[Intro]
Uhuh
Bwoy, to the amount of fire weh a burn, storm build up all inna the sea
You nuh see wha' a gwan?
A pure rain, nearly wash we out
But, it's a good thing we're God blessed
Because hear wha' gwan now
[Coro]
You see the fire burn
A word without works
Fire burn up the obeah man church
Fire burn
Unuh better learn
Anuh everything out deh you fi burn
Fire burn
A word without works
Fire burn up the obeah man church
Fire burn
Unuh better learn
Anuh everything out deh you fi burn
[Verso 1]
Imagine, you dress up in your latest wear
Put on your Versace 'cause a tight pants they wear
You come out, you hear a Rasta man say, "Bun down a queer!"
You feel like you waan disappear
Imagine, big dance a keep down inna the square
Woman inna Moschino and the tallest hair
She come out, she hear a Rasta man say, "Bun a false hair!"
She ask herself if she a deer
Imagine, you a come from Savla Mar
See a Rasta man tired, you know say him a walk far
Offer him a drive and him say
"Cool yah star, you nuh see say Rasta bun up her car"
Eeh?!
[Coro]
You see the fire burn

[Verso 2]
Youth!
You waan get a Rasta man vest
Inna him turban and him robe and him don't got no sense
Him come out, him hear a bawl head say, "Bun down a dread!"
Then you woulda know who Jah bless
Well!
Just the other day, a Rasta crash up on the hill
Go a hospital and doctor's work pon him
Them give him a prescription and them send him fi go fill
The pharmacist say, "Sir...Bun down a pill!"
Just the other day nuh inna Pablo's me walk
The Rasta dem buy down two curtain cloth
Dem come out, some little youth nah take no talk
Dem say, "Bun down a tie-head, and no laugh!"
"Fast!"
[Coro]

[Verso 3]
Nuff of dem a bun up, but dem soon catch a fire
Nuff a bun foreign, dem a frequent flyer
Nuff of dem a fight and a die fi a dollar
Nuff of dem a bun waste fire
From you bun the Dragon, well, you mustn't go Japan
And if you bun the Eagle, well, no go Uncle Sam
Wha' you a do with the Queen's money inna your hand?
Try leggo that, Rasta man!
And help me sing-
[Coro]

Fire burn
A word without works
Fire burn up the obeah man church
