Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, hmm-mm-mm
Jah would never give the power to a baldhead
Numbers 6:5 Judges 13:5; Judg. 16:17; Leviticus 21:5; 1 Samuel 1:11; 2 Kings 2:23
Run come crucify the Dread
Mark 15:13; Luke 23:21; John 19:6
Time alone - oh, time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Time alone - oh, time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh, not the brothers
But the ones who set 'em up
Time alone - oh, time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Time alone - oh, time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Amos 9:2; Luke 10:15
(..)
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
sold my freedom 'round the world
Sold man to the ground
Sold man, took a man pride
Oh, children, weep no more!
Isaiah 30:19
Oh, my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Luke 19:4
Saw you settle the score
Oh, children, weep no more
Weep no more, children, weep no more
Jah would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the Dread
Time alone - oh, time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Time alone - oh, time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
