Where the Tree Falls

Culture


The axe man have left the root of the tree and it is fruitless 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course, Mass a God 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Dog safe to sit down and stretch out its tail too long. 
Dirty nigga will mash it. 
Every little thing you do too progressive 
None ambitious people crush it 
Them nuh have no ambition at all 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Fuitless trees must be yewn down 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
And me hear Mr. Vally 
Him a chat seh 
Since brother Bob dead, reggae music gone down 
But I have story for the youth 
But as long as bitter belly Joseph Hill is alive 
Reggae music is alive! (You know what kill me man?) 
When I look around me I saw death stole away 
My brother Dennis Brown 
I'm crying, but we will carry on 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Don't watch me, watch yourselves! 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Not everything good fi eat sometime 
Old time people say "Good fe talk" 
And the same stone that the builder refused in the morning 
Becomes the head cornerstone 
And new king sit upon the throne 
Hey, where the tree falls 
Hey, there shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Root of all immoral laws 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
(You know something?) 
Marcus Garvey say all immoral laws 
Must be disobeyed 
And no powers shall make me bow down to the laws 
Oh, no little faggot! (Forgot that! Man, not I!) 
For where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Whether you a tomato or you a cedar 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
We gonna rode little chariot, old little chariot a g'waan 
Mek reggae music g'waan 
And who's here will stay here 
And who fi gone, is already gone 
Lift up your red pearly gates 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course 
Keep on preying with me, my brother 
Where the tree falls 
There shall it lie until judgement take its course
