[Chorus]
If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life Jah-Jah children living
Would let anyone hurt their soul

[Verse 1]
So the pagan not, who dividing Jah-Jah children
Soon or later you’ll see divided they fall, 'cause

[Break]
Some a rob, some a loot, some a shoot
Some a rob, some a loot, some a shoot
Some a rob, some a loot, some a shoot
Tell you them a rock, some a loot, some a shoot

[Verse 2]
I&I, the happy warrior slave
Returning with good news today
From my Jamaican people
To my African nation

[Chorus]
If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
These ways of life I am living
Would let anyone hurt their soul

[Chorus]
If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life Jah-Jah children facing
Would let anyone hurt their soul

[Verse 3]
Why left struggle I&I been through
Is with the counterfeit blackman who’ll betray his homeland
Through the metal call money, and it is very funny
I philosophy did inspired I&I to trod mount Zion way

[Chorus]
If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life I am living
Would let anyone hurt them soul

[Verse 4]
My culture is growing stronger
And I hope I never surrender
You take the Lion from the flag of Africa
Because you want to pray to the Dragon

[Dub Begins]

If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause these ways of life Jah-Jah children living
Would let anyone hurt their own soul

Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause dis ways of life Jah-Jah am living
Won't let anyone hurt their soul

If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
I philosophy did inspired I&I
You take the Lion from the flag of Africa
Because you want to pray to the Dragon

[Chorus]
If tomorrow I was leaving to Zion
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
'Cause dis ways of life Jah-Jah children living
Won't let anyone hurt their own soul
