Hey yo, hold up, hold up, hold up Gung, Javi, whaddup? Let's check this out Right here Hear this Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree Discussing things as they are set to be Said one to the others, "now listen you two There's a strange rumor that can't be true They say man was descended from a noble race But the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Or her baby to ruin their lives" The monkeys drift his mind Well educated fools they a ruin the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Them steal all the Africans' diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna Federal reserves And then Rasta fuck it up and incite riot Warn them fi cool and we did warn them fi quiet Now them hear the kick drum, the snare, and the hi-hat Load up them belly with some copper-shot diet Imagine after so much acting and riots What a revolutionary situation requires Them fi come tear off unno face with pliers Surround them ends with all some burning tires Round up them friends and put them pon trials Until them send the reparation dollars Warning to all the political scholars Political thieves and political liars Political cocaine and gun suppliers The whole of them a go down inna flames and fires When unno better fly out like some frequent flyers Bound to feel the wrath of the real punk gonyas Hey, don't fuck yourself next time you reach out to budget The government is a poor people, a judge it Them bring the guns but the youths them a buss it Burn them skeleton weh lock up inna closet Wipe out them species and all them inhabits With a whole series of pain and havoc Nah clean off feces fi money, prefer grab it Them make me resort to violence, the place get led up Somebody nah live up, somebody going dead up Blow! Whole of the garment them red up Blow! Terran apartment get bled up Didn't you get ample warning? Say, poor people fed up Until every morning them try hold them head up Emperor Selassie calling youths them fi dread up Babylon is falling, gun nozzle bend up Releasing the whole of the youth them weh pen up Well educated demons have ruined the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Them steal all the Africans' diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna Federal reserves The Rasta man them fuck it up and we go incite riot Warn them fi cool and we did warn them fi quiet Now them hear the kick drum, the snare, and the hi-hat Load unno belly with a copper-shot diet Check it now Junior Gong, that Junior bang and beat up Babylon and Vatican Me no come yah fi praise up no pagan Me no come yah fi dig up no batty man See them a come boost up Satan For a chat all about the good weh it want Tell them say, "Don, them late, unno man" Who them fi come debate the sound? Try jump them instigated wrong Injustice nah go last too long Sit down 'way pon your enemy And politician, man a go bust the pan Them hide the truth and a kill we with them brainwashed education Poor people across the world, this is a special dedication Africans and Israelites, don't lose out no meditation See them a come with racism, nah support segregation Nah go stand there inna fit them clique and them congregation How them run this country and how much them rob up the station? That's why them ban the song Them Marley one just show me make a stand Check this clarification, yo Well educated fools they a ruin the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Them steal all the Africans' diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna Federal reserves Well educated fools they a ruin the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Them steal all the Africans' diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna Federal reserves Well educated fools, educated demons, and educated fools Educated fools, educated fools, educated demons, and educated fools Minutes after minutes, I see hour after hour How them treat the people them nasty and sour This is warlord style, me as black Noah 'Cause I represent Black Power, well Almighty God inna the spiritual tower A long time me know some only come to devour Them have mi people them a shout, "Power and shower" A trick them with them rice and flour You know, me respect Rastafarians, me respect churchgoer And them fi know say, poor people a no bowcat nor bower Fire and flame me bring fi all them drunk crower And that me want the whole of them fi know yah And I heard man came from sands and other molecules Way before bodies and barbecues With a good side and a bad side they still argue through Before scheming and thieving and dreaming of gleaming and fiending Even before Adam and Even even Before it was about being the nicest Or whose diamonds that are priceless B.C. around to Tutankhamen and Isis On the continent of Africa, pass out and try to create a character Soul of shit on Earth is magical Then the strangers came from the boat with the ropes Chains that felt strange, they called It the slave game, the game changed They had shackles like assholes to bloodclot So nowadays a whip preventor is a thug's Glock Seen them rape and kill our children and women, the villains The pilgrims taught the black man how To kill men, let's keep it real then You can't harm me or scar me, respect, call me History's priority with the Marleys Marley, Marley, Marley, Marley, Ma-Ma-Marley
