The world ah go round and around and around

You got to hope and pray
That Father God Him ah go turn all yuh

When Almighty Father ah go judge unnu
And yuh gotta answer fi di things yuh do

Seek salvation before it gets too late
Only Jesus can make it straight

You di Aristocrat
Stop sell di youth an dem poison trap
Ah you Mr. Politician
Time fi make a new reputation uh huh
Corruption is the heart of the root
Heart ah di tree

You got to stop play the fool
You got to play unnu role
You are the leaders
And we need you to lead us

Mr you can live your life
Any way you want to 
But the things that you do in the shadows ah

The world ah go round and around and around
What goes up mi seh must come down
Seek salvation before it gets too late
Only Jesus can make it
Make it straight

Only Jesus can make it straight
Mmm
