Educated Fools lyrics
INTRO spoken by Bunny Wailer
3 monkeys sittin' under a coconut tree Discussing things as they are set to be Said one to the others Now listen you two There's a strange rumor that can't be true They say man was descended from our noble race But the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Or her baby to ruin their lives YEAH, the monkey's drift is mine.
CHORUS
Educated fools they have ruined di world And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet
VERSE
Imagine after so much chantin and preyers But a revolutionary situation requires Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers Surround dem ends with all some burning tires Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials Until dem send di reparation dollars Warning to all di political scholars Political thieves and political liars Political cocaine and gun suppliers Di whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers Bound to feel the wrath of di real Bongonyahs Hey don't fuck yourself next time you read out di budget Di government case, ah poor people a judge it Dem bring di guns but di youths dem ah bust it Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabits With a warm series of pain and havoc Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it Dem mek mi resort to violence di race get lead up Somebody nah live up somebody goin dead up BLOW!! Whole ah di garment dem red up BLOW!! Car and apartment get bled up DidnÕt you get ample warning say poor people fed up And still every morning Dem try hold dem head up Emperor Selassie calling Youths dem fi dred up Babylon is fallen Gun nozzle bend up Releasing di whole of di youth dem weh pen up
CHORUS
Educated fools they have ruined di world And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet
VERSE (Bounty Killer)
CHORUS 2x
Educated fools they have ruined di world And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves Educated Goons Educated demons Educated mules Educated fools

Di youths dem saying justice ah weh dem really need overall Di way dem deal wid mankind.... All mi gyal start ball Justice ah weh di youths dem need overall Di way dem deal wid mankind

It Was Written lyrics
[feat. Stephen Marley, Capleton & Drag-On]
CHORUS (Stephen Marley)
It was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more It was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more
VERSE
Well did you know the pen Is stronger than the knife They can kill you once But they canÕt kill you twice Did you know destruction of the flesh Is not di ending to life Fear not of the anti-christ Did you know that I Exist before the earth And did you know my eyes Are window to the world Did you know you can't go ah Zion and ah wear jerry curls Can't tell di boys from di girls Your bodies just a vehicle Transporting the soul It's what's inside people Is beauty to behold Fear not of evil Every day dem flesh it grow old Changes of the times take a toll
CHORUS
VERSE (Capleton)
BRIDGE
A vester on his chest And Rastafari is his name A gift of everlasting life For us to all sustain Blessing that you all be got Lessons taught you all forgot Rasta call I shit you not Do you remember Elijah And his chariot of flames Same blood dat run thru my veins
VERSE (Capleton)
CHORUS
VERSE (Drag-On)
Watch for sticks and stones Stumbling blocks in piles Life is one big road Miles on top of miles So blessed be the soul That always remains a child And most people don't even smile There's a natural mystic Blowing in true the air So keep it realistic And always be aware The truth is crying out And itÕs so loud and so clear But most people won't even hear Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere And with so much confusion Can one be happy here The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share But some would rather to be so unfair
CHORUS

Catch A Fire lyrics
(Verse 1 - Stephen Marley) Every time I hear the crack of a whip My blood runs cold I remember on the slave ship How they brutalized our very soul Today they say that we are free Only to be chained in poverty Good God I think it's illiteracy Only a machine that makes
(Chorus - Stephen Marley) Slave driver, your table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned Slave driver, your table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned
(Verse 2 - Damian Marley) Now dem take up the ghetto youths and gi dem pure magazine And take up another set and gi dem pure 16 And play dem dirty games of bloody plots and schemes And watch dem like a show ah harbor view big screen And con mi brother dem and go buy dem cream And turn dem inna police and bring dem in pon dem team Ah wah dis father Him drive 10 grand worth ah government Lada And fight against the ones who have the same forefather Him next door neighbor All weed we charge for We children slaughter Ah we dem want murder Just read di Observer Right now the city can't get no absurder After 400 years and whole heap ah brown sugar We ambush we brother And go on like never Used to plan slavery revolt inna di bush dem together "We change just like di weather"
(Verse 1 - Stephen Marley) Every time I hear the crack of a whip My blood runs cold I remember on the slave ship How they brutalized our very soul Today they say that we are free Only to be chained in poverty Good God I think it's illiteracy Only a machine that makes
(Chorus - Stephen Marley) Slave driver, your table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned Slave driver, your table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned
(Verse 3 - Damian Marley) Sons of slaves chant down sons of di slave driver Nah spear slave rider neither And if dem could dem would tax you pon saliva How much more must we die for The ones in the car while we're standing at the terminus The government bogus, they don't work for us Instead dem chain and whip we with domestic fuss And guns and aids and drugs Cause most of di youths wid di schooling dem have Can't get no money from legitimate jobs Then you wonder why dem grab chain and bags You influence the youths fi turn gays and fags Or else dem can't afford not even torn up rags But table ah turn as mi turn table spun Di fire we ah catch up all a blaze and ah bun Dat's why any time you see Rasta you run
(Chorus - Stephen Marley) Slave driver, your table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned Slave driver, your table has turned Catch a fire, so you could get burned
(Verse 4 - Damian Marley) We nuh want no Babylon government Weh ah burn down ganja man tent And den ah come wid dem one bag ah tax argument When we can't pay light bill and rent Mi sight dem ah lead ghetto youths every which part dem went And ah pure wrong corner dem bent So next time, dem pass thru you and your crew Don't give dem no encouragement, a yo! Just start run dem out and start bun dem out Ah your environment, a yo! We want know bout ah every red cent out ah Poor people money dem spent and then We want know down who pay di bills When the prime minister car dent, a yo! We want know when dem ah come reposes All these guns and drugs they've sent
(Repeat Chorus until end) |

