Lyrics

If you do wrong they complain Even if we call the father's name its the same What they want us to do Don't they know this is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing They should be thankful There're lights of hope that are still shining Shining If you do wrong they complain Even if we call the father's name its the same What they want us to do Don't they know this is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing They should be thankful There're lights of hope that are still shining Shining Let Jah rise and the heathen scatter Have to give thanks and praises no matter Even if the flames is getting hotter and hotter Everybody should know I don't believe in rumor Children arise from your sleep and slumber Don't come to bow, come to conquer Strictly love, why you envy your brother? Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner If you do wrong they complain Even if we call the father's name its the same What they want us to do Don't they know this is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing They should be thankful There's lights of hope that are still shining Shining Why should I change to gain acceptance? Can't tell a next man how to wear his pants Lift up the name of Jah in abundance Every single thing we do, we are liable To get a sentence But we won't be like a flea Just like how the more we see The less you hear we speak My brother don't you be like a stubborn sheep Blessed are he when man shall revile you And persecute you Say all manner of evil Against you falsely For Jah sake Rejoice I say And be exceedingly glad For great is your reward For so persecute they the prophets before you and me If you do wrong they complain Even if you call the father's name its the same What they want us to do Don't they know this is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing They should be thankful There're lights of hope that are still shining Shining Let Jah rise and the heathen scatter Have to give thanks and praises no matter Even if the flames is getting hotter & hotter Everybody should know I don't believe in rumor Children arise from your sleep and slumber Don't come to bow, come to conquer Strictly love why you envy your brother Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner If you do wrong they complain Even if we call the father's name it's the same What they want us to do Don't they know this is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing They should be thankful There're lights of hope that are still shining Shining If you do wrong they complain Even if we call the father's name it's the same What they want us to do Don't they know this is nothing new Why won't they do what they want And let me do my thing They should be thankful There're lights of hope that are still shining Shining
