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)
|
To cut you down
|
Sharpened...
