Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to,
All along dem day?
Well I run to the rock,
"Please hide me". I run to the rock,
"Please hide me". I run to the rock,
"Please hide me, Lord, All along dem day".
But the rock cried out,
"I can´t hide you". The rock cried out,
"I can´t hide you". The rock cried out,
"I ain´t gonna hide you guy, all along dem day".
I said, "Rock, what´s a matter with you rock?

So I run to the river,
It was bleedin´. I run to the sea,
It was bleedin´. I run to the sea,
It was bleedin´, all along dem day.
So I run to the river,
It was boilin´. I run to the sea,
It was boilin´. I run to the sea,
It was boilin´, along dem day.
So I run to the lord,
"Please hide me lord
Don´t you see me prayin´?
Don´t you see me down here prayin´?"
But the lord said,
"Go to the devil". The lord said,
"Go to the devil."
He said, "Go to the devil, all along dem day".
So I ran to the devil,
He was waitin´. I ran to the devil,
He was waitin´. Ran to the devil,
He was waitin´, all on that day.
I cried:
“POWER!!!!!!!!” (Power to da Lord) [8x]
“Bring down!” (Power to da lord), [4x]
“POWER!!!” (Power to da lord) [12x]
