Hand Cuff

Hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off my hand
Hey mister Babylon
Said I'm an upful-living Rastaman

I was just trodding in from the woods
With my pocket filled with candy goods
Now suddenly, guess what happened to me
Said I rode into your state of emergency

So, hey mister Babylon
Look what you've done to me
Hey mister Babylon
Now I'm a reproach among all my enemy
Hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off the brethren's hand
Hey mister Babylon
'Cause I'm an upful-living Rastaman

I was just trodding in from the woods, Lord
(walla-walla-woh)
With my pocket filled with candy goods
(walla-walla-woh)
But suddenly, guess what happened to me
(walla-walla-woh)
Said I rode into your state of emergency (walla-walla-woh)

So, hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off my hands
Hey mister Babylon
Said I'm an upful-living Rastaman
Hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off the brethren's hand
Hey mister Babylon
Said he's an upful-living dreadlocks one

Hey mister Babylon
Hey mister Babylon...Hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off my hand
Hey mister Babylon
Said I'm an upful-living Rastaman

I was just trodding in from the woods
With my pocket filled with candy goods
Now suddenly, guess what happened to me
Said I rode into your state of emergency

So, hey mister Babylon
Look what you've done to me
Hey mister Babylon
Now I'm a reproach among all my enemy
Hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off the brethren's hand
Hey mister Babylon
'Cause I'm an upful-living Rastaman

I was just trodding in from the woods, Lord
(walla-walla-woh)
With my pocket filled with candy goods
(walla-walla-woh)
But suddenly, guess what happened to me
(walla-walla-woh)
Said I rode into your state of emergency (walla-walla-woh)

So, hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off my hands
Hey mister Babylon
Said I'm an upful-living Rastaman
Hey mister Babylon
Take the cuff from off the brethren's hand
Hey mister Babylon
Said he's an upful-living dreadlocks one

Hey mister Babylon

Hey mister Babylon...
