 F#F#      C#C#
I said I came upon this land
 BB         F#F#
To guide and teach my fellow man

Is why them don't, love his brother man

  F#F#       C#C#
Sometimes I sit and look around
  BB       F#F#
And listen to the daily sound
  F#F#          C#C#
But when I check, there's so much lies
  BB             F#F#
And that's the reason why the children cry

So the shitstem we got to rearrange
  F#F#          C#C#
And if there's obstacles in the road
 BB         F#F#
We got to throw them overboard

Chorus:
 C#C#       F#F#
Oh bumbo klaat! Oh ras klaat!

Oh bumbo klaat! Oh ras klaat!

Verse 4:
  F#F#          C#C#
One night, an evil spirit held me down
 BB         F#F#
I could not make one single sound
   F#F#         C#C#
Until Jah told me, "Son, use the Word"
  BB        F#F#
And now I'm as free as a bird
