V.1 Well I won't fear my judgment day
But rather to put things in place that need to
Be there, so I can prevail
And in a jail, there the time won't wait
So I pray that in my doings and sayings
Jah gonna keep me safe
Never give me more that I can bear
And in knowing this InI must always be clear
No anger, or frustrations, or fear
I may have it hard, but there are so many
Who have it harder, far and near, and I know
Chorus Tell me what you gonna do
When (before) all of your time's due
When a weapon of war drew
What we gonna do? What are we going to do?
V.2 Wake up now peolple, we live in
A system that keep us unequal
And the education we receive's falsified
How am I to believe what I hear when
What I heard, I know was a lie
And, the idea they been planting, with me
You're not getting reaction you wanted
The world is alive, man I represent
All mankind. My time is limited
On this earth I find
Chorus
V.3 Don't go counting your days
You think you have until the end
ÏCause, now when it come
It won't follow your plan
Live life for today
And reap tomorrow
Better yourself, respect yourself
Mt. Zion will follow
