Look how long, look how long
Since we've been waiting down here
We have suffered and felt the pain
Year after year after year

Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!

They took us away from Africa
Far, far, far from Jamaica
To work on the big plantation
All we see was frustration

Set me free, set me free
From Babylon's slavery and misery
We are all of one religion
'Cause I'm a true-born Rastaman

Set me free, set me free
From Babylon's slavery and misery
We are all of one religion
'Cause I'm a true-born Rastaman.
