Trodding - Ijahman Levi

Mind how you’re trodding

In and out of foreign

Babylon system is watching you

Mind how you mix and mingle

In a foreign land

Where there is smoke

There is fire

To the heart of Africa

I salute old slavery victories

My fore fathers

Were prisoners in those days

In pains, shackles in chains

One meal to keep us alive

Rowing ship ahoy row

Cargoes for the Caribbean

Carry us far beyond the horizon

Negroes slaves for sale

Tradings going on

From Africa to Jamaica

Mind how you’re trodding

In and out of foreign

Babylon system is watching you

Mind how you mix and mingle

In a foreign land

Where there is smoke

There is fire

Babylon tried religion

Christians' games fading

Telling of their God

They plant in the sky

Babylon tricks never work

They turn now to drugs and guns

Giving in to the children of tomorrow

Cargoes for the Caribbean

Carry us far beyond the horizon

Negroes slave for sale

Trading going on

From Africa to Jamaica

Mind how you’re trodding

In and out of foreign

Babylon system is watching you

Mind how you mix and mingle

In a foreign land

Where there is smoke

There is fire
