Lyrics
RAPDOWN
Over the hills and across the road
Evil-doers come into town
Over the hills and across the road
Evil-doers come around
(refrain)
Jah, Jah
Hold them in a big rain cloud
Jah, Hold them with a lightning bolt
Jah, Hold them in the East
Rasta, catch them in the West
Fire, burn them in the North and the South
Over the hills and across the sea
Devil governments have their way
Here at home, across the sea
Jah say, "Devil governments have to pay"
(refrain)
Moon, Sun and Stars
Mystic I, Mystic Sky
Earth, Heat, Air, Water
Word, Sound and Power
Fire!
Here they come saying, "Jah is dead"
Never show I and I, Jah grave
'Cause no, Jah no dead
Here they come saying, "Jah is dead"
Never show I and I, Jah grave
Cool breeze, beautiful words fill my mouth
As I compose this song for the King
Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!
