Lyrics
1, 2
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't matter what the hypocrites might say
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't matter what the wicked might do
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
All I know Jah will guide I through
Temptation, botheration and tribulation
Temptation, botheration and tribulation
I will stand up and fight for my rights
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right to the Tree of Life
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I will never lose my musical right
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I will put up a musical fight
Through temptation, botheration and tribulation
Through temptation, botheration and tribulation
Tribulation
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Temptation
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Botheration
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Whoa)
I will stand up and fight for my right
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right to the Tree of Life
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I will never lose my musical right
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Or I'll put up a musical fight
Through temptation, botheration and tribulation
(Whoa)
Through temptation, botheration and tribulation
I will never let my black brothers down
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I will never let them lose their crown
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
All I know Jah will see me through
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Temptation, botheration and tribulation
Temptation, botheration and tribulation
Through temptation, botheration and tribulation
(One more time)
Temptation, botheration and tribulation
(Whoa)
Through temptation, botheration and tribulation
