Bob Marley's Philosophy #3

Babylon system is the vampire, yea! Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!

Live if you want to live

If you are the big tree, We are the small axe Sharpened to cut you down, (well sharp) Ready to cut you down

We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread

You're gonna lively up yourself And don't be no drag, You lively up yourself cause reggae is another bag

You lively up yourself and don't say no You're gonna lively up yourself cause I said so

They say your feet is just too big for your shoes

I've been down on the rock for so long, I seem to wear a permanent screw But-a I - I'm gonna stare in the sun, Let the rays shine in my eyes

Them belly full but we hungry A hungry mob is an angry mob A rain a fall but the dirt it tough A pot a cook but you no 'nough

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead Run come crucify the dread

To divide and rule could only tear us apart; In everyman chest, mm - there beats a heart.

There's work to be done, So let's do it-a little by little: Rise from your sleepless slumber We're more than sand on the seashore, We're more than numbers

if you are living in a glass house do not throw stones

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet... Make you want to move your dancing feet...

You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time

Don't worry about a thing, 'cos ervey little thing is gonna be all right

How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?

They made their world so hard, every day we got to keep on fighting... They made their world so hard, every day the people are dying

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon, so when the Man comes there will be no, no doom
