I hear charges all over
O you judges
I know it's unfair
with so many charges
a lot of detention
it's a prosecution
a public prosecution
a such natural plant
for the curing of illness
but the backbitters and informers
it's a prosecution
a public prosectuion
no matter wah they say or do
we nah give up
juss nah give up
what Jah bless
never fade away
what Jah bless
never fade away
like mariwana
a mariwana
