Burning Spear - Not Guilty

The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty
The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty

I've been following
All these great foreigners footsteps
I've been following
All these great foreigners footsteps

Foreigners like
Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Foreigners like
Honourable Mr. Malcom X
Foreigners like
Honourable Martin Luther King

Its they who paved the way for I and I
So therefore I and I could be recognized

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

Marcus Garvey was the first Rastaman, from Jamaica
And Malcom X was the American Rastaman
Martin Luther King, he was a Rastaman

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

They criticize the man's philosophy
But they should remember, he set an example
The red, the black an' green - Marcus original
The red, the black an' green - Marcus original

The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty
The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty

Some people want you to be ignorant
And lack of speech and live in fear
I was only following
All these great foreigners footsteps
The first voices of my people

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty
The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty

Oh no, no, Mr. and Ms jury
Use your discretion, I am not guilty

The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and I am not guilty..
