This is the way it's gonna be from now on.
Yes this is the way it's got to be from now on.
This is the storm and there won't be no calm.
Red lights are flashing so ring the alarm, ring the alarm.
I ain't taking no brutality from now on.
And you better let my people be from now on.

Tell me what would you do, tell me what would you say.
If we only had one hour before judgement day.
I'd say: Glory Hallelujah! Jah! What a lovely day!
Cause according to your works brother man you will surely get your pay.
Got to live an upright way.
And I just can't be led astray from now on!

So this is the way it's gonna be from now on.
Yes, this is the way it's got to be from now on.
What's to be Jah know will be from now on.
And it's got to be reality from now on.
Got to live an upright way.
And I just can't be led astray from now on!
