It is better to live on the house top
than to live in a house full of confusion.
Your life is worth much more than gold.
Excuse me while I light my spliff, good God I gotta take a lift.
A hungry mob is an angry mob.
When one door is closed, many more is open.
Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny.
Some people say great God come from the sky take away everything and make everybody feel high, but if you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time.
The more you accept herb, the more you accept rastafari.
Say you just can't live that negative way
You know what I mean
Make way for the positive day
Cause it's a new day.
We JAH people can make it work.
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Wisdom is better than silver and gold.
One love, one heart,
Let's get together and feel alright.
All dese governments and dis this and that, these people that say they're here to help, why them say you cannot smoke the herb? Herb... herb is a plant, you know? And when me check it, me can't find no reason. All them say is, 'it make you rebel'. Against what?
Don't worry about a thing,
'Cos every little thing is gonna be alright.
Every day the bucket a-go a well, one day the bottom a-go drop out.
We don't have education, we have inspiration; if I was educated I would be a damn fool.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
So, no woman, no cry.
Today, people struggle to find what's real. Everything has become so synthetic that a lot of people, all they want is to grasp onto hope.
Judge not, before you judge yourself.
Judge not, if you're not ready for judgment.
