'Member, an' never turn your back on the man
Oh, he's there for each and every one (Woah)

As I rise up in the mornin'
And say a prayer that a reference no stallin'
And from afar-a, yeah, the wicked man callin'
An' try to bribe I with silver and gold
But no, no deal, no bargain
'Member, every man a get them pay according
So don't turn your back at this, miss the warnin'
And later on come take up your chat and come crawlin' back to Jah

And I will never sell my soul to leave the gutter (The gutter)
And I never ever-ever disrespect the father, the father ('Cause)
I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go (Yow)
I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go

And if Jah wrong, mi no want fi be right
When you see the light nuff of dem goin' come-come fight
I wonder weh dem a bite, make dem so light
Cyaan stop di father, son cah mi under cool sky
Evil is their delight, give mi di mic
An' make mi trample Babylon with mi mind

And I'll never sell my soul to leave the gutter (The gutter)
And don't you ever, never-ever-ever disrespect the father
The father ('Cause)
I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he goes (Yeah, yow)
I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go

I rather to die know a barber
Bow down to disrespect an' denounce the father
Nuff burn di bridge an' cyaan cross body water
Go tell em say-a "Salvation me after"
Firm man, strong, because mi cyaan falter
One eye pon di price, one pon di voucher
I do not tell to leave the roots and culture
So they can't eat up I flesh (Woah-oh)

And I'll never, never-ever-ever disrespect the father (The father)
And I'll never, ever-ever sell my soul to leave the gutter
The gutter ('Cause)
I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he goes (Yeah, yow)
I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go

As I rise up in the mornin' I say a prayer that a reference no stallin'
And from afar I see the weaker man callin'
Tryin' to bribe I with silver and gold
But no, no deal, no bargain
'Member, every man a get them pay according
So don't turn your back at this, miss the warnin'
And later on come take up your chat and come crawlin' back to Jah

And I'll never sell my soul to leave the gutter (The gutter)
And I'll never ever-ever disrespect the father, the father (Yow)
I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go (Yeah, yow)

I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go (Yeah, yow)
I will, I will, I will follow Jah wherever he go

And if Jah wrong, mi no want fi be right
When you see the light nuff of dem goin' run-come-come fight
I wonder weh dem a bite, make dem so light
Cyaan stop di father, son, mi under cool sky
A evil are dem delight, give mi di mic
Make mi trample Babylon with all of mi mind

'Cause I'll never sell my soul to leave the gutter
