Gold vs the Right Things to Do |
Let me tell you 'bout the 'ting |
Come sit 'round the fire |
Me tell you where we come from |
Me tell you the story |
Some men wanna live like a banker |
Fill up the ship then pull up the anchor |
Pay the man, dem to come run and take ya |
Raas clot chain in a brain wash nature |
Joggin' in y’all clothes to the tailor |
Drop leg to the rhythm of the maker |
Mash up the bowl to the fassyhole sailor |
No rain’ll fall 'pon Babylon acre |
Zinc fence but me mind is a mansion |
They must suffer, I will still have a bashment |
Hit me with a cross but I’m still here dancin' |
Everything cook a curry like a champion |
In a jam, but the man, him a jammin' |
Original you should come follow fashion |
Me already don' seen what the future hold |
Enough gold for the dark arts and the chasms |
So big up your chest, like a skin teet in a bad man wagon |
No fear me a duppy assassin |
Make a wish me a dutchie Aladdin |
What them eyes desire for the earth strong |
Give thanks to the first gong |
Demand word like a bird song |
Iya self me a work pon |
Me gon tell ya bout the nation |
Gravelicious men in them wicked navigations |
Small up the slaves and stuff them in arrangement |
We the children of the first generation |
Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) |
Babylon (atat tat tat tat) |
Real mama (tat tat tat tat) |
Soon forward (atat tat tat tat) |
Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) |
Babylon (atat tat tat tat) |
Downpressed (atat tat tat tat) |
Jah bless (tat tat tat tat) |
All I got is gold, golden memories |
When I think about what you mean to me |
All I got is gold, golden memories |
When I think about what you did to me |
When I think about |
When I think about |
When I think about |
When I think about |
When I think about |
Respect |
Man dem come down from England |
Anyone comes for your kingdom |
Say 'em got enough Manilla for the yout' and the gal and the man would you |
bring some? |
Tell 'em why you embark, sit beside me |
Say him don’t want the likkle or the feisty |
Say him got enough liquor for the trip |
Nah worry about a thing now everyone irie |
Fuckery, mi nah wan' fi do it |
And the samfie man wan mi fi trade pickney |
For a quart, the baldhead must think me foolish |
Let me put a cutlass in this nuisance |
Why when only in a dream |
To the smell and the sound and the screams |
And the panic of a captain and a crew that don’t know what to do once a ship |
comes apart at the seams |
Got 'em ship gets pulled to the bottom |
By a group of men and women holdin' ropes |
With large hooks on the ends specifically designed for catchin' boats |
Crew in disbelief as they choke |
The weight of the chains on the slaves |
Pullin' down on what they think are they graves |
Afraid as they sink from the surface of the sea |
'Til a soft voice in the water tells them: «breathe» |
Fire burn |
Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) |
Babylon (atat tat tat tat) |
Real mama (tat tat tat tat) |
Some follow (atat tat tat tat) |
Fire burn (atat tat tat tat) |
Babylon (atat tat tat tat) |
Damn Prius (atat tat tat tat) |
Your bliss (tat tat tat tat) |
All I got is gold, golden memories |
When I think about what you mean to me |
All I got is gold, golden memories |
When I think about what you did to me |
