[Intro]
Dutty Babylon
Go down dutty Babylon
Dutty Babylon

Big up every prisoner
Big up every warder

Bayblon say, jail for me

Somebody tell the jury, Jah control me destiny
Bayblon say, jail for me
Bet the judge set bail for me
Somebody tell the jury, Jah control me destiny

[Verse 1]

And the police bwoy know inna him heart a the court time him a waste

Him ago hear say...

[Chorus]
Bayblon say, jail for me
Bet the judge set bail for me
Somebody tell the jury, Jah control me destiny
Bayblon say, jail for me
Bet the judge set bail for me
Somebody tell the jury, Jah control me destiny
