Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Yeeeeeee

Sing it loud

Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Yeeeeeee

(Verse)

Goodness gracious Lord have mercy

The devil's on the move, and the world's gone crazy

Police in the streets shootin' down black babies

Holy allelujah for the young and the innocent

Yeah, run fo' yo life, the time has come

For us to strengthen our defenses

Ya, Babylon, ya know you don't belong

Ya may be old like di Zion

(Chorus)

We're leavin' Babylon, and goin' back to Zion

Leavin' Babylon, and goin' back to Zion, yeah

Goodness gracious Lord have mercy

Ya know I neva eva eva let the devil get the best of me

I saw the preacher take the nickles from the welfare babies

(?) the young man the innocent, yeah yeah

Protect the right, reject the wrong

Offends my sense, yea Babylon, ya know it won't be long

Till we be goin' back to Zion

(Chorus)

We're leavin' Babylon, and goin' back to Zion

Leavin' Babylon, and goin' back to Zion, yeah

Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Yeeeeeee

Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Oh Jah Jah Yeeeeeee
