Trodding Lyrics - Ijahman Levi

Mind how you're trodding 

In and out of foreign 

Babylon system is watching you 

Mind how you mix and mingle 

In a foreign land. 

Where there is smoke 

There is fire. 

To the heart of Africa 

I salute old slavery victories 

My fore fathers 

Were prisoners in those days 

In pains, shackles in chains 

One meal to keep us alive 

Rowing ship ahoy row 

Cargoes for the Caribbean 

Carry us far beyond the horizon 

Negroes slaves for sale 

Tradings going on 

From Africa to Jamaica. 

Mind how you're trodding 

In and out of foreign 

Babylon system is watching you 

Mind how you mix and mingle 

In a foreign land. 

Where there is smoke 

There is fire. 

Babylon tried religion 

Christians' games fading 

Telling of their God 

They plant in the sky 

Babylon tricks never work 

They turn now to drugs and guns 

Giving in to the children of tomorrow 

Cargoes for the Caribbean 

Carry us far beyond the horizon 

Negroes slave for sale 

Trading going on 

From Africa to Jamaica 

Mind how you're trodding 

In and out of foreign 

Babylon system is watching you 

Mind how you mix and mingle 

In a foreign land. 

Where there is smoke 

There is fire.
