  • VERSE (Stephen Marley)
  • Every time I hear the crack of a whip
  • My blood runs cold
  • I remember on the slave ship
  • How they brutalized our very soul
  • Today they say that we are free
  • Only to be chained in poverty
  • Good god I think it's illiteracy
  • Only a machine that makes
  • CHORUS
  • Slave driver
  • Your table has turned
  • Catch a fire
  • Your gonna get burned
  • Slave driver
  • Your table has turned
  • Catch a fire
  • Your gonna get burned
  • VERSE
  • Now dem take up the ghetto youths
  • And gi dem pure magazine
  • And take up another set
  • And gi dem pure 16
  • And play dem dirty games
  • Of bloody plots and schemes
  • And watch dem like a show
  • Ah harbor view big screen
  • And con mi brother dem
  • And go buy dem cream
  • And turn dem inna police
  • And bring dem in pon dem team
  • Ah wah dis father
  • Him drive10 grand
  • Worth ah government Lada
  • And fight against the ones who
  • Have the same forefather
  • Him next door neighbor
  • All weed we charge for
  • We children slaughter
  • Ah we dem want murder
  • Just read di observer
  • Right now the city can't get no absurder
  • After 400 years and whole heap ah brown sugar
  • We ambush we brother
  • And go on like never
  • Used to plan slavery revolt
  • Inna di bush dem together
  • We change just like di weather
  • VERSE (Stephen Marley)
  • CHORUS
  • Sons of slaves chant down sons of di slave driver
  • Nah spear slave rider neither
  • And if dem could dem would tax you pon saliva
  • How much more must we die for
  • The ones in the car while we're standing at the terminus
  • The government bogus
  • They don't work for us
  • Instead dem chain and whip we with domestic fuss
  • And guns and aids and drugs
  • Cause most of di youths wid di schooling dem have
  • Can't get no money from legitimate jobs
  • Then you wonder why dem grab chain and bags
  • You influence the youths fi turn gays and fags
  • Or else dem canРҐt afford not even torn up rags
  • But table ah turn as mi turn table spun
  • Di fire we ah catch up all a blaze and ah bun
  • Dats why any time you see Rasta you run
  • VERSE (Stephen Marley)
  • We nuh want no Babylon government
  • Weh ah burn down ganja man tent
  • And den ah come wid dem one bag ah tax argument
  • When we can't pay light bill and rent
  • Mi sight dem ah lead ghetto youths
  • Every which part dem went
  • And ah pure wrong corner dem bent
  • So next time, dem pass thru you and your crew
  • Don't give dem no encouragement
  • A YO!
  • Just start run dem out
  • And start bun dem out
  • Ah your environment
  • A YO!
  • We want know bout ah
  • Every red cent out ah
  • Poor people money dem spent
  • And then
  • We want know down who
  • Pay di bills when the prime minister car dent
  • And then
  • We want know when dem ah come reposes
  • All these guns and drugs they've sent
