Not Guilty Songtext

von Burning Spear

The crime you want to charge
I-Man for, it's not possible,
And I am not guilty.
The crime you want to charge
I-Man for, it's not possible,
And I am not guilty.

I've been following all these
Great foreigners footsteps.
I've been following all these
Great foreigners footsteps.

Foreigners like honorable
Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Foreigners like honorable
Mr. Malcom X
Foreigners like honorable
Martin Luther King

Its they who payed
The way for I and I,
So therefore I and I
Could be recognized

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

Marcus Garvey was the first
Rastaman, from Jamaica.
And Malcom X was the
American Rastaman.
Martin Luther King,
He was a Rastaman.

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

They criticize the man's
Philosophy,
But they sould remember, he
Set an example.

The red, the black an green -
Marcus original.
The red, the black an green -
Marcus original.

The crime you want to charge
I-Man for, it's not possible,
And I am not guilty.
The crime you want to charge
I-Man for, it's not possible,
And I am not guilty.

Some people want you to
Be ignorant, and lack off speech
And live in fear.
I was only following all these
Great foreigners' footsteps, the
First voices of my people.

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

The crime you want to charge
I-Man for, it's not possible,
And I am not guilty.
The crime you want to charge
I-Man for, it's not possible,
And I am not guilty.

Mr. and Ms jury, use your
Discretion, I am not guilty
