Educated Fools |
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 |
