Lyrics

Friend not thyself
Because of evilous men
Dem just a big up dem chest
And wan' fi help you down again
Well I and I lift up I roots
Because a deh so it deh, yeah
And what goes on up, my friend
Is coming down again, yeah
Same road you walk before
You done a trod it once again
So do good in everything
That's what the higher one say
I and I lift up I roots
Because a deh so it deh, yeah
What goes around, my friend
Is coming 'round again, yeah
I don't really care what Babylon do
Oh no, oh no
Strictly Rebel music we play
All day, oh yeah
I don't really care if dem screw
Oh no, oh no
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
Not today, not today, not today
So friend not thyself
Because of evilous men
Dem just a big up dem chest
But don't curse out who Jah bless
I and I lift up I roots
Because a deh so it deh, yeah
What goes up, my friend
Is coming down again, yeah
I don't really care if none of dem screw
Oh no, oh no
Strictly Rebel music we play
All day, oh yeah
I don't really care what dem do
Oh no, oh no
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
Not today, not today, not today
