INTRO: G    Am/  G   Am/


G                                 Am 
A time to sow and a time to reap, yes, my friend
G                                  
 The seed you sow, that's what you shall reap
       Am
in the end.
 C              D     C          D
 You light the fire, to burn this Nyah
  C         D           C          D
 But it no work out, you're just a weakheart

  G                                             Am
 You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up

 But it no work
 G                              Am
 For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene

 You get a jerk
C                     D
 Far better put they trust in Jah
  C                  D
 Shall like be Mount Zion I
 C                 D
 That shall never removeth, iyah
   C              D
 But abideth for iver, Jah Jah

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

 Do you hear?
C                               D
 Jah is I light and salvation, whom shall I fear?
  C                              D
 Jah the protector of I life, of whom shall I be afraid?
 G                              Am
 Hypocrite inna broad daylight, parasite inna dim light
 D                          Am
 Dreadlocks in moonlight, baldhead at sunrise, oh
  C                      D    
 Jah Jah is I shepherd, I shall not want
       
  C           D
 Do you hear? Do you see?
  C                      D
 Jah Jah is I shepherd I shall not want
 G                                             Am
 You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up
 
 But it no work
  G                            Am
 For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene
                   G             Am
 You get a jerk, you get a jerk, it no work
  G    
 You set your struggle (?)
 Am
 Little did you know
  G     
 Jah put shackles on your trail
  Am
 It didn't work
  G
 It couldn't work
