Good Ways Lyrics
Intro Just organize and centralize my people
Because Babylon have...
Instilled malicious and grudged upon my people,yuh know
Yuh see the dutty lifestyle...the Rastaman ah bu'n it!!!
Verse ! There's nothing in them system
Of which they create all around,ey
They criticize their own Idren
Yet they would catch at a straw if they were to drown,ey!
They not didifferent from those
Scribes and Pharisees who come around,ey!
They lurks in the corners
Skylarks in the streets,flirt in the towns
They never do positive
They find a joy making people business their own,ey
Dance ah yard before yuh dance abroad
The High Priest tell yuh dat and you dey frown
Chorus Galong^,go get good ways,true grace
Haffi purge fi pass Zion Gate
You haffi have good ways--it give you long days
Nah take no bribe from not a screw-face
