Chorus If you do wrong they complain Even if you call the father's name its the same What they'want us to do Don't they know it is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing they should be thankful There's lights of hope still shining Buju Banton: Let Jah rise and the heathen scatter Have to give thanks and praises no matter Even if the flames is getting hotter & hotter Every one should know I don't believe in rumor Children arise from your sleep & slumber Don't come to bow, come to conquer Strictly love why you envy your brother Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner Garnett Silk: Why should I change to gain acceptance Can't tell a next man how to wear his pants Lift up the name of Jah in abundance Every single thing we do, we are liable To get a sentence But we won't be like a flea just like how the more we see The less you hear we speak My brother don't you be like a stubborn sheep Blessed are he when man shall revile you And persecute you, say all manner of evil Against you falsely, for Jah sake Rejoice I say and be exceedingly glad For great is your reward For so persecute they the prophets before you and me Buju Banton: Let Jah rise and the heathen scatter Have to give thanks and praises no matter Even if the flames is getting hotter & hotter Every one should know I don't believe in rumor Children arise from your sleep & slumber Don't come to bow, come to conquer Strictly love why you envy your brother Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner
