GIFT OF JAH
Don't sell your body
For money, my sister
In this day and age
You've got to be careful
In this day and age
In these last days
Don't kill your neighbor
For your envy, my brother
Life's not that cheap
When it lasts forever
In this day and age
In these last days
Wages of sin is death
Gift of Jah is life
Wages of sin is death
Gift of Jah
Eternal life
You think you're having fun
with the rum and cocaine,
dulling out life
numbing your brain,
but it's death, it's death
The devil's laughing at your life,
You mock Jah, Turn your face asunder,
Blunder 'round creation Is it any wonder
That you don't know Jah?
Come see Jah, Jah
I beg you come see Jah, Jah
Hear me you rich, evil men
Your time is coming soon
When you will jump out of tall buildings
Only Jah, Jah know
the day of your doom
Jonah went to Nineveh
to warn the nations,
Tell them about Jah love
You've got to tell them about Jah love
Jah gave us all a life
To live with love in our hearts
Be thankful that you can feel
Compassion, Have a heart,
to let love grow.
