Gilberto Gil - One Drop lyrics

Feel it in the one drop And we'll still find time to rap We're making the one stop The generation gap So feel this drum beat As it beats within Playing a rhythm Resisting against the system Ooh-we I know JAH'd never let us down Pull your rights from wrong I know JAH'd never let us down Oh no! oh no! oh no! I mean it, when I an*lyse the stench To me, it makes a lot of sense How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier And he was taken From Africa, brought to America Fighting on arrival Fighting for survival They made the world so hard Everyday we got to keep on fighting They made the world so hard Everyday people are dying From hunger and starvation Lamentation But read it in Revelation You'll find your redemption And then you give us The the teaching of His Majesty For we no want no devil philosophy Give us the teaching of His Majesty For we no want no devil philosophy Feel it on the one drop And we still find time to rap We're making the one stop And we fill in the gap So fell this drum beat As it beats within, playing a rhythm Fighting against ism and skism I know JAH'd never let us down Pull your rights from wrong I know JAH'd never let us down Oh no! oh no! oh no!
