Dull Blade

Dull Blade

Too long I been cutting through this Babylon jungle
Working hard day by day
With all my might I fight for the African struggle
Now it ah go dull my blade
I need a rest so I can strengthen my structure
But Babylon won't behave
I need some time to strengthen my mind
But the system wants to enslave

Too much information
It ah go dull my blade
Too much aggravation
It ah go dull my blade
No time for meditation
It ah go dull my blade
No time for creation
It ah go dull my blade

I need a bredren who can reason 'til seven
So I can sharpen my blade
I need a sistren who will sit down and listen
So I can sharpen my blade
I need to read up the Psalms of David
So I can sharpen my blade
I need to hear the utterance of Selassie
So I can sharpen my blade

And then I will cut and go through
Ready with machete it no matter what they do
Rastaman will cut and go through
Ready, holding steady fighting for me and you
Binghi-man will cut and go through
I won't let the wicked dem make me inna fool
Every day I will cut and go through
Rasta never get weary, I know just what to do

Too long I been cutting through this Babylon jungle
Working hard day by day
With all my might I fight for the Human struggle
Now it ah go dull my blade
I need a rest so I can strengthen my structure
But Babylon won't behave
I need some time to stregthen my mind
But the system wants to enslave

Too much frustration
It ah go dull my blade
Too much temptation
It ah go dull my blade
No time for supplication
It ah go dull my blade
No time for exaltation
It ah go dull my blade
