Shaggy - Forgive Them Father lyrics

Them say money is the root of all evil
But a no money
Some people a kill people little or nothing
Some say them a gangster
But a studio gangster

Well now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly
Little youth with the 45 and
Him say do or die
Now him muma she cry water run from her eye
And she remember when him was little
Bit and oh so shy

Forgive them father cause they know
Not what they have done
To save them from destruction gave
His only begotten son
Like them no understand say revelation a come
So watch the heathen them a run

Too much fuss and fight (BOO)
And that is not right
You no can't blow breath in a man
But still that you want take life
Innocent youth die bury a next guy
And him muma wool her belly and ask God why?
Well no ask me no question I tell you no lie
It's about time the world start to realize
This a revelation and it's a serious time
Put your a hand inna the air
And pray to the most high

Forgive them father cause they know
Not what they have done
To save them from destruction gave
His only begotten son
Like them no understand say revelation a come
So watch the heathen them a run cha

Youth man a beg and you fi put down your gun
Me no want fi see another youth tumble down
This is reality no play dumb dumb
Some a them a thing 'bout
Dollars having a large sum
Money is the root of all evil
If so me no want none
Wicked man them a heathen fi them fire burn
Whole a them shall perish
Inna the wicked kingdom
This is Shaggy one of Jah Jah son

Forgive them father cause they know
Not what they have done
To save them from destruction gave
His only begotten son
Like them no understand say revelation a come
So watch the heathen them a run

Yow! yow! yow! stop talking yow
Mislead the youth to shoot
Them one another down muma what this you're
Talking pure foolishness
Can't sit down eat me Sunday
Ackee and salt fish
Can't use me tounge and lick
Out me pyrex dish as me sit down and a wish
Me mouth start get peckish
Have fi eat me dry bread and
Drink the water well quick

Forgive them father cause they know
Not what they have done
To save them from destruction gave
His only begotten son
Like them no understand say revelation a come
So watch the heathen them a run

Now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly
Little youth with the 45 and
Him say do or die
Now him muma she cry water run from her eye
And she remember when him was little
Bit and oh so shy watch it

Youth man a beg and you fi put down your gun
Me no want fi see another youth tumble down
This is reality no play dumb dumb
Some a them a thing 'bout
Dollars having a large sum
Money is the root of all evil
If so me no want none
Wicked man them a heathen fi them fire burn
Whole a them shall perish
Inna the wicked kingdom
This is Shaggy one of Jah Jah son

Forgive them father cause they know
Not what they have done
To save them from destruction gave
His only begotten son
Like them no understand say revelation a come
So watch the heathen them a run

Too much fuss and fight (BOO)
And that is not right
You no can't blow breath in a man
But still that you want take life
Innocent youth die bury a next guy
And him muma wool her belly and ask God why?
Well no ask me no question I tell you no lie
It's about time the world start to realize
This a revelation and it's a serious time
Put your a hand inna the air
And pray to the most high