Born To Be Wild lyrics
[Chorus] Said she's born to be wild And she can't be tamed All she wants in life is fortune and fame So she keeps on moving Moving right along Even though she knows Deep down inside She knows something was wrong
No idle jubee dem couldn't Cotch pon my pillow Weh a love man for nike An ah love man for fila Dat's not the ways of Anciento war gorilla Me rather den to save all my sasaparilla
On a lonesome breezy Sunday morning This maiden came to town Me have to blick a sound How she so cute And plus so sexy and so round Sunlight catch her skin and lord It good from head to ground Next candidate me see wh fit Fi wear mi crown And such tender smiles amaze me The way that she looks Sunday night She should be having my baby My baby The pleasure was all mine Like yesterday news it's only for a time Always on the go Cause she live a life ah crime She dont' want no man fi mind it Di Muffin say dat he couldn't believe I was living so blindly
[Chorus]
Well no Shandy Stricktly imported tequila Vintage brandy Skunk sensemilia Rubies and roses Diamond collar Never me for a money Nor a penny nor a dollar She can't go to London Without visa Me can't biuld me spliff dem Without rizzla Dm say look out the door And you know di weather Me start put two An two together
First class flights And she drinks the most expensive wines When she can't maintain Her lifestyle up on the minumum wages She needs the coil And just like a stubborn mule I would tell that is all she's worth Well tha smuggling and trafficking Of ilegal substances is her line of work Me say a good woman ration Most of di gyal dem Get so caught up inna fashion Love vanity Dem seem dem love it with a passion Start to used dem body For some dirty profession Seem like dem need Spiritual supervision Ital craft And a ital vision Righteous path And a righteous decision Instead of the Materialistic religion Else there's gonna be Crash course and collision
[Chorus]
Well the it's all history Me go up on a ends Fi chack a one jubilee Di way she rub me down And make me feel so nice Me say haffi left And go ah studio go voice Ariana please stay home tonight Ariana please don't take that flight Smuggling di drugs weh dem supply To di poor Destruction of my people Well then she's got to go Tell her nah fi mix up inna Those drugs before She said she want fi go up on A smuggling tour She missing gangsta parcel Dem say her skull fi bore She don't have all di dollars Weh fi ever the score But she wanna run Her own drug store
[Chorus]

(Verse 1 - Damian Marley) Well den a nuff ghetto youths dat got no place to go Live night and day roaming in the ghetto Most ghetto youths ain't got a place of their own Give dem some place so they can call there home And then most politician telling poor people lies And can't give no answer when di poor people cry We get ignorant we bingy drum dem go rise Gimme some space so I can burn those guys Well most politicians fighting gainst Rasta troops And making mistake and a tell poor people oops See dem a see dem a flex like some dapa's and doops Gimme some space to burn di nincompoops Why should ghetto youths dem have to war over cheese Wid these big machines that you bring from over seas It burn up dem skin like some unwanted disease Gimme some space so I can burn dem please Big fire stick weh all a mek certain sound Pure gun shot me a here a ring thru the town Everybody wanna be the modern day Al Capone Gimme some space so I can burn dem down Di youths dem a jump to every word that you said When gun shot a bust fi you pickny nuh dead Dem vex true we hail King Selassie instead Gimme some space and mek I burn dem red Nuff gyal a say dem want fi come a stage show And spar wid di stars so dem can jam a front row Well nuff gyal a love man just fi di doe Gimme some space and mek I burn those hoes

