Tarrus Riley – Stop Watch Lyrics

Ska

Hey
Dem say dem can't tek a bone inna we body
And we flesh, dem deh like fi tear it
And we no do dem nothing, and now law dem waan fi harm we
It's a lucky thing Jah keep us out of harm's way

And the youths dem don't grudge no one
Don't malice no one
Don't envy no one
Nuh badmind no one
Don't grudge no one, do your own thing
Don't malice no one
Don't envy no one
Govern your own thing and be your own thing

Stop watch your brother progress
Hey, it will stress you
Stop from watching your sister success
'Cause it will mad you

Hey, all of a sudden now
Everything a trouble dem
Living the life the way I know how
And we cause an offence
When dem come in like the wicked
Dem a kill Christ and want him fi hang, hang
And dem come in like the general a fight '
Gainst Selassie government, 'ment
In the words of the great Baba, "I'd like to know what frighten dem"
Oh, what frighten dem
Hey

Stop watch your brother progress
Hey, it will stress you
Stop from watching your sister success
Hey, it will mad you

Hey, don't grudge no one, do your own thing
Don't malice no one
Don't envy no one
Nuh badmind no one
Don't grudge no one, do your own thing
Don't malice no one
Don't covet no one
Govern your own thing, uh oh

We know dem can't tek a bone inna we goody
It hurt dem heart
High Majesty bless we
Gold spoon inna we mouth and never ever we story
Full of pride, heads high at times when we hungry

And we don't grudge no one
Don't malice no one
Don't envy no one
Never badmind no one
Don't grudge no one, we do we own thing
We don't malice no one
Don't envy no one
Govern we own thing

Stop watch your brother progress
'Cause it will stress you
Stop from watching your sister success
It will mad you

Hey, all of a sudden now
Everything a trouble dem
Living the life the way I know how
And we cause an offence
When dem come in like the wicked
Dem a kill Christ and try dem fi hang, hang
And dem come in like the general a fight '
Gainst Selassie government, 'ment
In the words of the great Baba, "I'd like to know what frighten dem"
Oh, what frighten dem

Stop watch your brother progress
Hey, it will stress you
Stop from watching your sister success
It will mad you
