Lyrics
I don’t have a red, red cent to pay
I’ve got my home to reach and I will reach it one day
'Cause we were taken away by force
Scattered all around the Caribbean coast
No, not a cent to pay
Yes, I’ve got to reach home one day
Yes, it was four hundred years ago
They took us from our homeland, as you should know
Yes, with the slave chains still on our hands
They leave us here to work on their plantations
But nyah-man say
No, not a cent to pay
Yes, I’ve got to reach home one day
Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion high
Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion
Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion high
Zion, Zion, Zion
I-man get a call and a Zion call
I-man get this call it said «Babylon you’re falling»
I-man get a call and a Zion call
I-man get this call it said «Babylon you’re falling»
No, oh no, not a cent to pay
Yes, I’ve got to reach home one day
Zion, Zion, Zion-lion, Zion high
Zion, Zion-lion, Zion, Zion
Zion, Zion, Zion-lion, Zion, Zion high
Zion, Zion, Lion!
