Settle The Score Lyrics - Steel Pulse

I wake up in the morning 

And I flash my natty dread, yeah 

Give praises to the most high, Jah Jah 

Then me hold a fresh 

Ready for the world wide pressure 

It's heavy like a lead 

I deliver dis ya message with a vengeance 

To the heads of government to you head, yeah 

'Cos it's time to settle the score 

The poor can't take no more 

Babylon rotten to the core 

The shitstem run by a whore 

We nah go bow come we settle the score 

All you intellectual fools now 

Listen to the youth 

They stumble in the paths of darkness 

Searching for the truth 

No more hey diddle the cat and the fiddle 

The cow jump over the moon 

We no beg, we no bow, we nah turn poppy show 

Nah go play by the rules no 

'Cos it's time to settle the score 

The poor can't take no more 

Babylon rotten to the core 

The shitstem run by a whore 

We nah go bow come we settle the score 

Yes, I and I Selassie I soldier 

Yes, we come fe war 

'Gainst wickedness in high and low places 

Says you full a flaw 

We are the militant prepare to take your stance 

Lick down who in our way 

I've seen it a thousand times I know revenge is mine 

And now you must pay, cause 

'Cos it's time to settle the score 

The poor can't take no more 

Babylon rotten to the core 

The shitstem run by a whore 

We nah go bow come we settle the score 

Tings get gritty in the city 

Have no pity for the guilty 

Up from slavery onto victory 

Mighty mighty rootsy rootsy 

Natty dread locks 

Settle the score down easy 

Settle the score down easy 

Armed with locks and cutchie 

Italyood in my duchie 

Dread will conquer the duppy 

If you live you are lucky 

Time, yes, it's time 

Rough and ready cool and deadly time 

Dis ya hustle and a bustle 

Fighting against all evil 

Destruction of de people 

Declare it as illegal 

You in a bag of trouble 

So don't you move a muscle 

The shitstem run by a whore
