A bear wolf a go under the lock

So King Emmanuel put on me turban wrap

So them yah time Babylon you must get lash

Like a tomato you must get splash

Them a chant bout me poor through me clothes full a patch

And through them pull a door and got a key to them lock

Well Babylon Jesse Christ him black
