Yeah de whole trick of divide and rule
Is still valid today in de west so dem say
Divide dem and incite dem against each other
Encourage murder among demselves
And dem say murder among black cases
Should bear a very little punishment you know what I'm saying
Den dem implement methods like fertility to destruction
Fertility destroyer, so dey shall smuggle de drugs
Through de groves and through de drinks and through de food
And through de channels of blackness will reduce de population
And there are also investigating de merit of uterus
Rentals through surrogate mothers to
Speed up the growths of their population
So why doeth knoweth all de reality
Of life and still try to oppose de fire
And me say some man weh say dem is Rasta
And suppose to uphold de fire but dem try to oppose de fire
