Redemption Song

[Verse 1: Lauryn Hill]

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill]

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption song

Redemption song

Redemption song

[Verse 2: Ziggy Marley, Lauryn Hill & Both]

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds!

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?

Yes, some say it's just a part of it

But, we've got to fulfill the book

[Chorus: Ziggy Marley, Lauryn Hill & Both]

Won't you help to sing

Another song of freedom?

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song

Redemption song

Redemption songs

[Bridge: Ziggy Marley]

Yeah, L. Boogie

[Verse 3: Lauryn Hill]

Yo, if they can stop this fruit

They would pop this route

Chop this fruit

Treat us like a prostitute

Knock this youth

See me in my cocky suit

God's recruit

From fallin' even God's salute

Tribal truth

Ja people can't be mute

Share my youth to Babylon can't regroup

Sing, to Babylon can't regroup

Sing, to Babylon can't regroup

[Verse 4: Ziggy Marley, Lauryn Hill & Both]

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

[Outro: Ziggy Marley, Lauryn Hill & Both]

Won't you help to sing

Another song of freedom, yeah

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption song

Redemption song (Haha)

Redemption song (Yeah)

Redemption song (Hey)

Redemption song
