Song Lyrics

If Dem a Tyrant

Kick dem out

Hallelujah

Jump and shout

Uprising yes!

Without a doubt watch out

You better watch out you bad rulers



Never let a politician - oh no

Grant you a favour

He's coming with his plots and schemes after you

To control you for I-ver & ever

Chant Nyahbinghi - Congo drums

Woe to down pressors - yes

Stab through the heart of Babylon

Cause I man no jester when I say



If Dem a Tyrant

Kick dem out

Hallelujah

Jump and shout

Uprising yes!

Without a doubt watch out

You better watch out you bad rulers



You pocketing the government funds

And guilty of deceiving the people

Who worship the ground that you walk on?

How can you be so evil?

And any opposition is thrown into prison

And sentence to an execution

The system is a fraud

In greed there's no reward

Let's eradicate corruption



If Dem a Tyrant

Kick dem out

Hallelujah

Jump and shout

Uprising yes!

Without a doubt watch out

You better watch out you bad rulers

We put you on trial now

For stealing votes

Your life in our hands now

Held down by your throat

Power to the people say we find you guilty

In the name of democracy we burn the city

No more hypocrisy says we have no mercy

So much oppression and repression leads to poverty



If Dem a Tyrant

Kick dem out

Hallelujah

Jump and shout

Uprising yes!

Without a doubt watch out

You better watch out you bad rulers



Down trodden masses get up of your asses

And look at all the trouble

This is what the fact is

We paying too much taxes

We protest cause we know it's a sin



Dem a tyrant

So much violence

Dem a tyrant

Will go down in silence
