Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey Lyrics

Artist: Burning Spear

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Ska

  • Songwriters: Gregory Isaacs

Marcus Garvey's words come to pass
Marcus Garvey's words come to pass

Can't get no food to eat
Can't get no money to spend, ohh
Can't get no food to eat
Can't get no money to spend, ohh

Come little one and let me do what I can for you
And you and you alone, come, little one, come, ohh
Let me do what I can
For you and you alone, ohh

You know the right and do it not
Shall be spanked with many stripes
Weeping and wailing and moaning
You've got yourself to blame, I tell you

Do right, do right, do right, do right, do right
Do right, do right, do right, do right, do right, do right
I tell you, ohh, tell you to do right
Beg you to do right, ohh

Where is Bagawire?
He's nowhere around, he can't be found
First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey

Son of Satan, First prophesy
Catch them, Garvey, ohh
Hold them Marcus, hold them
Prophesy a fulfilled, ohh
Catch them, Garvey, catch them
Hold them Marcus, hold them, ohh
Marcus Garvey Marcus
