| Feel it in the one drop; |
| And we’ll still find time to rap; |
| We’re makin' the one stop |
| The generation gap; |
| Now feel this drumbeat |
| As it beats within |
| Playin' a riddim |
| Resisting against the system, ooh-wee!I know Jah’s never let us down; |
| Pull your rights from wrong |
| (I know Jah would never let us down) |
| Oh, no! |

| Every day the people are dyin' (dying), yeah! |
| (It dread, dread) For hunger (dread, dread) and starvation |
| (dread, dread, dread, dread) |
