"Nah Mek Dem Get The Better", a phrase in the jamaican dialect of "Patois", litereally means "won't let them get the better of us". Meant as a motivating appeal to the listeners faith in a modern world full of turmoil, it aims at one's sense of resistance and gives assurance, that ultimate justice will eventually prevail. Paired with a new music video clip from his recent trip to Ethiopia, Uwe Banton also shares breathtaking footage with imressions from the land of origins, its capitol Addis Abeba and the ancient holy city of Lalibela.

Filmed on location in Addis Abeba and Lalibela, Ethiopia in November 2025

Lyrics and music by Uwe Banton

Hail Rasta!
Is tell wi tell dem long time enuh!
So nobody no fi surprise
A Rastafari stand alone in dis ya judgement, yow

(chorus)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy (coulda never I down, no)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (no, no, no, no)
Can't you see this world is going crazy (stand firm in dis ya judgement)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (coulda never I down, no)
Can't you see this world is going crazy – (a good over evil, you know)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (like David slew Goliath)
Can't you see this world is going crazy

(Verse 1)
Alright,
Tell me what kind of a stunt dem a pull off
You no see seh dem a provoke JAH JAH wrath
When their aiming at JAH son and JAH daughters
To snatch at their souls, and to deceive their hearts
JAH JAH see dem a come, right from the start
It's better to be wise, not just to be smart
So better you go till the soil, give JAH Ises all the while
Just wanna see the children smile

(chorus)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Can't you see this world is going crazy
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy

(verse 2)
And after all that is right and wrongfully said and done
There's nothing really new under JAH sun
All has been there since time begun, since time begun, ooh, since time begun
So in this, my brother let's not be mistaken
'Cause there's no need for us to feel forsaken
'Cause in JAH glory we must fully be awaken, awaken, awaken, yeah

(chorus)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy (can't you see, can't you see now?)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Can't you see this world is going crazy (this world is going crazy)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (wi haffi stand firm)
Can't you see this world is going crazy (alright!)
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no
Can't you see this world is going crazy
Wi nah mek dem get de better a wi, no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Can't you see this world is going crazy
