Shaggy - Forgive Them Father - Текст песни

Them say money is the root of all evil

But a no money

Some people a kill people little or nothing

Some say them a gangster but a studio gangster


Well now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly

Little youth with the 45 and him say do or die

Now him muma she cry water run from her eye

And she remember when him was little bit and oh so shy


Chorus:


Forgive them father cause they know not what they have done

To save them from destruction gave his only begotten son

Like them no understand say revelation a come so watch the heathen them a run


Verse 1:

Too much fuss and fight(BOO)

And that is not right

You no can't blow breath in a man but still that you want take life

Innocent youth die bury a next guy

And him muma wool her belly and ask God why?

Well no ask me no question I tell you no lie

It's about time the world start to realize

This a revelation and it's a serious time

Put your a hand inna the air and pray to the most high


Chorus


Cha


Verse 2:


Youth man a beg and you fi put down your gun

Me no want fi see another youth tumble down

This is reality no play dumb dumb

Some a them a thing 'bout dollars having a large sum

Money is the root of all evil if so me no want none

Wicked man them a heathen fi them fire burn

Whole a them shall perish inna the wicked kingdom

This is Shaggy one of Jah Jah son


Chorus


Verse 3:


Yow! yow! yow! stop talking yow

Mislead the youth to shoot them one another down

Muma what this you're talking pure foolishness

Can't sit down eat me Sunday ackee and salt fish

Can't use me tounge and lick out me pyrex dish

As me sit down and a wish me mouth start get peckish

Have fi eat me dry bread and drink the water well quick


Chorus


Now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly

Little youth with the 45 and him say do or die

Now him muma she cry water run from her eye

And she remember when him was little bit and oh so shy

Watch it
