Lyrics Jimmy Cliff

Jimmy Cliff

Originator

Wop ju wah Jah

Wop ju wah Jah

Wop ju wah Jah, ooh

Some saying this, some saying that

Some saying things they really don't know, but

Some say I'm mad, that's when I'm glad

Ever so glad because I am no fad

And I cares not what Babylon say

Or who they say they are

They got to come, they got to come my way

Or they won't get far

I'm the originator (originator)

No imitator (originator)

I'm the originator (originator)

I the creator

Some say go right, some say go left

I-man said balance 'cause that's the best

Some talking 'bout a new economic order

A spiritual one I and I would rather

'Cause we're in Rome, but we do not do

What those Romans do

They got to come, they got to come our way

Faith will see us through

I and I originator (originator)

Soul inspirator (originator)

I and I originator (originator)

No imitator (originator)

I and I originator (originator)

I the creator

Jah! Wop ju wah Jah

Wop ju wah Jah

Wop ju wah Jah, ooh

Jah! Wop ju wah Jah

Wop ju wah Jah

Wop ju wah Jah, ooh

Some say we're dreamers

Some say we're schemers

Some say we're fooled

'Cause we won't be their tools

I and I a winner, we're no beginner

Won't be your sinner 'cause we know Jah rules

And we cares not what Babylon say

Or who they say we are

They got to come, they got to come our way

Or they won't get far

I the originator (originator)

No imitator (originator)

Say I and I originator (originator)

Soul inspirator (originator)

I'm the originator (originator)

I the creator
