Send "Catch A Fire" ringtone to your cell

Every time I 'ear di crack of di whip my blood runs cold

I remember on di slave ship how dey brutalise your very soul

Today dey say that we are free

Only to be jailed in poverty

Good god I think it's a little

Only a that makes

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

Dem take up di ghetto youths and give dem pure magazine

An take up on dem set an give dem bare 16

An play dem dirty game applaud di bloods and skins

An watch dem like a show of a view big screen

An can we bread a dem an go buy dem cream?

Turn dem inna police an bring dem in 'pon dem team

Him drive ten grand worth a government larder

An fight against di ones who have di same forefather

Him next door neighbour all weed we charge for

WI children slaughter

An weed dem wan murder

Jus read di observer

Right now di city can get no obsurder

Of the 400 years a no leap wi brown sugar

We ambush we bred a

An gwan like whenever

Use to plan slave revolt an a dem push dem together

We change jus like di weather.

Every time I ear di crack of di whip my blood runs at me (its runnin cold)

I remember on di slave ship how dey brutalise your very soul

Today dey say that we are free

Only to be jailed in poverty

Good god I think it's a little

Only a that makes

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

Son's of slaves child

Now son's of di slave driver

Na space slave ride an hide a

An if dem could dem would tax you pon saliva

How much more must we die for?

The ones in the cars when we standing at da car minus

The government bogus they don't work for us

Instead dem chain and whip you with da best stick first

And guns and aids and drugs

Cause most of di youths with di school in dey mouth

Can' get no money from legitimate jobs

Den a wonder

Why dem grab chain and bags

You influence di youth a turn dem gays and fags

And rest den can afford not even torn up rags

But table a turn a mi turntable spun

Di fiya we a catch up all a blaze and a burn

Dats why anytime you say Rasta ya run!

Eh yo!

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

We no wan nah Babylon government wey ya burn down ganja man tent

And dem a come wit dem one bag o tax argument when we can' pay rent

Me side dem a leave ghetto youths every which part dem went dem a be round corner dem bent

So next time dem pass through you and ya crew don' give dem no encouragement

Eh yo jus start run dem out and start burn dem out a ya environment

An yo we wan no bout da eva red cent o' di poor people money dem spent

An den we wan no down to who pay di bill when di prime minister car dent

An yo we wan know when dem come repossess all these guns and jobs they've sent

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned

Slave driver your table has turned

Catch a fire your gonna get burned
