One Drop |
| Feel it in the one drop |
| And we’ll still find time to rap |
| We’re making the one stop |
| The generation gap |
| So feel this drum beat |
| As it beats within |
| Playing a rhythm |
| Resisting against the system |
| Ooh-we I know JAH’d never let us down |
| Pull your rights from wrong |
| I know JAH’d never let us down |
| Oh no! |
| oh no! |
| oh no! |
| I mean it, when I analyse the stench |
| To me, it makes a lot of sense |
| How the Dreadlock |
| Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier |
| And he was taken |
| From Africa, brought to America |
| Fighting on arrival |
| Fighting for survival |
| They made the world so hard |
| Everyday we got to keep on fighting |
| They made the world so hard |
| Everyday people are dying |
| From hunger and starvation |
| Lamentation |
| But read it in Revelation |
| You’ll find your redemption |
| And then you give us |
| The the teaching of His Majesty |
| For we no want no devil philosophy |
| Give us the teaching of His Majesty |
| For we no want no devil philosophy |
| Feel it on the one drop |
| And we still find time to rap |
| We’re making the one stop |
| And we fill in the gap |
| So fell this drum beat |
| As it beats within, playing a rhythm |
| Fighting against ism and skism |
| I know JAH’d never let us down |
| Pull your rights from wrong |
| I know JAH’d never let us down |
| Oh no! |
| oh no! |
| oh no! |
