Free Up The Prisoners

Lee “Scratch” Perry

[Intro]
I will exalt thy, oh Lord
My God and my king
Bless this song, I pray thee
Oh Jah, while the children sing

[Chorus]
Free up the prisoner, make dem go home at dem yard
Go love up dem loved ones
Free up the prisoner, make dem go home at dem yard
Go hold up dem young ones

[Post-Chorus]
Free dem up, even for a day
Free dem up 'cause the God high say
Free dem up, even for a day
Make dem love up, I say, dem loved ones

[Verse 1]
It's a sin to deprive a man of his freedom
Mister Big Chump
They listеn me as the world agree down
Mister Doublе Come
Your lips so high over who come to see
You have no heart or the nitty-nitty gritty
The people cry and you have no pity *Scatting*

[Chorus]
Mi say fi free up the sister, make she go home at her yard
Go hold up her loved one
Free up her brother, make him go home at him yard
Go squeeze up a loved one

[Post-Chorus]
Free dem up, even for a day
Free dem up 'cause the God high say
Free dem up, even for a day
Make dem love up, I say, dem loved ones

[Verse 2]
You frame some, you jail some, you kill some, you kill some
Mister Big Chump
You tallsome, you handsome, you gladsome, you chansome
Mister Double Come

[Post-Verse]
Free dem up, even for a day
Free dem up 'cause the God high say
Free dem up, even for a day
Make dem love up, I say, dem loved ones

[Verse 3]
Mi say you there in your big air condition room
You denied us, you divide us, to deward us
Fi go slaughter another brother
Prisoners by the score, hailing up your door
Prisoners by the score, broke him out him store
Some so sick, time to meet the trick
Little rubber and little ice

[Chorus]
Free up the prisoner, make him go home at him yard
Go love up him loved one
Free up the prisoner, make him go home at him yard
Go rub up him loved one

[Outro]
Free dem up, even for a day
Free dem up for our sake
Free dem up, even for a day
Make dem love up, I say, dem loved one
Place so high can get so low
Can you feel it?
