80,000 Careless Ethiopians - Inner Circle

Idren and sistren, sight up Jah Ras, Jah Rastafari!

Even the childs on their mothers' breasts

Are sightin' up, are sightin' up Jah Rastafari

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion

Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion

And it came to pass in the eleventh year

In the first month of the seventh day

The words of Jah came to us, saying:

I shall say unto the north: «Give up!»

And to the south: «Keep not back!»

Send the chosen sons from afar

And his daughters from the ends of the earth

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion

Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion

A living God

25,000 shall gather

Oh, O the my God

Jah Almighty living God

And it came to pass in the eleventh year

In the first month of the seventh day

The words of Jah came to us, saying:

I shall say unto the north: «Give up!»

And to the south: «Keep not back!»

Send the chosen sons from afar

And his daughters from the ends of the earth

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion

Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion

Oh, all the licks that I have received

I feel it all over me

Even the blind cannot see — it’s feeling the pressure from Babylon

Oh, I am feeling all the pain from Babylon licks that I have received all over

Their faces so ugly — they look just like the devil in the deep blue sea

O Jah, O Jah, O Jah.
