Culture - Two Sevens Clash

Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash
Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash

My good old prophet Marcus Garvey prophesied, say
"St. Jago de la Vega and Kingston is gonna meet"
And I can see with mine own eyes
It's only a housing scheme that divide

Wat a liiv an bambaie - it dread
When the two sevens clash
Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash, hmm-hmm, yeah

Look up a cotton tree out by Ferry police station
How beautiful it used to be
And it has been destroyed by lightning
Earthquake and thunder, I say, what?

Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash - it dread
Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash

I take a ride sometimes
On Penn Overland and Bronx
And sometimes I ride on bus X-82, say what?

Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash
Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash

Marcus Garvey was inside of
Spanish Town district Prison
And when they were about to take him out
He prophesied and said
"As I have passed through this gate
No other prisoner shall enter and get through"
And so it is, until now
The gate has been locked, seh what?

Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash - it dread
Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash - it bitter, bitter, bitter

Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash - a man a go feel it
Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash - you better do right

Wat a liiv an bambaie
When the two sevens clash..

Note:

"Wat a liiv an bambaie" - means literally, "What is left for by and by" "What will be left", when "the two sevens clash".
It was believed that on July 7th 1977 (7-7-'77) something apocalyptic would happen.

St. Jago de la Vega is today called Spanish Town.
