Whoa ooh whoa oooh oooh

Hail Jah, eh ey

Works good and queer I behold with my sight

Some will share, others do as they like

Some, yuh flesh dem waah tear with dem fork and knife

Some don't care their heart is like ice

After kill another them rejoice

Every man deserve to earn

Jah Jah crown our plan with success
