Say Jah Jah deh deh no matter wha' dem a say Jah deh deh, yes him deh deh, no matter wha' dem a say Jah deh deh, well again again Ooh na na na na na na na Tell me is it dem or is it me. Is it the bird wha' deh ina di tree Is it the fish wha' swim ina di sea, Is it the willow wha' carry birds and bees. No it's none of dem deh things indeed, It's rather fi dem Babylon technology. Ah rather dem sky scrapers and fi dem streets Ah the nerve centres of fi dem cities, where mind-slaves ah run tings fi we But Patrice Lumumba na go rest in peace, Steven Biko na go rest in peace, Kwame Nkrumah na go rest in peace, Marcus Garvey na go rest in peace, Malcolm X ‘im na go rest in peace Mahatma Gandhi na go rest in peace burying their bodies was like burying seeds Ina fi we babies I can see dem creep, Ina fi we mothers I can hear them weep Out of the mouths of the sufferers I can hear them scream. Hear dem scream! Chorus Say Jah Jah deh deh no matter wha' dem a say Jah deh deh, yes I'm deh deh, no matter wha' dem a say Jah deh deh, well again again Ooh na na na na na na na The things wha' you a own end up owning you, the things wha' you a clone end up cloning you. The things wha' you a show end up showing in you any time you a fling a stone it end up hitting you. The things wha' you possess end up possessing you you claim seh you a progress but you na progress fi true. You claim seh you are so blessed but you are cursed fi true, cos what comes first, last in you Chorus Say Jah Jah deh deh no matter wha' dem a say Jah deh deh, yes him deh deh, no matter wha' dem a say Jah deh deh, Tell me is it dem or is it me. Is it the bird wha' deh ina di tree Is it the fish wha' swim ina di sea, Is it the willow wha' carry birds and bees. No it's none of dem deh things indeed, It's rather fi dem Babylon technology. Ah rather dem sky scrapers and fi dem streets Ah the nerve centres of fi dem cities, where mind-slaves ah run tings fi we But Patrice Lumumba na go rest in peace, Steven Biko na go rest in peace, Kwame Nkrumah na go rest in peace…
