[Intro]
[Scatting]
[Chorus]
Children of Israel, take heed
And listen to the words of the prophet
The wages of sin is death, now
The gift of Jah is eternal life
The truth is a fact and we all know that
So, there's no need to build no strife
While there is life, against your brothers
Or your sisters
[Verse 1]
Children of Israel keep listening (Yeah)
They say the other half has not yet been told (No)
But, there is the book of knowledge
It's there for those who want to learn
The truth and rights; truth and rights
Truth and rights (Uh-uh; yeah)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
There is the book of knowledge (Yeah)
It's there for those who want to learn
Truth and rights; truth and rights
Truth and rights (Uh-uh; yeah)
[Chorus]
Children of Israel, take heed (Yeah)
And listen to the words of the prophet
The wages of sin is death, now
The gift of Jah is eternal life
The truth is a fact and we all know that
So, there's no need to build no strife
While there is life, against your brothers
