All and all you see but one |

Is to fight against Rastaman. |
|
So they build their world in great confusion |
|
To force on us the devil's illusion. |
|
But the stone that the builder refuse |
|
Shall be the head cornerstone, |
|
And no matter what game they play, |
|
Eh, we got something they could never take away; |
|
We got something they could never take away: |
|
And it's the fire (fire), it's the fire (fire) |
|
That's burning down everything: |
|
Feel that fire (fire), the fire (fire); |
|
Only the birds have their wings, yeah! |
|
No time to be deceived. |

Oh, brothers, you should know and not believe: |
|
Jah say this judgement - it could never be with water, |
|
No water could put out this fire (fire): |
|
This fire (fire), this fire (fire), |
|
This fire (fire), a yaga y'all! Ride, Natty, ride! |
|
Go deh, Dready, go deh, |
|
'Cause now the fire is out of control, |
|
Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold! |
|
Everywhere this fiyah is burning, |
|
Destroying and melting their gold, |
|
Destroying and waisting their souls. |
|
Go ride, Natty, ride! |

Tell you what: now the people gather on the beach |
|
And the leader try to make a speech, |
|
But the Dreadies understandin' that it's too late: |
|
Fire is burning; |
|
Man, pull your own weight! |
|
Fiyah is burning; |
|
Man, pull your own weight! |

Riding through the calm (go deh, go deh). |
