help me out with these lyrics...

jah jah we are waiting upon you
to redeem us by your word
although we are few we are ready to march with you
though they mock us
though they jeer us
we still remember you
glory how happy dreadlocks sing
peace on earth to all man kind
kings of kings and lord of lords
how long shall the wicked rule
please lead us out of bondage cuz we can't bear the pressure
please guide us day and night

jah jah we are calling upon you
to teach us right from wrong
although we are few we are ready to march with you
they can mock us, they can jeer us
we wont forget you


(then price jazzbo picks up the mike...)

bust it ya'll...
ride them natty with the name of jah jah...
behold he that calleth upon the name of jah
shall be blessed and be wise like solomon all days
so you be good and you be careful
ride them natty with the name of jah jah
and behold i speak unto the congregation,
to the children of Israel
thou shall not curseth by them
neither ... to hunger
and provoketh the people
neither let the stumbling block before thy blind
and the blind cannot see, lord
the deaf can not hear
say the cripple can not walk

bust it ya'll

can't catch...?
you can't catch...?
ride them natty with the name of jah jah...

so you be good and you be careful
you be careful i will tell you
for things that you don't supposed to do
you don't do as I will say
so you cast a lot upon your own brother
so you try to cast a lot upon your own sister
natty ride them with the name of jah jah

(corrections?)

can't help out with the lyrics, but top tunes that are (both the johnny clarke vocal and jazzboes dj cut, also the KT dub is very good)
