Marcus Garvey Songtext

von Burning Spear

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, woo.
Can't get no food to eat.
Can't get no money to spend, woo.

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

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 beg you, woo.
Tell you to do right, woo.
Beg you to do right, woo.

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

Son of Satan, first prophesy.
Catch them, Garvey old.
Hold them Marcus, hold them.
Prophesy a fulfilled, woo
Catch them, Garvey, catch them.
Hold them Marcus, hold them, woo.
Marcus Garvey Marcus.
