I am a rebel for real.

You got to know how I feel.

So brutalize I with music.

if it's a song with a meaning.

Chastise I with music.

If it's a cry from the heart.

There's got to be a message in the music,

To soothe the soul of the savage beast.

There's gt to be a message in the music,

So the knowledge of the children will increase.

Raped by those vicious antiSacons:

Drake, Peg Leg and the guy Morgan.

We don't got no mineral,

Them done nyam out

we bauxite and burn down the ganja field.

But no matter what the game they try to play,

We got something they could never take away.

So brutalize I with music.

If it's a song with a meaning.

Chastise I with music.

If it's a cry from the heart.

Marley knew he had a name,

To take reggae straight to the hall of fame.

We don't got no mineral,

Them done nyam out we bauxite

and burn down the ganja field.

But no matter what game they try to play,

We got something that they could never take away.
