A time to sow and a time to reap, yes, my friend
Ecclesiastes 3:2

The seed you sow, that's what you shall reap
Galatians 6:7

??? again
You light the fire, to burn this Nyah
But it no work out, you're just a weakheart

You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up
But it no work
For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene
You get a jerk
Far better put they trust in Jah
Shall like be Mount Zion I
That shall never removeth, iyah
But abideth for iver, Jah Jah
Psalm 125:1


The knife that stick the sheep
A go stick the goat, do you hear?
How you gonna feel when the knife is at your throat?
For sowing bring reaping, and reaping is harves'
The seed that you sow a yard that's what you shall reap, yeah

Do you hear?
Jah is I light and salvation, whom shall I fear?
Jah the protector of I life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1

Hypocrite inna broad daylight, parasite inna dim light
Dreadlocks in moonlight, baldhead at sunrise, oh

Jah Jah is I shepherd, I shall not want
Do you hear? Do you see?
Jah Jah is I shepherd I shall not want
Psalm 23:1


You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up
But it no work
For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene
You get a jerk, you get a jerk, it no work
You set your sprat to catch a whale
Little did you know
Jah put shackles on your trail
It didn't work
It couldn't work
Job 33:11

Note:

A 'sprat' is a type of small fish. 'A sprat to catch a whale' is therefore aiming at the impossible.
