[Chorus]
C Am Feel it in the one drop Dm G And we'll still find time to rap C Am We're making the one stop Dm G The generation gap C Am So feel this drumbeat Dm G As it beats within C Am Playing a rhythm Dm G Resisting against the system, ooh-we!
[Post-Chorus]
C Am Dm I know Jah'd never let us down G Pull your rights from wrong C Am Dm I know Jah'd never let us down G Oh no! oh no! oh no!

C Am Feel it in the one drop Dm G And we'll still find time to rap C Am We're making the one stop Dm G And we're filling the gap C Am So feel this drumbeat Dm G As it beats within C Am Playing a rhythm Dm G Fighting against ism and skism
