Ooh yeah, woyo,woyo,woyo, woyo-yo-yo-yo
Spill 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 rythm
Resisting against the system
Ooh-we, I know Jah'd never let us down
Pulll your rights from wrong
I know Jah'd never let us down
Oh no ! Oh no ! Oh no !
They made the world so hard (so hard)
Everyday we got to keep on fighting (fighting)
They made the world so hard (so hard)
Everyday the people are dying, yeah
From hunger and starvation, lamentation
But read it in Revelation
You'll find your redemption
And then you give us the teaching of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
And then you give us the teaching of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
Feel it in the one drop
And we still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
And we fill in the gap
So feel this drum beat
As it beats within
Playing a rythm
Fighting against ism and skism, singing...
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 !
They made the world so hard
Everyday we got to keep on fighting (everyday)
They made the world so hard
Everyday the people are dying
(Dread, dread, dread...)
How, how, how a frightening day ! (repeat)
Eh give us the teaching of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
Can you hear ?
Give us the teaching of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
Feel it in the one drop (we're lucky)
For we still find time to rap
And we're making the one stop (let me tell you)
This generation gap
So feel this drum beat
