Givin' out my warning!

Now you rich people listen to me
Weep and wail over the miseries
That are coming, coming up on you
James 5:1


Your riches have rotted away
And your clothes have been eaten by moth
James 5:2

Your gold and silver, is covered with rust
And this rust will be witness against you
And eat up your flesh like fire
You have piled up your riches, in these last days
James 5:3


But heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, one of these days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, that's what Marcus says

Your life here on earth have been filled
With luxury and pleasure
You have made yourself fat, for the day of slaughter
James 5:5

You've not paid the men that work in your fields
The cries of those that gather your crops
Have reached the ears of Jah, Jah Almighty
James 5:4


Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, one of these days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, that's what Marcus says

Dog up a Beverley Hills
A eat T-bone steak an' drink cornflakes
While poor people, in the ghetto
A rake an' scrape to get a cake

(..)

Be patient, my brother, be patient
As a farmer is patient, as he waits for the autumn
And the spring rains to water his crops
James 5:7

You also must be patient, and keep your hopes up high
Happy are those who greatest desire, is to do what Jah Jah require
James 5:8


Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, one of these days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, that's what Marcus says
Bald head a go roll down Sandy Gully, one of these days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully, that's what Marcus says

I say; you look, you look, you look and you can't see..
I said; you listen, you listen, you listen and you can't hear..
Isaiah 42:20;
Matthew 13:13-14;
Mark 4:12
