| Me light a fire three days it a burn |
| When I lick the nyabingi drum the table have fi turn |
| Light a fire three days it a burn |
| When I lick the nyabingi drum the table have fi turn |
| Me light a fire three days it a burn |
| I lick the nyabingi drum the table have to turn |
| Me light a fire three days it a burn |
| Blast the nyabingi drum the table have to turn |
| How many more years must I stand up as a poor man |
| And hold the faith and a face this tribulation |
| How many more year must i stand out as a sufferer |
| Pure unto mouth as a flat foot hustler yes |
| I’m gonna put the fire in the way |
| And change all those days |
| Me light a fire three days it a burn |
| When I lick the nyabingi drum the table have fi turn |
