Wake up this morning
Look like a curfew
Run up inna roadblock
Pure Babylon deh 'ya (deh 'ya)

Wake up this morning
Couldn't believe it's true
Run leave my shoe
(?)

All I got on me is Irish Moss
And little 'Ensi
Likkle likkle herb to smoke
Me seh Babylon, not telling you no joke
Now you're looking for guns and ammunition
Mr. Babylon (Babylon)
I ain't got none at all, oh no

Wake up this morning
It looks like a curfew
Run up inna roadblock
Pure Babylon deh 'ya (Babylon deh 'ya)

Wake up this morning
Couldn't believe it's true
Run left my shoe
(?)

Knowledge is power (power)
Every day Rastafari, every hour
Tings get critical
Be good people I say
Everyday we ah war 'mongst each other, true Babylon
Yes dem strike again
One more yute to di morgue
Praying for one and all
Be safe (be safe), be safe
Everyday I'm alive
We ah worry what's coming our way

Wake up this morning
Look like a curfew
Run up inna roadblock
Ah nuff Babylon deh 'ya (Babylon deh 'ya)

Wake up this morning
Couldn't believe it's true
Run leave my shoe
(?)

Ah dem ah pressure everyday
Ah we have love ah so me seh
When man door is closed another is opened
Babylon g'way
Peace and love inna earth right now because
Too much war
Di yutes dem you see today
Is only falling apart

Wake up this morning
Look like a curfew
Run up inna roadblock
Pure Babylon deh 'ya (Babylon deh 'ya)

Wake up this morning
Couldn't believe it's true
Run leave my shoe
(?)

Wake up this morning

(Babylon deh 'ya)
Run left my shoe

Never sell out and lose your soul
Rastafari, no
One why, one life, one life
One why, one life, one life

Wake up this morning
