Small Axe

Why boasteth thyself, oh, evil men

Playing smart and not being clever? Oh no

I said, you're working iniquity to achieve vanity, yeah

If a-so a-so

But the goodness of Jah Jah I-dureth for-I-ver

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe

Sharpen to cut you down

Well sharp

Ready to cut you down, oh yeah

These are the words of my master, keep on tellin' me, oh-oh

No weak heart shall prosper, oh, no, they can't

And whosoever diggeth a pit, Lord

Shall fall in it

Shall fall in it

Whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall bury in it

Shall bury in it

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe

Sharpen to cut you down

Ready to cut you down

Eh, whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it

Fall in it

Eh, whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall bury in it

Shall bury in it

If you have a big tree

We have a small axe

Ready to cut you down

Well sharp

Sharpen to cut you down, oh

If you are the big tree, let me tell you this

We are the small axe

Ready to cut you down

Well sharp

Sharpen to cut you down

If you have a, oh, big tree, yeah

We are the small axe
