Where the Tree Falls - Culture

The axe man have left the root of the tree and it is fruitless

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course, Mass a God

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

Dog safe to sit down and stretch out its tail too long

Dirty nigga will mash it

Every little thing you do too progressive

None ambitious people crush it

Them nuh have no ambition at all

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

Fuitless trees must be yewn down

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

And me hear Mr. Vally

Him a chat seh

Since brother Bob dead, reggae music gone down

But I have story for the youth

But as long as bitter belly Joseph Hill is alive

Reggae music is alive!

(You know what kill me man?)

When I look around me I saw death stole away

My brother Dennis Brown

I m crying, but we will carry on

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

Don t watch me, watch yourselves!

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

Not everything good fi eat sometime

Old time people say «Good fe talk»

And the same stone that the builder refused in the morning

Becomes the head cornerstone

And new king sit upon the throne

Hey, where the tree falls

Hey, there shall it lie until judgement take its course

Root of all immoral laws

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

(You know something?)

Marcus Garvey say all immoral laws

Must be disobeyed

And no powers shall make me bow down to the laws

Oh, no little faggot!

(Forgot that! Man, not I!)

For where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

Whether you a tomato or you a cedar

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

We gonna rode little chariot, old little chariot a g’waan

Mek reggae music g waan

And who s here will stay here

And who fi gone, is already gone

Lift up your red pearly gates

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course

Keep on preying with me, my brother

Where the tree falls

There shall it lie until judgement take its course
