Edge Michael Crazy World (If it ain't One Thing, It Another) Lyrics
by DHRW
(Jamaica)
Boy Mi a tell you say fyah, frustrated
Everything mi try, if its not one thing its another
Boy mi nuh know wah fi do enuh
But you see right now
Read a chapter enuh, cause a chapter a day keep the pagan away
And the evil-ous one enuh
If it ain't one thing its another
If it ain't one thing its another
Its a crazy mix up world
Dog eat dog world
Life is full of strive
People just don't nice
Everybody talking crack
Running thing done there's and that
There's your resentment, add to dis contentment
Talk to any guy he'll tell you
Taxes are too high
Book school fees are too rock
The will side is way up
These are the sorry lines
Some folks say it cause of us
Only ego tricks, everyone has there's
If it ain't one thing its another
If it ain't one thing its another
Everyone is traveling out
Married folks are packing up
Country is going up in smoke
Where is now or whether is both
Blacks marching on the seas
400 hundreds years still not free
Peter tosh made all that a man can pay
We need a sensi holiday
Folk messing with my mind
Make me a Frankenstein
This woman by my side
She start to heckle its to hide
Can get my head on by
Problems day and nights
To calm my nerves I try to smoke
Doctors gave me dope to coke
If it ain't one thing its another
If it ain't one thing its another
Boy mi a tell you enuh fyah
After mi voice di song and send it go give the radio people dem
A radio announcer a tell me say mi nah sing high enuff
Mi need fi go off key
Mi tell dem say mi nah go off key
Go home back without no food inna mi pocket
And mi baby mother a say yow
It can't work because she a get fat again
From my day of work
Been hell on earth
Another is all i get
Got no friends don't give ahhh
If you ain't got a lot of proof
Got to
put up with a lot of bull
This slipping world, this crazy
I art to flush myself down the drain
If it ain't one thing its another
If it ain't one thing its another
Yow family mi can talk to you
Just take a listening ear enuh
Mi a tell you say, long long time ago
Mi ole grand mother, god rest har soul
Use to sit me on har knee enuh
Without the good book and said my son
My child don't get too grown, too famous, too rich
To forget the man upstairs
And she used to back out the good book
And turn to Matthew chapter 24
And there the disciples talking to the master enuh
Dem say lord just what would be the sign of the coming
And the end to all this confusion and corruption on earth
The good lord said, children watch out don't let nobody deceive you, you hear
When the last days, there will be a lot of tribulation
Wars and fa-mining, Earthquakes in different and there will be no understanding amongst people
Him say, but as you see these things occurring
Don't you become too discourage
Just lift your heads high
Because deliverance is getting near
He also spoke about the proclamation of a soon coming king
You know weh mi a talk bout, you know weh mi a talk bout
You fi look the good book over man
Turn to Daniel Chapter two
And there Daniel describe that this Kingdom
Will not be a Kingdom of earthly Kings
And dem politician weh a con we, dem nah go Rome
When last you take a read of the good book
Yeah man take a flip over to Revelation
Weh it say jah will wipe out every tear from our eyes
Mi bredren, mi sistren
I don't know if we go talk like this fi a while
But time and things certainly concern me these days
When you dreaming, dream big yuh hear
Get down on your knees every now and then and pray
You don't even have to do that
Open your and pray and observe what a gwaan round you
One love Rastafari
