(Intro)
Run away, run away. (Jah)
(Hook)
Jah Jah know mi wah fi run away,
fi straighten up mi life and see another day.
Put the violence behind and the gun away
everyday I pray. (I pray)
Just to see all a brighter day - escape reality,
chance for ma people and ma friends and ma family.
Babylon a fight wi but Jah Jah still guide wi,
on this ragged road.

(Verse 1)
But di system just a pressure mi, babylon a penny mi,
so de gun on ma waist has become a true friend to mi.
It's my reality - corrupted mentality,
can't you see that I'm fading away?
Losing our sanity - consumed by vanity,
big car, big chain, and a whole heap a glamity.
Please tell mi why it a compel wi,
to kill one another?
(Hook)
Jah Jah know mi wah fi run away,
fi straighten up mi life and see another day.
Put the violence behind and the gun away
everyday I pray, I pray.
Just to see all a brighter day - escape reality,
chance for ma people and ma friends and ma family.
Babylon a fight wi but Jah Jah still guide wi,
on this ragged road.
(Verse 2)
Mi just a trod pon dis road of hardship and sorrow,
mi fend fi mi self mi nah beg nor borrow.
Babylon system strike mi heart like an arrow,
will there be a brighter tomorrow?
So mi look up to de sky for a brighter day,
but the rain keeps falling and it won't go away.
And Babylon a try fi lead me astray
so Jah Jah please show me the way.
(Hook)

Babylon a fight wi but Jah Jah still guide wi,
on this ragged road.
(Break down)
I'm so tired of Babylon's system,
I will no longer be a victim.
I'm so tired of Babylon's system,
and I will no longer, be a victim. (BOOM!)
Babylon a come fi de youths dem,
But dem neva know seh a Conkarah defend dem.
Zion a call to di real rebel youth dem,
We have to stand up today and not tomorrow.
Tomorrow (yea) tomorrow. (Jah)
