Peter Tosh - Jah Say No


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Must Rasta bear this cross alone John 19:16-17 - Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
And all the heathen go free
Jah say no...

Must Rasta live in misery
And heathens in luxury
Jah say no...

He's coming to tear down the walls of downpression
Drive away transgression
Clean up corruption
Rule equality

Must righteous live in pain
And always put to shame
Jah say no...

Must they be found guilty
And always get the blame
Jah say no

He's gonna tear down the walls of downpression
Drive away transgression
Clean up the corruption
Set the captives free

He will not give I&I
More than I can bear
Jah say no...

He will not make Lucifer
Get your soul to smear
Jah say no...

Him a go tear down the walls of a Babylon
Clean up the corruption
Drive away transgression
Rule equality
 
He will not make I
Dash I foot 'gainst the stone
Psalm 91:12 - They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Luke 4:11 - And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jah say no...

No form of destruction
Won't crumble my bones
Jah say no...
 
Him a go tear down the walls of a Babylon Jeremiah 51:58 - Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
Eliminate Satan Revelation 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 20:2 - And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Clean up corruption
Rule equality

So I will not bear this cross alone
And all the world go free
Him a go tear down the walls of a Babylon

I will not stay poor
Living in poverty
Him a go tear down the walls of a Babylon

Him a come clean up corruption
Drive away transgression
Tear down Babylon
 
Set the captives free Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
