Too much to bear


Well dem done know say Emperor for ganja

who sit up in the north to fight you up
and look to the east himself yuh know
You know say Babylon down step
as Rasta upset John Pope the beast

CHORUS
Babylon you're too much to bear
can't afford to do that now
I've got to keep my heavens clear
And I've got alot of youths to care

then by what means do you share? hey
Too much to bare

I've got to keep my heavens clear, Jah

Well den, taking all fi go stock inna yuh bank
Fi hours hear mi call and you turn and insult
You've been too bad for the heath of an adult

Well now ghetto youths mi afi ask

And we ah doctor that just so kill of mi family

And I've got alot of youths to care

CHORUS
But Babylon is too much to bear

And I've got alot of youths to care

Babylon, too much to bare

Anyhow we nah go bow oh no
and I've got alot of youths to care
Oh no

Well make them know,
Oh yes the works of Jah, I man gladly accept
be still and let it carried out and many success
Selassi I, I holla out He I solace
standing watchful for my people in this west
Whoa Ethiopia for all burn faces,
there so everything start, some people village
Oh my people you are more than big
every black man you see ah more than royalty
Cuz me know that's why mi know

CHORUS
They're so much to bear
can't afford to do that now
I've got to keep my heavens clear
And I've got alot of youths to care
you keep on givin I double gaow
then by what means do you share? Oh oh
Too much to bare

I've got to keep my heavens clear,
lot of youths to care
you keep on givin I double gaow

Dem taking all fi go stock inna dem bank
Fi hours hear mi call and you turn and insult
You've been just too bad for the heath of an adult
a baby is much better a result
Well watch ah now know

the sickness that befall I n I is so many?
