Burning Spear
Not Guilty
[Verse 1]
The crime they want to charge I-man for
It's not possible, and I am not guilty
The crime they 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 honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Foreigners like honorable Mr. Malcolm X
Foreigners like honorable Martin Luther King
Its they who payed the way for I and I
So therefore I and I could be recognized

[Chorus]
Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them

[Bridge]
Marcus Garvey was the first Rastaman from Jamaica
And Malcolm X was the American Rastaman
Martin Luther King, he was a Rastaman

[Chorus]
Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them
[Verse 2]
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 they 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 off speech, and live in fear
I was only following all these great foreigners' footsteps
The first voices of my people

[Chorus]
Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them, Jah send them

[Verse 3]
The crime they want to charge I-man for
It's not possible, and I am not guilty
The crime they want to charge I-man for
It's not possible, and I am not guilty (Oh no)
It's not possible, I am not guilty (Oh no)
Mister and miss jury, use your discretion, I am not guilty
The crime they want to charge I-man for
It's not possible, and I am not guilty
