Black Uhuru Anthem
[Chorus]
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
[Verse 1]
Where mind ah decreasing from a distant culture
Where mind ah increasing cause we backing off vulture
[Chorus]
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
[Verse 2]
Blessed be the children of man
Who together will overstand
Blessed be the children of man
As numberless as grain of sand
[Chorus]
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
[Verse 3]
Some building costly in the hill
While so many others don't never get no share
Depriving a human of their rights
It's a crime against the worst
Don't want to tell you about prison
[Chorus]
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
[Verse 1]
Where mind ah decreasing from a distant culture
Where mind ah increasing cause we backing down vulture
[Chorus]
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I living out there
Hopefull and bright
(Wooooooooih! wooooooooih!
Wooooooooih! wooooooooih!)
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I heart of the maroon heart
Taught to the maroon thought
I 'n' I trod the maroon trod
Inna desolate places
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead
I 'n' I are the living dread
Inna this'ya dawn of the living dead

Et en français :
Nous sommes les dreads vivants
Parmi l'aube des morts vivants x2
Nos esprit s'avillissent a cause de cette lointaine culture
Nos manieres s'accroissent car nous cedons aux vautours
Refrain x2
Benis soient les enfants de l'homme
Et ensemble nous comprendrons
Beni soient les enfants de l'homme
Aussi peu nombreux que des grains de sables
Refrain x 2
Certains batissent cherement dans les collines
Pendant que tant d'autres ne reçoivent pas leurs du
Ils privent un humain des ses droits
C'est un crime des pires, je ne vous parle meme pas de prison
Refrain x2
I n i vit là, plein d'espoir et lumineux
Break
Nous sommes des dreads vivants
Nous avons le cœur d'un Maroon
Nous avons l'enseignement d'un Maroon
Nous suivons les chemins des Maroon
A travers des lieux desolés
Refrain x2
