So u mistreat them
So u lock them down and u think that you've won
Chorus:
But dem ah hole a mediation (Dem ah hold a mediation)
Out inna I-ration (out inna I-ration)
Dem a follow Rastafari and a live, ah live out right
So tell me whe u a go do now (So tell me whe u a go do)
Tell me wat u gonna do now (Tell me wat u gonna do)
Tell me wat u gonna do now that di youth ah hold dem roots

You can't hide di trut from di yout
You can steal di fruit not the root

You poison their foods and u think that you've won