(Verse 2 - Damian Marley) Weh the thugs dem are ready fi di conquering Lion of Judah is now wondering How some punks stand up one side pondering How di youths find roof to live under in And shine like a diamond twinkling When they see me and di gyal dem mingling Better watch how you group and singling Better mind who you feel and fingling We don't join goose and gandering We don't join chumpas squandering And the sound of the album cramping him Well we don't play game when dem ramping in Better watch as my timb boots stomping in Trampling, di camp dem camping in And ah burn out the vampire vamping in Wi di, red burning lamp within After so much sleep and slumbering Is now wonder di impress dumping him Youngest veteran will be pumping in Thumping in, the club dem jumping in, so wah Tell the people your bumpin in, say wah All mi colleagues dem chumping in After sleepless nights of sampling The results can be life gambling Now don't stop by nor stumble in The jungle where the royal a rumble in Someone cookie jar will be crumbling And we don't mek room fi no fumbling Well, carefull how your entire in Certain after dark adventuring Cause you might have to be surrendering Mi sey all those jewels and Benjamin's Weh di thugs dem weh ready fi di wrangling When the real Gideon is untangling And a drive inna prestige handling And a practice punk dismantling And a trod go a Binghi di thanks giving Fi go hail up di elders skankin in Fi guidance you thru the world weh di punks live in Burn the church weh di popes and munks live in Well judgment fi dem tampering When dem grudge cause a me di gyal pampering Mr. Bean just find and brind her in When dem can't find help nor hindering Cause di man wid di old big blunt a role Deh yah now fi go burn down bumbo hole Wid enough fire power fi di winter cold Weh nuh rise till the revolution unfold

Waterfall or what-have-you, yuh understand? Wash all mi(my) locks an' t'ing. Pick all fruits straight off a the tree an' know seh yeah, fresh munch. Morning hours an' t'ing. Give all praises and ray.
So that is why this is 'Half Way Tree' cause this is where, this is where the sewers will meet the rivers yu know? And the skyscrapers will meet the mountains. You know what I mean? yeah the streets will meet the beach an' yuh know wha' a mean? the city will come down to the island, and best of both worlds. Cause man have to know the earth, cause the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. Selah.

CHORUS (Jimmy Cozier)
When love, takes me over Its paradise When love, takes me over It's always nice
VERSE
Touch pon di ends And a incense, herbs and oils Scrapbook newspaper Clippings and files A view of di countryside Remind me of nine miles Where di trees are green And di people smile After few water crackers And some warm milo tea Rub massage home made Coco butter skin cream Interior design of Ights gold and green And the vibes are pure And the thoughts are clean
She collect her own Dividends weekly So mi know ah no money Mek she seek me Cool me down And tie mi knotty dem neatly Draw close While whispering sweetly Mi teach her each and everytime That she link me We haffi bun A five bills bag a stinky True she roots and culture She win me I even had to Introduce her to Cindy

Well I was sitting By an open fire place In my flavorite dungarees I play a few strums Upon my guitar And It sounds so good to me Big skunky blunt a blaze And plus My flavorite stooks beside me I glance over Just so I could see her But my locks got in the way
Cool breeze a blow Thru the weeping willow She always leave A fragrance on my pillow When I'm ready She will always follow Me to the place of My old sleepy hollow Soft silky voice is So sacred and hollow Cause out spoken noisy Streams run shallow Reach to the stars When I launch the Apollo Could a land up ah Sao Paulo
CHORUS

Stand A Chance lyrics
[feat. Yami Bolo & Treach]
Where there's, more hungry mouths Than food to eat It's where the homeless Roam the street Where broken glass And broken dreams Are shattered and scattered Amongst debris Sufferation wrath And still they laugh And dream of a mansion Above the half No one to speak Upon there behalf Now tell me do they stand a chance? Where there's, more food Than mouths to feed Where you find those who Claim to lead Because of all their personal greed They always want more than they need They don't help those Below the half Instead they stand aside and laugh As if it's all we'll ever ask When will they make a change?
CHORUS (Yami Bolo)
Children lift your heads To the one Who create the sun My children And your light will come shinning again Show the world Jah love is okay When we rise and greet the sun Lets give him thanks and praise

Illegal guns They roam the night In hungry hands Waiting to bite The first sign of Any food in sight Youths in the dark Searching for light Hard time they face Is not a choice Police curfew Is no surprise And with no one To be there voice Do they stand a chance? Where there's, more hungry mouths Then food to eat Where you find those who Claim to lead Because of all there personal greed They always want more than they need They don't help those Below the Ave Instead they stand aside and laugh As if it's all we'll ever ask When will they make a change?
VERSE
Its like a punk never check Or dem did forget Say a death We nature naughty Ah true mi go born uptown Tell dem fools don't cross me That's only where Cindy brought me And that's why they can't impress me With no boasty car Me know dat ah kill dem softly And then they're not Really even who they think they are They're not really moving crafty Mi get fi understand Say them plan dem faulty Well nuff a dem a twenty And favor forty Filthy rich big belly And hearty Di real Gideon will Be arriving shortly Rasta nuh beat Binghi Drum we claatt it We live longer Cause we food nuh salty We grow stronger And dem can't assault we So haile Rastafari love And exhalt it
