(Intro) Babylon, you're wasting your fucking breath. (Verse 1) Try drowning a fuckin' fish, see how that story ends, Born in the current, riding tides that never bend. Pressure make diamonds, fire make steel, Jah know the truth from every counterfeit deal. They tried to bury the seed beneath concrete lies, Now the roots crack stone while the whole world cries. You can't sink what was born to swim, Can't dim the light when the fire burns within. (Chorus) Try drowning a fuckin' fish! Try putting out the sun with a wish! You can kick and curse till your boots fall apart, But Jah put courage in a righteous heart. Try drowning a fuckin' fish! That's a fool's ambition on a fool's damn list. Truth keep breathing when the lies all rot, What Jah has planted can't be forgot. (Verse 2) Throw another chain, it'll only make noise, Can't buy real freedom with Babylon toys. Every brick they stack become another stepping stone, The lion keep roaring from flesh and bone. I don't need poison running through my veins, I'm naturally dangerous breaking old chains. Sober with thunder, clear as the sky, Still got enough fire to electrify. (Bridge) Boom... Nyabinghi heartbeat... One drum. One people. One flame. The wicked fear silence, 'Cause that's where truth learn your name. (Final Chorus) Try drowning a fuckin' fish! Try telling the ocean what it can and can't be! The roots go deeper than your eyes can see, Jah love set the captive free. Try drowning a fuckin' fish! You'll end up soaked in your own bullshit. The righteous rise with every sunrise kiss, So go ahead... Try drowning a fuckin' fish. We'll still be swimming. 🌊🔥🇯🇲
