Babylon Nah Feed Yuh

If di store lock up, if di truck nah run,
If di dollar fall, tell mi what yuh gwan do, son?
Dem promise safe, dem promise strong,
But di belly still empty, di time get long.

Fi too long we beg from di government hand,
Fi too long we lost in di corporate plan.
But di Earth still turn, and di roots still grow,
Di real revolution be di food yuh know!

Plant di seed, watch it grow!
Madda know, Fadda know!
Freedom come from di land,
Babylon cyaan tek di hand!

Mek a friend wit’ di farmer, link up di land,
Di city man soon overstand.
Di soil nah lie, di seed nah fake,
Di truth be strong in di food yuh make.

Yuh cyaan eat gold, cyaan eat stock,
Cyaan eat promise from di banker's talk.
But di mango ripe, and di yam still sweet,
Di ones who plant be di ones who eat!

Plant di seed, watch it grow!
Sista know, Bredda know!
Freedom come from di land,
Babylon cyaan tek di hand!

Teach yuh pickney how fi grow di green,
Teach dem how fi live clean.
Di Earth still give, di rain still fall,
No man shall hunger when food grow tall!

Rebel wit’ a shovel, fight wit’ a seed,
Di ground give plenty, it give what yuh need.
Break dem chains, build yuh own,
Di key to di kingdom is food yuh grown!

Plant di seed, watch it grow!
Eldah know, Pickney know!
Freedom come from di land,
Babylon cyaan tek di hand!

Di elders did warn, but who did hear?
Now Babylon fall, di end is near.
But Jah provide, Jah mek a way,
Di righteous farmer will rule di day!

If yuh cyaan dig, if yuh cyaan sow,
Den find di ones who mek di food grow.
Support di farmer, support di plan,
Di rebel way fi livin’ strong!

Turn to di farmer, turn to di land,
Turn to di wisdom, turn to Jah hand!
Nuh trust di system, dem play a big game,
Food a di power, remember di name!

Dig di dirt, plant di tree!
Dat di way fi stay free!
Food a di power, food a di key!
Dat di way fi unity!

Nuh wait pon Babylon, plant yuh own!
Plant yuh own! Plant yuh own!
When di time get rough, yuh reap what yuh sow!
Reap what yuh sow! Reap what yuh sow!

"Di real revolution… is di food yuh grow."
