Just organize and centralize my people because Babylon have...instilled malicious and grudged upon my people, yuh know...Yuh see the dutty lifestyle...the Rastaman ah bun it!!!
There's nothing in dem system
Of which they create all around, ey
They criticize their own Idren
Yet they would catch at a straw if they were to drown, ey!
They not different from those
Scribes and Pharisees who come around, ey!
They lurks in the corners
Skylarks in the streets, flirt in the towns
They never do positive
They find a joy making people business their own, ey
Dance ah yard before yuh dance abroad
The High Priest tell yuh dat an you dey frown
[Chorus]
Galong, go get good ways, true grace
Haffi purge fi pass Zion Gate
You haffi have good ways--it give you long days
Nah take no bribe from not a screw-face
Go get good ways, good grace
Purge fi pass Zion Gate
You haffi have some good ways--it give you long days
Aw! what do you say? Ah tell yuh now
They await your downfall
Fi go labba and talk--yow!
Well eh deh greater joy ah commission
Yuh haffi go haffi knock he jawbone fi laugh, aayy!
When Babylon city ah go down
Propaganda whey they spread become a dagger to dem heart ey!
Think say dem have a secret
The baby reveal it, say them ah wok witchcraft, ow!
Say dem better, so them ah close in
Contempt the youth dem whey they pass
Every man is equal, Rastafari say
trod not on the unGodly path
[Chorus]
Galong, go get good ways, long days
Purge fi pass Zion Gate
What about yuh good ways?--it give yuh length of days
Yow, yow yuh taste
So yuh medicine dey taste
Yeah, wha',wha'!
Ey! once them know
Ah chat 'bout dem this, dem that
Who slick from who flop, ey!
Them say mash through bush
And anything else whey fi come
Ah mus' be rubbish and trash--oy!
Every day ah dat dem practice
The same ting, them never yet ah know when fi stop
Full up ah bad mind!
Then ah wah make yuh want fi see yuh brother drown...
[Chorus]
Go an have some good ways, true grace
Purge before yuh pass Zion Gate
Go and have some good ways--it give you long days
Oh! now them taste
So they medicine they taste
Good ways, long days
Nah let go King Selassie through no screw-face
Good ways--it give yuh length of days
Nah take no bribe from not a screw-face
Just have some good ways--it give yuh length of days
Aw! this ah one ah true faith
Ah tell yuh now
There's nothing in the system
That they have create around
Oh! they criticize their own Idren
Yet they would catch at a straw if they were to drown
Don't you see they're not much different
From the Scribes and the Pharisees who come around, yow
They lurks in the corners
Skylarks in the streets......
