Whoa oh oh

Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
Well oh

Neither much fi touch uno
Words, power, sound mi Rasta bredrin use fi dust uno
Old virus uno!
Old locust uno!
Haile Selassie teach mi say mi nuh fi trust uno

I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
Well oh oh oh
I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
Well well

Dem set dem traps
And set dem snares
Hoping they would catch me unaware

Bad influence!
To stop my trend!
Hoping that teh Rasta life would end!
But its so impossible
Rasta is inevitable
That is why we leave them dense
Consciousness is unstoppable
You think you’re invincible
Vatican you got no sense

I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
Whoa oh oh
I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
A whoa Lord

Dweet Flesh
Every morning as mi rise mi haffi,
Greet Flesh
Man a vegetarian and a wi no,
Eat Flesh
Hail Selassie I because HIM a di,
Sweetest
Well oh oh

I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
Whoa Lord

Flesh fi wise well! [wise up!]
Flesh fi wise whoa!

Vampire, hypocrites and parasites
Haile Selassie give I strength to fight
Weak heart get bun now
I live amongst the creatures of the night
Vampires, hypo . . .
