Culture - Iron Sharpen Iron

Mmmm
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
Do bada do bada day
La la la la la la la day ba
Do bada do bada day, say

When you gonna dig a pit, I tell you, my brother
Don't dig one, always dig two
When you gonna dig a pit, I tell you, my brother
Don't dig one, always dig two

Be careful of the things you do
The everyday words you speak
You walk on the streets
You run up your mouth
You want to see your brother
Be a prisoner always, never mind

The countenance of one man brighten up another
Iron sharpen iron
The countenance of one man brighten up another, yes
Iron sharpen iron, say

Sha la la la la la la la la la la

The countenance of one man brighten up another, yes
Iron sharpen iron, say

When you gonna dig a pit, I tell you, my brother

Trial road
Tribulation will belong to I
Trod on, my brother, trod on
Natty dread get the hardest work
To do all the time yes
Trod on, my brother, trod on, hey

Trod on, my brother, trod on
All we got to do is trod
Straight to Zion road
Trod on, my brother, trod on

When you gonna dig a pit, I tell you, my brother
Don't dig one, always dig two
Rejoice
When you gonna dig a pit, please be careful
Don't dig one, always dig two..
