Lyrics
0:06Rock stone was my pillow
0:12Rock stone was my pillow
0:17I say rock stone was my pillow
0:24Rock stone was my pillow
0:27Hear the man say
0:29Rock stone was my pillow
0:30Could find place find sleep
0:32Pot dem empty we have find food fi eat
0:35Everyday we terrorize
0:36By soldier and police
0:38When the thing dem a strum
0:39And the thing dem a beat
0:40From dem a play cowboy
0:42And Indian and chief
0:43From the first to the third
0:44Straight up to seven street
0:46One thing in a we mind
0:47Haffe trample the beast
0:49And make it in a life
0:50And inherit as the meek
0:53Self employed cannot get lay off
0:56Mount a work mi have
0:57Can't even get a day off

1:52Could be no harder time
1:54Got to widen your views
1:55Got to broaden your mind
1:56What we face in the ghetto
1:58Nowhere else can you find
1:59Hunger poverty a system so unkind
2:02As a matter of fact
2:03There is an aftershock
2:05When cold ground was my bed
2:07And my pillow was a rock
2:08Try to make it through the system
2:09All the doors were locked
2:11Yet nothing beats a try
2:12And so I ain't go stop
2:14Mount a time they write a book on you
2:16A set amount a crap
2:17They would a put on you
2:19Yet when you in the dirt
2:20They wouldn't look on you
2:22They would only scorn
2:23And wanna wipe they foot on you
2:25So open up zion door
2:28Ethiopia Africa for sure
2:31Liberate the poor the poor
2:37Mi nah lie true mi hail
2:39Selassie I dem waah fi war I
2:41Read mi bible
2:42Turn to peace
2:42And praise Tafari
2:45Goodbye Babylon goodbye goodbye
