Mash Dem Down

(album: Da Real Thing - 2002)

Ah, Just like in the older days
chop off the pagan head and let it roll away
Listen to what I got to say
Praise the King every day

[CHORUS:]
Come mek we go mash dem down nah lose
All dem ah wrinch and ah frown
stumble blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down cyah lose
Ah, Deal wit dem ras
because ah prove dem come ah prove
Me ah mash dem down nah lose
All dem ah wrinch and ah frown
stumble blocks will have to move
Come we go mash dem down nah lose
Kalonji come fi mash dem down nah lose
