's like you tell a man the truth, him say, "You violating"
Walking on the edge, some walking on the brim
Under pressure, but me still nah go trim
'Cause one, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go see Jah Jah kingdom
Promote violence and bring in too much gun
One, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go see Jah Jah kingdom
When lightning crack, the wicked nah have nowhere fi run
Oh Lord, thy peace, oh Jah, my praise
For the mouth of the wicked and the
Mouth of the deceitful are open against I
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue
They compassed me about also with words of hatred
They fought against me without a cause
For my love, they are my adversaries
But I give myself unto pride
And they rewarded me evil for good
Set thou a wicked man over him
And let Satan stand at his right hand when he shall be judged
Let him be condemned and let his pride become sin
Let his days be few and let another take his office
Let his children be fatherless
And let his wife be a widow
Let his children be continually vagabonds
And seek their bread also out of desolate places
Let the extortioner catch all that he have
And let the stranger spoil his labor
Let there be none to extend mercy upon him
Neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children
Let his prosperity be cut off
And in the generation following, let their names be blotted out
Let the iniquity of his father be
Remembered with the Lord for ever, evermore
Jah!
Rastafari

One, one bright day
Heathen will get dem pay
Dem nah go see Jah Jah kingdom
Dem nah have nowhere fi run
