[Verse 1]
Hey, freedom fighter, what you're [Dm]fighting
[Am]for? Yeah
There is [Dm]no hope for [Am]Babylon no more,
[A]brother[Dm]
Don't try save the world,
and let them take your life [Am]away
If you're searching [Dm]for freedom,
[Am]then follow the light, brother
These leaders [Dm]want us to believe

to set [Am]we free
And that is how they keep us fighting
We're only free when we're united,
tell [Dm]me
Dear Marcus Garvey,

[Am]Jah might end your life in L[Em]ondon just
[Am]before they start the next world war
Can't [Em]save nobody,

[Verse 2]
[Dm]oh- no
If you lose your soul
You got to free your[Am]self, oh- yeah
That's the only freedom
you'll know
And Jah- Jah [Dm]give me life to live
You got to let me live
The only [Am]love that you receive
is in the love you give

[Em]Let it a[Dm]ll go up in fl[Am]ames
And let [Dm]the righteous rise again
'Cause [Am]the ancients will agree
There is no death when you

Humanity, Rastafari speak [Am]for
You can't give your allegiance
to governments no [Dm]more
Can't [Am]save nobody,
