Damian Marley, Bunny Wailer, Treach - Educated Fools lyrics

Hear this three monkeys sitting
Under a coconut tree (really?)
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to the others, now listen you two
There’s a strange rumor that can’t be true
They say man was descended
From our noble race
But the very idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Or her baby, to ruin their lives
Yeah The monkeys drift is mine (that’s right)

Well educated fools they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both
Di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot
Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet
Now dem hear the kick drum di
Snare and di hi hat
Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet

Imagine after so much chanting and prayers
But a revolutionary situation requires
Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers
Surround dem ends wid all some burning tires
Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials
Until dem send di reparation dollars
Warning to all di political scholars
Political thieves and political liars
Political cocaine and gun suppliers
Di whole a dem a go
Down inna flames and fires
Well unno better fly out
Like some frequent fliers
Bound to feel the wrath of di real Bongonyahs
Hey don't fuck yourself next time
You read out di budget
Di government case, ah poor people a judge it
Dem bring di guns but di
Youths dem ah bust it
Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet
Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabit's
With a warm series of pain and havoc
Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it
Dem mek mi resort to violence
Di race get lead up somebody nah live up
Somebody goin dead up BLOW!
Whole ah di garment dem red up BLOW!
Car and apartment get bled up
Didn't you get ample warning say
Poor people fed up and still every morning
Dem try hold dem head up
Emperor Selassie calling
Youths dem fi dread up babylon is fallen
Gun nozzle bend up
Releasing di whole of di youth dem weh pen up

Well educated fools they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both
Di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot
Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet
Now dem hear the kick drum di
Snare and di hi hat
Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet

Check it now junior Gong a junior bong
Done beat up Babylon and Vatican
Mi nuh come here fi praise up no pagan
Mi nuh come here fi big up no batty man
See dem a come, move, throw Satan
And forgot all about the good great one
Tell 'em say that dem lead

Injustice nah go last too long
See the weapon here inna me hand
Politician me ago buss it pon
Them hide the truth and kill we with
Poor people across the world this
Is a special dedication africans and? alike
Don’t lose unnu meditation
See them a come with racism
Nah support segregation
Nah go spot me in a fi
Dem clique and dem congregation

That’s why them ban me song
Them thru me make a stand
Check di starifacation, Yo

Well educated fools they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both
Di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
Well educated fools they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both
Di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves

Well educated fools educated demons
And educated goons educated mules
Educated fools educated demons
And educated goons

Minutes after minutes I say hour after hour
All dem shady people dem nasty and sour
This is warlord style me as black noah
'Cause, I represent black power
Well, almighty God inna da statue a tower
A long time me know some
More did come to devour
They have me people dem and
Shout power and shower
And trick them with them rice
And flour ya know me respect rastafarians
Me respect church goers
Dem fi no say poor people
On a boat can’t no row a
Fire a flame me bring fi ya ya drug for ya
And that me want the whole of them fi know ya

Well I heard that man came
From sands and other molecules
Way before bodies and barbecues
With a good side a bad
Side and still argue too
Before schemin and thievin and dreamin
Of gleamin and feenin
Even before Adam and Eve and even
Before it was about being the nicest
Or whose diamonds that are priceless
BC around Tutankhamun and Isis
On the continent of Africa
Pass out and tribes to create a character
Sold us shit on earth was magical
Then the strangers came from the
Boat with the ropes
Chains that felt strange
They called it the slave game
The game changed
They had shackled like assholes
The Bloodclot so nowadays the way we prevent
It is a thugs Glock seen them rape and kill
Our children and women
The villain the bill gonna sort the
Black man how to kill men
Let’s keep it real man
You can’t harm me or scar me
Respect for me History’s priority
With the Marleys
