One Drop

Lyrics

[Chorus] Feel it in the one drop And we'll still find time to rap We're making the one stop The generation gap Now feel this drumbeat As it beats within Playing a rhythm Resisting against the system, ooh-wee! [Refrain] I know Jah never let us down Pull your rights from wrong (I know Jah would never let us down) Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! [Verse 1] They made their world so hard (so hard) Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting) They made their world so hard (so hard) Every day the people are dying (dying), yeah (Dread, dread) For hunger (it dread, dread) and starvation (Dread, dread, it dread, oh dread) Lamentation But read it in Revelation (Dread, dread, it dread, dread) (Dread, dread) You'll find your redemption [Pre-Chorus] And then you give us the teachings of His Majesty For we no want no devil philosophy A-you give us the teachings of His Majesty A-we no want no devil philosophy [Chorus] Feel it in the one drop And we'll still find time to rap We're making the one stop And we're filling the gap So feel this drumbeat As it beats within Playing a rhythm Fighting against -ism and schism, singing [Refrain] I know Jah never let us down Pull your rights from wrong I know Jah never let us down Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! [Verse 2] They made their world so hard Every day (we got to keep on fighting) every day! They made their world so hard Every day (the people are dying) eh!

(Dread, dread) A-what frighten them? Eh! [Pre-Chorus] Give us the teachings of His Majesty, this is a stick up! We no want no devil philosophy, can you hear? Give us the teachings of His Majesty For we no want no devil philosophy [Outro] We feel it in the one drop You're lucky, for we'll still got time to rap And we're making the one stop, let me tell ya This generation gap Now feel this drumbeat, tell you what As it's beating within
