I'm sure it was on the 24th of september
than was the day this incident happened, I remember


my brethrens were all $$#embled in one of all (inna the yard)
minding ther own personality (of I quality)


babylon then came along (have you just seen)
with the forces of brutality


licks and kicks and boxes
right to my brethrens' chapter
licks and kicks and boxes

right to my sisters' faces

what they did, that was meant to be
for it is the fulfilment of the holy prophecy


oh jah, I know you stay there around seeing
what they did, that was meant to be

so let them be brought to shame and confusion

for what they did without a cause

(licks and kicks and boxes)

on the 24th night of september 1976
(licks and kicks and boxes)
