Alpha & Omega - Lee "Scratch" Perry

King Alpha, and Queen Omega

The beginning, and the end

Jah, righteous people

Must rule again

(Seh me no like the kind of Babylon)

(Seh me no dig them kinda wicked men)

(For I am a righteous Rastaman)

I’m a righteous man

And I’m a conscious man

I’m livin in this land

It’s I father’s land

As wise as a serpent

And harmless as a dove (I and I starving)

So meekly wait and murmur not

'Cause I’ve done a lot, for what I’ve done

(I and I must beat down Babylon)

(I and I go whip dem wicked men)

(I and I go beat down Babylon)

The wise man quickly and completely

By the means of sought of knowlegde

(Go whip dem, whip them)

(Go whip dem, whip them)

The shackles great divide

Conscious or unrighteous, action

And dwelleth the poor says

You gotta be conscious

And you gotta be righteous

To live in this land

Live brother

(Oh what a wicked situation)

(I and I dying for salvation)

So fire burn the wood

As the righteous people bring forth the word

(I and I go beat down Babylon)

(I and I gonna beat down Babylon)

(I and I must whip them wicked men)

Cause I’m a righteous man

And I’m a conscious man

And I’m livin' in this land

It is my father’s land

No evil doers shall stand

And no weak heart shall prosper

Cause I’m righteous man

Can live in this land
