[Intro: Damian Marley]
Now, greetings to the world!
Voice to the one called Skip Marley!
Alongside the lion in the jungle
Big Gongzilla, the youngest uncle
[Verse 1: Skip Marley]
I know you drunk in power: brother, that's not juice
I see you chasing Mil’s: my brother, that's not food
When the banana peels, I tell you that's not fruit
Another brother shot down, but that’s not news
[Pre-Chorus 1: Skip Marley]
Don't you fall from grace
Brother, don't throw it all away
A wise man used to say
"Money ain't life, so take it easy"
[Chorus: Skip Marley]
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
[Verse 2: Skip Marley]
You’re lying with the liars: baby, that’s not you
The way you're never smiling, baby, that’s not cute
I see he got you crying: baby, that's not smooth
The chaos and the violence, baby, that's not cool
[Pre-Chorus 2: Skip Marley]
Don't you fall from grace (No way)
My love don’t give your heart away (No way)
A wise man used to say
"If she's amazing, she won't be easy"
[Chorus: Skip Marley]
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
[Verse 3: Damian Marley]
(Zilla!)
Better you build a bridge, than instead of you build a wall
Better to love and lost, than to never have loved at all
Better to do today, than instead of you putting it off
Tomorrow nuh sure and that is for sure, so better you give it you all
Better you stand up and better you get up and rise, whenever you fall
Better you smile instead of you cry, and even better you laugh
Embarrassment better than gas pain, me friend, so better you fart
Anything better than hungry, wisdom better than smart
Better dem doe boda gwan like dem tuff, 'cause I bet when you check it dem soft
Gwaan like dem bad and a buck like a bull but I bet when you check is a calf
Real is better than fraud, freedom better than bought
Gold is better than bronze, bronze is better than brass, but
Health is better than wealth, and peace is better than war
Now is better than later, the present is better than past
Prevention better than cure, and long life better than fast
Question better than answer
Better you answer, just tell me yours
[Chorus: Skip Marley]
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
Tell me that's not true
