[Chorus:]
Tell mi if yuh ever walk di streets of the ghetto dem before
Fi see who is unsafe from secure
The lifestyle of my people they fail to recognise
Do you know what it takes for ghetto people to survive
Did you ever walk through August Town at all
Fi hear the comments of the people whey a bawl
Wonder what it takes for you to realise
How Riverton city ghetto youths dem survive

[1:]
Dats why we a king from wi dey home inna Africa
Once wi a trod through Rome wi a warrior
Whey wi fi get all now it nuh deliver

When yuh money start rise yuh keep yuh secret secure
When it start fall yuh mek it known to the poor
Soon you'll be coming back for more
All when yuh cup full a wi yuh ignore

[2:]
Then yuh commenting all the while about the places we live
Degrade wi lifestyle when yuh make it what it is
Have reaping violence in many cities
Now I dream to stronghold in many village
Now who will protect those who truly want peace
How can we keep the peace when there is no peace to keep
This time I take no defeat
Oh Lord, Im inclined to stand on my feet.

[3:]
Well then Mr. Rich, come offa di poor man's feet
How is it the strong want to downpress the weak
Without those who clean the sanitary and sweep the street
Yuh cities would be mucky, yuh nuh see it
Who you, promise the city flation below
Yet it increase everywhere dat we go
Is this the way that yuh love a show
Hurting others and yuh hold on so.

Oh mamma yeh, oh mamma yeh

[Verse 1:]
The Eastern Mountain, yeh
You can reach if you give it all your vibes

I tell you do good that's all there is to life.
Knowledge is golden, yow
You can reach if you really decide
Like the water from the fountain, yow
Tell you do good that's there is to life.
I will let no one stop you from beeing strong
Fi earth likewise a fi yuh opinion
What's your feelings
Check yourself know yuh position
When you flatter you dem with the flattering tongue
The enemies mob the heathens come inna gang
Emperor Selassie I is the protection
Years of servility, tears drop like bombs
Night and day never free without dawn
Check life: well a pure slavery deh gwaan
So mi come fi tell the people that the child was born.
Him a the government, Selassie I the Ethiopian
Strike to the devil with the education:
Proper, literate, to uplift the nation
Life.. Thought.. I hurt. I belong.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
The Eastern Mountain, yow
You can reach if you give it all your vibes
Like the water from the fountain, yow
Wanting to see what's on the other side
Knowledge is golden, yow
You can reach only if you decide
Like the water from the fountain, yow
Rasta man nah tell the ghetto youths them survive
Here the youths them crying
They were beingpushed aside
Only the best was proof enough to pulverise
The hopes, the understanding
That we still nah go slide
Children come together Rasta Far I deh rise
Better fly we together I survive
People of the colour must always be wise
From the depth of the valley up onto the sky
Even to be lucky police stop all the crimes
We nuh want nuh confusion round Rasta Far I
We bun the anxiety courageously smile, yow
Babylon we know you profile

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
The Eastern Mountain, yow
You can reach only if you got the vibes
Like the rivers and the fountain, yow
I tell you do good and hail Rasta Far I
Knowledge is golden, yow
You can reach if you really decide
Like the rivers and the fountain, yow
Tell you be good and open up all your eyes
Oh, oh surely the omnipotent
Yours truly how Ras recommend
Tell Selassie King from the Ishent
Let the power of the empress guide the resident
Oh, the people from the south shall deal
With another, nah tell yu no doubt.
Commune with the western praises and shout
The eastern marching thy route

"Ebola"


[Intro:]
World leaders are gonna be charge for evil
For killing of the most high people

World leaders are gonna be charge for evil
From Jah, because they are killing off the beautiful people

And if the cops won't arrest dem
It's a world citizen arrest then
And if the cops won't arrest dem
Supn a go gwaan

[Verse 1:]
Gloves, gas mask, oxygen tank fast
Clinical disease a pass
Gloves, gas mask, oxygen tank fast
Listen when mi talk
Dem meck it in the lab and out a door dem send it
Use the doctors a ready up epidemic
90% people dead when they get it
Riot a go bruk out
Bullets and chemical meck the wheeple
Use the knowledge of the science and help the people
Wash your hands after you touch anything
Go and get a bath you better do it often
Clean out the house, sanitize the place
Don't put your dirty hands in your face
Protect your self from everything now
Protect the family any means, any how

[Chorus:]
Is the government a coward
Is the government a coward
Is the government a coward
Only abuse poor people wid ebowas

Is the government a coward
Is the government a coward
Is the government a coward
Only abuse poor people wid ebowas

[Verse 2:]
Babylon a liar, only waan crush you
Listen, no meck nobody touch you
The disease is so contagious
Herbs are the healing nothing can save us
Who make the bacteria? Rich and the famous
Oh what you saying, oh what you saying cho
The planet no safe anymore
Read the book a revelation a implore

Who own the cottage for ebola?
The judgement is up on your shoulder
Anybody give dem anything dem tek it
Yo no fi licky, licky, or yo naw go meck it
A give pervert the eyes of the wise
Be careful of strangers giving you prize
People a feel it, baby a meck noise
Government don't turn the black a dem eyes
Ministers giving you wrong information
Why you telling lies on jubilation
All this was a plan to kill the population
What a devastation
