[Primeira Parte]
Bb Dm
Try and remember now just what has been done
C Dm
Enslavement, displacement of every nation
Bb Dm
And now to one nation, everyone hold their grudge
C Dm
Kind of makes me wonder 'bout which side I'm on
Bb Dm
I don't defend white, and I don't defend black
C Dm
I defend truth and rights and all of that
Bb Dm
I work on situations where I'm at
C Dm
Hold my position and never fall of track
[Refrão]
Bb
Nah give up my faith!
Dm
Though Babylon rage
C
I'n'i will strive until
Dm Bb
The end of my days
Dm
Rasta courage
C Dm
Go against society, Rasta courage
Bb
Nah give up my faith!
Dm
Though Babylon rage
C
I'n'i will strive until
Dm Bb
The end of my days
Dm
Rasta courage
C Dm
Go against society, Rasta courage
[Segunda Parte]
Bb Dm
I never give no good vibes and I never give up no truth
C Dm
Never trade my sanity for living in Babylon crew
Bb Dm
Vanity will never drive this man insane
C Dm
This man will walk alongside Jah again
Bb Dm
We see all of the pressure to conform today
C Dm
And I may sometimes bend, but only as not to break
Bb Dm
'Cause a life of iniquity for laziness' sake
C Dm
Is a deal with the devil Rasta just can't make
[Refrão]
Bb
Nah give up my faith!
Dm
Though Babylon rage
C
I'n'i will strive until
Dm Bb
The end of my days
Dm
Rasta courage
C Dm
Go against society, Rasta courage
Bb
Nah give up my faith!
Dm
Though Babylon rage
C
I'n'i will strive until
Dm Bb
The end of my days
Dm
Rasta courage
C Dm
Go against society, Rasta courage
[Terceira Parte]
Bb Dm
Looking back now upon all of the evidence
C Dm
400 years and what those years have really done
Bb Dm
We talk of peace but at the first sign of war
C Dm
Brethren ain't brethren and sistren ain't sistren no more
Bb Dm
Without forgiveness how will any war cease
C Dm
While the heathen rage rastaman sitting at ease
Bb Dm
No one will move a muscle for some moral justice
C Dm
And whit no justice, well, there will be no peace
[Refrão]
Bb
Nah give up my faith!
Dm
Though Babylon rage
C
I'n'i will strive until
Dm Bb
The end of my days
Dm
Rasta courage
C Dm
Go against them, go against them
Bb
Nah give up my faith!
Dm
Though Babylon rage
C
I'n'i will strive until
Dm Bb
The end of my days
Dm
Rasta courage
C Dm
Go against them, go against them
