Yet still we cut off one another neck

And now I hear the Declaration of Human Rights them reject

But cry blood

No Rasta pickin you no get in a deal
Hey, as a Rastaman, I and I no fi swear
I know what kind of man I would have been
If I'm not allowed to talk about what I see

But then again, Bible seh
 
Let yea be yea and nay be nay Matthew 5:37 - But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
James 5:12 - But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
For Jah Jah never built the world inna one day
Jah Jah built everyting inna different way

So cry blood
Motherless children, cry blood

I can remember when I was a little boy
Having nothing to eat on Christmas Eve
Not even a pair of shoes on mi feet
And then come di worst time
When I and I never have any time
And we have to play outside
I an' mi little sister
When we in dire hungry days
Everybody haffi meet hungry days
Sometimes of life every day
Hey yeah

So cry blood,
Motherless children, cry blood...
