Culture - Iron Sharpenth Iron (1981 version)
Doo bada doo bada day
La la la la la la la day ba
Doo bada doo bada day
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 brighteneth another
Iron sharpeth iron
The countenance of one man brighteneth another
Iron sharpeth iron
Although this road, so tickle and tawny
Trod on, my brother, trod on
(..)
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
The countenance of one man brighteneth another
Iron sharpeth iron
The countenance of one man brighteneth another
Iron sharpeth iron
So, 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
The hotter the battle, the hotter the battle
The sweeter the victory
The hotter the battle be, black man good ol' phrase say
Sweeter the victory
So, when you gonna dig a pit, I tell you, my brother
Don't dig one, always dig two
