Small Axe |
| Why boasteth thyself |
| Oh, evil men |
| Playing smart |
| And not being clever? |
| I said, you’re working iniquity |
| To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so) |
| But the goodness of Jah, Jah |
| I-dureth for-I-ver |
| So if you are the big tree |
| We are the small axe |
| Ready to cut you down (well sharp) |
| To cut you down |
| These are the words |
| Of my master, keep on tellin' me No weak heart |
| Shall prosper |
| And whosoever diggeth a pit |
| Shall fall in it, fall in it And whosoever diggeth a pit |
| Shall fall in it (… fall in it) |
| If you are the big tree, let me tell you that |
| We are the small axe, sharp and ready |
| Ready to cut you down (well sharp) |
| To cut you down |
| (To cut you down) |
| (To cut you down) |
| These are the words |
| Of my master, tellin' me that |
| No weak heart |
| Shall prosper |
| And whosoever diggeth a pit |
| Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it And whosoever diggeth a pit |
| Shall bury in it, uh (… bury in it) |
| If you are the big, big tree |
| We are the small axe |
| Ready to cut you down (well sharp) |
| To cut you down |
| If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that |
| We are the small axe |
| Ready to cut you down (well sharp) |
