"One Drop" is a 1979 Bob Marley song from the album Survival (1979) notable for exemplifying the one drop rhythm, one of the three main reggae drum rhythms, as performed by The Wailers' drummer Carlton Barrett. The song uses Marley's most militantly Rastafarian lyrics.

                                                    Lyrics

Feel it in the one drop
And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
The generation gap
Now feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Resisting against the system
I know Jah's never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong
I know Jah would never let us down
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no
They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting)
They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day the people are dying (dying), yeah
(It dread, dread) For hunger (dread, dread) and starvation
(Dread, dread, dread, dread)
Lamentation (dread, dread)
But read it in Revelation (dread, dread, dread, dread)
You'll find your redemption
And then you give us the teachings of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
A-you give us the teachings of His Majesty
A we no want no devil philosophy
Feel it in the one drop
And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
And we filing the gap
So feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Fighting against ism and skism
I know Jah's never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong
I know Jah would never let us down
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no
They made their world so hard
Every day (we got to keep on fighting) every day
They made their world so hard
Every day (the people are dying), eh!
(Dread, dread, it dread, dread) Oh, whoa! Make dem a-go on so:
(Dread, dread, it dread on dread) Ah, whoa!
(Dread, dread) I'll walk (it dread, dread)
Ah, whoa! Frighten dem, ah whoa!
(Dread, dread) Ah, whoa! Frighten dem, eh!
Give us the teachings of His Majesty (with a stick-up!)
We no want no devil philosophy. Can you hear?
Give us the teachings of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
We feel it in the one drop; you're lucky!
For we still got time to rap
And we're making the one stop
Let me tell ya: this generation gap
So feel this drumbeat
I tell you what: it's beating within
