VIGILANCE LYRICS
Get up and fight!
‘Til we get our rights
‘Cause them feeding the greedy
While ignoring the needy
Got to be watchful, got to be mindful, got to be alert
Got to get up and got to rise up, and got to do Jah works
Vigilance whoh-oi, got to have vigilance Jah children
Vigilance come on gimme some, vigilance
gimme some, gimme some …
One man terrorist is another man freedom fighter
Babylon a mi nemesis, I ‘n I a fiyah-rebel warrior
Them trying to lead us to a dark pit
but we naw mek them get over
Them think the judgement is with water
but Jah coming with that blazing fire, fire, fire, fire
Got to be watchful, got to be mindful, got to be alert
Got to get up and got to wake up, and got to do Jah works
Vigilance whoh-oi, got to have vigilance Jah children
Vigilance come on gimme some, vigilance
gimme some, I need some …
Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for our freedom
Can’t let no crooked politician
lock away the keys to the kingdom, no
Them steal from the many many many
just to give to the privilege few
Living high ‘pon the hog, high ‘pon the hog
and ‘nuff ghetto youth them a screw, ooh
It ain’t over til it’s over
Rasta vigilant, ever vigilant
Can’t fool dread with them propaganda
Vigilant, oh natty vigilant
Everyday a new illusion
to keep the youths them in confusion
A.I., artificial intelligence
headed in the wrong direction, ‘cause
More people shall go hungry Lord
and we need a true solution
Wall street can’t do it ‘cause them greedy
Hey dawg find your higher lion, higher lion
Got to be watchful, got to be mindful, got to be alert
Got to get up and got to rise up, and got to do Jah works
Vigilance whoh-oi, got to have vigilance Jah children
Vigilance come on gimme some, vigilance
gimme some …
It no done, we only just begun
Natty vigilant, yes vigilant
Perfect storm, people power come
Vigilant, oh Rasta vigilant
Got to be watchful, got to be mindful, got to be alert
Got to get up and got to rise up, and got to do Jah works
Vigilance whoh-oi, got to have vigilance Jah children
Vigilance come on gimme some, vigilance
gimme some, gimme some …
Got to be watchful, got to be mindful, got to be alert
Got to get up and got to wake up, and got to do Jah works
Vigilance whoh-oi, got to have vigilance Jah children
Vigilance come on gimme some, vigilance
gimme some, natty need some …
