Don't you... hold the people...
Don't you... hold the people...
Don't you hold the people down
Don't hold the people down
Don't hold the people down hey hey hey
Don't you hold the people down
Don't hold the people down
Don't hold the people down hey hey hey
They try to keep you down by your feet
Aristocracies and the aristotellies dem cut your Achilles
and dem want you knock your knees
Kutchie got me turning japanese when me chop the trees
And me start to pree the hypocrisies
And the fallacies with the Pharisees and the Sadducees
And the Tritons of the seas and the Caesars
Draconian mandrakes they got you bedazzled
Don't you bring no trouble
System can't hold you so it simply haffi buckle
Don't you see the people dem a bubble
Certain tings me nuh dig and you don't see me with no shovel
Don't you try a holdin on again
So me tell the whole a dem
Controllers and the holders of arguments
This a weh we tell dem a parliament
Don't you hold the people down
Don't hold the people down
Don't hold the people down hey hey hey
Don't you hold the people down
Don't hold the people down
Don't hold the people down hey hey hey
Don't you hold the people when the people gwaan a rebel
Terrible and lion soon will bite me up the tamer
Barb up the wire, me nah go feat with them no longer
Send away the liars freedom is a must fi get no later
Squizz every little breath them
Tell them a war a gwaan fi get back the balance of the system
Blaze up unno lighta up unno lighta
We ah move straight fi quick get back a future for your days
Too many live low, nuff a we nit brow
Doing the night prowl to feed up the next bro
And when the belly bawl the fight go vital
The poor dem a go eat the rich if there's no food and it's so factual
Ease out and slice the cake nuh share and it's a desperation
You never care bout people approbation
Set for your conscious fake election
Thief and liars in the whole empire have them teeth and bite you them a all vampire
Free up the people from the rounds that fire
Don't you hold the people cause the people a go hold you
Don't you hold the people down...
Don't hold the people...
Don't you hold the people down
Don't hold the people down
Don't hold the people down hey hey hey
Don't you hold the people down
Don't hold the people down
Don't hold the people down hey hey hey
Ease out and slice they cake nuh share and it's a desperation
Freedom remain the final aspiration
Stop a wave but can't stop the ocean
Don't let them deceive your eyes
Be a leader fi better teach the nation
Naâman a come with an explanation
Right now we're looking for a restoration
