Dub History

was sold as a slave in Africa, to an European (ooh-yeah)
 I was bound in chains and takin' me on to the Caribbean (ooh-yeah)
 New faces that I met, sayin', they are my master
 Teach I to be like fools
 Jah Jah, use to cheat on the Bible rules
 They use I and I for tools
 Is a good thing I stick to Jah golden rule
 I never miss a day in school
 Teach I should teach I to analyse
 I invert my life's situation
 Then I really get, to realisin'
 A Rastaman first, bring civilization, on ya (right-ya)
 Rasta civilize ya! (on-ya)
 Israel your history say
 From 1655, we have been working on the same plantation
 Chanting the same recitation, sayin'
 Jah Jah is loving and a who don't love
 Him never know Jah (ooh-no)
 Coulda never know Jah (ooh-no, no!)
 Robbing, cheatin', hatred and war
 That is the culture of Babylon heart
 Sayin' they teach us of so called civilization, on-ya (on ya!)
 Babylon, you are a sly old fox
 Lock you in the box and a throw away the key
 For all those tricks you play when I was near
 Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah got the master key
 And a Rastaman, bring civilization, on ya (right-ya)
 Rasta civilize ya! (on-ya)
 Israel your history say: From 1655, we have been working on the same plantation
 Chanting the same recitation, sayin'
 Jah Jah is loving and a who don't love
 Him never know Jah (ooh-no)
 Never, never know Jah (ooh-no, no!)
 Babylon, you are a lying old fox
 Lock you in the box, and a throw away the key
 For all those tricks you play when I was near
 Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah got the master key
 And a Rastaman bring civilization, on ya (on-ya)
 Rasta civilize ya! (on-ya)
 And a Rastaman bring civilization, on-ya (on-ya, right-ya)
