AFFLICTION OF CUSH
Ah, affliction of Cush
Ah, affliction of Cush
Jah gave to Man
Just one life,
If you can't live with
Jah love,
You've got strife
Ah, affliction of
Cush
Ah, affliction of Cush
You crucified the
Emperor,
What a crime!
And for your wicked
crime,
Babylon must die!
You've got no respect
for Jah,
He's the Son of Man
Now Jah is pulling out
of the ways of men
Ah, affliction of Cush
Ah, affliction of Cush
Jah gave to Man
Equity of the Law
You tear down the
truth
Building Babylon wall
And to every Baldhead
Respect the Rastaman
"Cause he's the only
man
that's left on
creation
If you don't know
then you won't see,
things are not what
they seem
Rasta has come, Break downpression
Rasta's not a dream
Whoa! You wicked
vampire
Whoa! Hahahaha
Lightning flash and
the thunder roll
They come with the
lies of hate
to kill out the
children of the Rastaman
They come with the
lies of hate
to kill out the
prophet
Innocent blood is on
your head,
Innocent blood,
Babylon shed
Innocent blood is on
your head,
Innocent blood,
Babylon shed
They come with the
lies of hate
to kill out the
children of the Rastaman
They come with the
lies of hate
to kill out the
prophet
No, you can't kill out
the prophet
No, you can't kill out
the prophet
No, you can't kill the
prophet,
No, you can't kill
Natty Dread
Ah, affliction of Cush
Ah, affliction of Cush
With no respect for
life
and your evil ways
Now the bloody
vampires, in the light of day
Ethiopia first, is the
lie you spread
Now the civil wars
left all the innocent
dead
Take a lesson from
Sellassie
Tho you know so much
Well You only bring death
with your evil touch
Patience is the key
Cause the sheep are led,
Now fools rush in
where the wise don't
tread.
Dread, dread, dread,
dread, dread
