Mash Dem Down Songtext
von Sizzla

Ah
Just like in the older days
Chop off the pagan head and let it roll away
Listen to what I got to say
Praise the King everyday

Come mek we go mash dem down, nah lose
All dem a wrinch and a frown
Stumbling blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down, can′t lose
Ah, deal with dem ras because a prove dem come a prove
Me a mash dem down, nah lose
All dem a wrinch and a frown
Stumbling blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down, nah lose
Kalonji come fi mash dem down, nah lose


Listen up
Little children I say to honor your mother and your father
Tell you again, I say to love you one another
Praise Selassie I crown in Addis Ababa
2Nd of November 1930, Jah Jah, Jah Jah, Jahavah
Hey, pon di wicked me dash di hotta lava
Big up di ghetto girl at Kingston and Balaclava
Mama used to give we dumpling make out of cassava
Yow, you got di riches you must share what you have
Farmer plant di food and stop the people dem from starve
Yow, Jah lead us with his rod and with his staff
All pagan me know dem must get cut off
Babylon dem bread get shut off

Come mek we go mash dem down, nah lose
All dem a wrinch and a frown
Stumbling blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down, nah lose
Find out say, a prove dem a prove
Wicked people we a go mash dem down, nah lose
Conquering lion, obstacles him come a move
Come we go mash dem down, nah lose
Babylon we mash dem down

Ah
Burn dem plan, and dem plot, and dem strategies
Burn dem up, dem computers, and dem cartridges
Lion inna di jungle me nuh bawl fi dem categories
Diss Selassie or dem end up inna worries
Mash dem down, nah lose
Deal with dem ras because a prove dem come a prove
Come mek we go mash dem down, nah lose
Babylon I mash dem down


Ah
Speak di truth and know your roots that's reality
Yow, just listen to my tune it full of quality
Children, Emperor Selassie I is the almighty
More morality
No more, no more, where black people dem stifle
When dem a shot di people, dem a kill dem with poison
Can′t tell me nothing, me see di conquering lion inna di bay
Babylon me come fi

Mash dem down, nah lose
All dem a wrinch and a frown
Stumbling blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down, nah lose
Deal with dem ras because a prove dem come a prove
Come mek we go mash dem down, nah lose
All dem a wrinch and a frown
Stumbling blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down, nah lose
Babylon we mash dem down

Can't diss di Rastaman because him hold his foundation rigid
Love and righteousness is it we use govern the village
All dem a gwaan like dem bad and dem wicked

Come we mash dem down, nah lose
All dem a wrinch and a frown
Righteousness we choose

Prove dem a prove, ghetto youth waan clothes, and shoes, and food
Mash dem down, hey Babylon I tell you that I mash dem down

Hey

Big up di ghetto girl at Africa and Balaclava
