Ten Against One - Big Youth

Sheltering under Christianity

And using all means of insanity

To achieve vanity

Robbing and stealing in the name of the Lord

And playing the game in the same name

Singing natty ten against one

Sing natty tell you ten against one

'Cause I tell you it will be ten against one

One man I don’t like is a hypocrite

The other one I don’t like is a hooligan

Heathen gone back biting

Throwing at him bombing and fighting —

It wasn’t Rasta

The bombing and fighting — it wasn’t Rasta

War inna jungle — it wasn’t Rasta

The bombing in Rema — it wasn’t Rasta

Cussing in Garden — it wasn’t Rasta

The fire in a Jonestown — it wasn’t Rasta

Ask 'im Babylon — then I tell 'em

Why you trimming out the dreadlock?

So mi tell yuh what to

Ask 'im Bablylon

Is why yuh trimming out the dreadlock?

Long-time rob him of his language

No one going rob him of his culture

True me say the table going turn

And watch it and the fire going burn

This time it will be ten against one

'Cause I tell ya it will be ten against one

Going on the other side

And then a how you come over, hill so high

And then you can’t go over

Still so round‚ and then you can’t go around

Sing natty sing them songs of victory

Watch it natty sing them songs of love

Tell me natty sing them songs of glory‚ woooaah

Then and a sing it and a shout natty set them free Far I

Sing natty natty set them free Far I

Natty want to set them free Far I

Then 'im walk and 'im talk and never want natty go there

Go there go there sing natty go there go there

(Got to) keep on keeping on

Sing natty natty keep on getting it on

Say keep on shouting it on

Tell you natty hang on (repeat) in there

I say it natty dread nah let go

Show you say him hang on (repeat) in

And ah sing them songs of freedom

Natty natty sing them songs of love

Show it natty hang on (repeat) in there
