I woke up in the morning,
with the light of the rising sun.
The wind was blowing to me,
a new war has begun.
He said the enemy was swift,
striked with impunity.
They stood in front of me,
At the gates of our City.
I took a look over the wall,
n’ I saw Babylon.
They marched toward us,
to try and conquer Zion.
So I rally up the troops,
told them to protect the youths.
Gathered my men at the gates,
And then I said…

Jah-Jah Children prepare for war!!
I n’ I gon burn down Babylon 

My men coward at the gates,
as the ground under us shaked.
Saw the fear in their eyes,
looked as their skin turned white.
Wood was flying everywhere,
our gates started to crack.
Babylon came charging in,
ready to slay my kin. 
“Steady men! Steady men!
Today! , The Enemy Shant Stand! ”
“Fight for those who can’t defend, 
N’ see this war to an end! “
Killed and crippled, how they ran,
far away from our land.
Their lies cannot bend, 
what a free mind, can’t understand. 

Jah-Jah Children prepare for war!!
I n’ I gon burn down Babylon

Get up, get up,
We gon’ fight Babylon!
Get up, get up,
We are free from Babylon!

Shaka
