Live Up Rasta Children Songtext
von Dennis Brown

Kill, cramp and paralyze
All down-pressers, aggressors and transgressors

I and I a Rasta children
I and I a Rasta children
We come from Zion
We come from Zion
Living down here in Babylon
Enduring the strife and tribulation

I and I no check for vanity
I and I a deal with humanity
Enduring the strife and tribulation
With Jah, guidance and protection
To lead the children out of Babylon
To the promised land, Mount Zion
Mount Zion! Mount Zion!


For Zion high is the place for I
For I and I to dwell
Fire, fire, fire a go burn Babylon
For this is a living hell
So gather the babe and suckling
To reach to the promised land, yeah

Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away

For I and I a Rasta children
I and I a Rasta children
We come from Zion
We come from Zion
Living down here in Babylon
Enduring the strives and tribulation

I and I no check for vanity
I and I a deal with humanity
Enduring the strives and tribulation
With Jah, guidance and protection
To lead the children out of Babylon
To the promised land, Mount Zion


Mount Zion, yeah, Mount Zion oh-oh, oh yeah, yeah!
Zion high, Zion high
Zion high is the place for I, I say
Can you hear me out clear? Whoa, yeah

Said I and I a Rasta children
I and I a Rasta children
We come from Zion
We come from Zion

Living down here in Babylon
Enduring the strife and tribulation
I and I no check for vanity
I and I a deal with humanity
Enduring the strife and tribulation

With Jah, guidance and protection
To lead the children out of Babylon
To the promised land, Mount Zion
Mount Zion, yeah. Mount Zion
For Zion high is the place for I
For I and I to dwell
Fire, fire, fire a go burn Babylon
