You know how it is
You know how it is out there
Babylon dem waan fi k** a couple more this year
You know how it is
You know how it is out there
They got the gun to shoot us down
But we no really care, no
You know how it is
You know how it is out there
Babylon ah push dem biochemical warfare
You know how it is
You know how it is out there
They got the d** to k** us off
But we no really care
By any means, I will defend the poor
I will shoot a wicked man and close the coffin door
Militant, sometime the lion roar
You must defend and don't pretend that Jah Jah isn't pure
It doesn't mean, that we must just relax
Dem slaughter us with prices and dem murder we with tax
They make it hard, for any of us to make
A decent cup of a juice, sufficient meal upon the plate
You know how it is
You know how it is out there

They got the gun to shoot us down
But we no really care, no
Trouble start, we say we nah go board
Because of this, dem got so piss
Dem try fi cut we throat
Army troops, dem send fi civil war
Corruption roll the place because the government is bad
Mama bawl, because another dead
Said Richie Spice, it isn't nice, the earth a run red
Don't give up, righteous people hold the faith
The earth is spitting lava, flames and fire in their face
You know how it is

You must defend and don't pretend that Jah Jah isn't pure
It doesn't mean, that we must just relax
Dem slaughter us with laws and dem murder we with tax
They make it hard, for the Rastaman to make
A decent cup of a juice, sufficient meal upon the plate
You know how it is
