[Intro]
|
[Bunny Wailer]
|
Hear this
|
Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree (really?)
|
Discussing things as they are said 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 ascended 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 monkeys drift is mine (that's right)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
[Damian Marley]
|
Well educated fools they have ruined di world
|
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
|
Dem steal all di 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]
|
[Damian Marley]
|
Imagine after so much chantin and preyers
|
But a revolutionary situation requires
|
Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers
|
Surround dem ends wid 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
|
Didn't 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 dread up
|
Babylon is fallen
|
Gun nozzle bend up
|
Releasing di whole of di youth dem weh pen up
|
|
[Chorus]
|
[Damian Marley]
|
Well educated Demons they have ruined di world
|
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
|
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
|
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
|
And Rastaman dem fuck it up and we go 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 the copper shot diet
|

Well educated fools they have ruined di world
|
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls

[Verse]
|
[Treach]
|
Well I heard that man came from sands and other molecules
|
Way before bodies and barbecues
|
With a good side a bad side and still argue too
|
Before schemin and thievin and dreamin of gleamin and feenin
|
Even before Adam and Eve and even
|
Before it was about being the nicest or whose diamonds that are priceless
|
B.C. around Tutankhamun and Isis
|
On the continent of Africa
|
| Pass o |
