Rock Stone |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| I say, Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone, was my pillow |
| And a man say |
| R-R-Rock stone was my pillow could not find place fi sleep |
| Pot dem empty we haffi find food fi eat |
| Everyday we terrorize by soldier and police |
| When the thing dem a drum and di thing dem a beat |
| From dem a play cowboy, and Indian, and Chief |
| From the first, to the third, straight up to seven street |
| One thing in a wi mind a fi tr&le di beast |
| And make it in a life, and inherit as the meek |
| Better the stone dem deh yah |
| Self employed, cannot get lay off |
| Mount a work mi have |
| Can’t even get a day off |
| Who did waan fi stop mi now dem find out seh dem way off |
| Alright, and mi seh one by one, one by one |
| One by one, wi stepping out a babylon |
| Then one by one, one by one |
| Hail King Selassie the conquering lion |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| I say, Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Sizzla Kalonji |
| Rock Stone, was my pillow (Stephen Ragga Marley, aha!) |
| Help us Jah |
| Take us from the slum |
| Never give up no matter what, strictly fiyah burn |
| Hail Rasta, take us from the slum |
| Never give up matter what |
| King Selassie I blessing come |
| Sufferation is thing could be no harder time |
| Got to widen your views, got to broaden your mind |
| What we face in the ghetto, nowhere else can you find |
| Hunger, Poverty, a system so unkind |
| As a matter a fact, there is an after shock |
| When the ground was my bed and my pillow was a rock |
| Try to make it through the system all the doors were lock |
| Yet nothing beats a try so I ain’t go stop |
| Mount a time they write a book on you |
| A set amount ah crap they’d ah put on you |
| Yet when yuh in the dirt they wouldn’t look on you |
| They would only scorn and wanna wipe the foot on yuh |
| So open up, Zion door |
| Ethiopia, Africa for sure |
| Liberate the poor, the poor, ehhh |
| Mi nah lie, true mi hail Selassie I dem wah fi war I |
| Read mi bible turn to peace and praise Tafari |
| Good bye Babylon goodbye, goodbye |
| Open up, zion door |
| Mount Zion Ethiopia for sure |
| Children of Israel, children of Israel, ehh |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| I say, Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone, was my pillow |
| Hear me now |
| Jah man me cool, nuh stumble like you |
| walk pon di street, me nuh gwaan for fool |
| arrive at the dance, di mic a mi tool |
| Eat pon table, sit inna stool |
| me black, me brown |
| me brown no black |
| ribs and mi chest, mi spine and mi back |
| Wait til you hear, when dis riddim drop |
| head yuh toe, yuh body a rock, from me pon di mic |
| Steve Marley ah chat, firm and strong |
| Doh step pon the lot |
| The peaceful, righteous, Rastaman |
| Rod of correction, inna him hand |
| Preachin' out to man and woman, give riches to King Solomon |
| Now, bass come out, and treble a top |
| Cap an no buck, an nuh buck a no cap |
| Sweetest singer, was Sugar Minott |
| Man a come in and ah give me a shot |
| Dracula turn inna v&ire bat |
| When him see sun, him cyah take dat |
| Eyes dem dark, fi use contact |
| I pon the mic, Raggamuffin a chat |
| fi mi head dread, me head it no plat |
| Nuh fraid ah no mouse, nuh fraid ah no rat |
| Pray to Jah, me never will stop |
| We hot no cold, wah cold nuh hot |
| Live in a house, no live in a flat |
| Up inna Zion, di righteious will top |
| Jah blow breeze, the devil cannot |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone was my pillow |
| I say, Rock Stone was my pillow |
| Rock Stone, was my pillow. |
