I was sold as a slave in Africa, to an European, (ooh-yeah)
I was bound in chains and taking me on to the carribian (ooh-yeah)
New faces that I met,
Saying they are my master,
Teach I to be like fools
Jah Jah, use to cheat on the bible rules
They use I and I for tools
Is a good thing i stick to Jah golden rule,
i Never mis a day in school,
Teach I should teach I to anylise
I invert my lifes situation,
Then I really get to realising
A Rastaman first, bring civilization, on ya (right-ya)
Rasta civilize ya (on-ya)
isreal your history say, from 1655
We have been working on the same plantation
Chanting the same recitation, saying
Jah Jah is loving and a who dont love
Him never no jah (ooh-no)
coulda never know jah (ooh-no)
Robbing, cheating, hatred and war
That is the culture of Babylon heart
Saying they teach us of so called civilization (on-ya)
On ya
Babylon, you are a sly old fox
Lock you in the box and a throw away the key
For all those tricks you play when i was near
Jah Jah got the master key,
And a Rastaman, bring civilization, on ya (right-ya)
Rasta civilize ya (on-ya)
isreal your history say from 1655
We have been working on the same plantation
Chanting the same recitation, saying
Jah Jah is loving and a who dont love
Him never no jah (ooh-no)
Never never know Jah(ooh-no)
Babylon, you are a lying old fox
Lock you in the box, and a throw away the key
For all those tricks when i was near
Jah Jah Jah Jah got the master key
And a Rastaman bring civilization

Thank you dehugo,
When you try to understand it, it looks so hard, but when you see the words eventually, it looks so simple! xD
