Duppy Conqueror by The Gladiators Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1980

[Chorus]
Yes, me friends, friends, me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend, me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again

[Verse 1]
The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me
They try to keep me down
But God keep me around

[Verse 2]
Yes, I've been accused
Wrongly abused now, oh
But through the power of the Most High
They got to turn me loose

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to call me out on the street now
I've got to reach Mount Zion, highest region
If you a bull-bucker, let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror
[Chorus]
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend, me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to call me out on the street now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
Highest region
If you a bull-bucker, let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror

[Chorus]
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend, me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again

[Verse 3]
Don't try to shock
Don't make your friends them lock
For I will cut you down
And I will turn you right
I'm cryin' now
[Chorus]
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend, me friend
Dem set me free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend, me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again
