Oh, yeah!
Alright..

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me, when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
Psalm 34:17

So as sure as the sun, will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Psalm 9:3


Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me, underground
Psalm 106:42

And they think that they have got the battle won
Psalm 35:25

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Luke 23:34

'Cause as sure as the sun, will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all

Oh, yeah!
Yeah!

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Psalm 88:5

Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun, will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Yeah, the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Yeah, the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all..
