[Stephen Marley, Damian Marley - Tight Ship lyrics]
Though the wicked persecute I
Still my heart has love
Oh, my head's anointed with
The powers of love
Though the wicked persecute I
With envy and grudge
Oh, my head's anointed, ayy
There is no room for mistakes
We're sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh
Clear a space
There is no room for mistakes, mama said
Sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place
Oh, clear a space, yeah
Though the wicked persecute I
Still my heart has love
Oh, my head's anointed with
The powers of love
Though them wicked persecute I
With envy and grudge
But my head's anointed, hey
There is no room for mistakes
We're sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh
Clear a space
There is no room for mistakes, papa said
Sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place
Oh, clear a space, yeah
Let's get this ship up and
Quick, in spick and spanking, yes
All hands on deck, I said
Don't let me say it again
Let's get this ship up and
Quick, in spick and spanking, yes
All hands on deck, I said, don't let
I gotta say it again
Boom, from we a likkle boy dem used
To grudge we fi we horlicks
Nuff a dem nah hold no joy
Dem full a bare envy and malice
Nuff a dem a get bad mind and saying
"Those arrogant Marleys"
Them say who Jah bless, no man curse
Babylon is harmless
Alright now, nuff a dem hard at work
Them watching who's working the hardest
Grasshopper jump at anything that
Scruffle in the grasses
And dem never yet grudge the
Other creatures of the forest
What you reap is what you sow
Don't be surprised when we a harvest
My pocket so fat
Is it a walrus in my wallet?
True say no man no perfect but
Our flows are always flawless
One room at a time is where
The shack or where the palace
Cleanliness is godliness so keep
It clean regardless
We're from the sweeping haffi start
Get rid of filthiness and garbage
Swashbucklers a walk the plank if dem nuh up
Full likewise honest
Officers aboard this ship is heading
To the land of promise
There ain't no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, hey
Sailing get the broom, sweep the place
Oh clear a space
Still my heart has love
Oh, my head's anointed with
The powers of love
Though the wicked persecute I
With envy and grudge
Oh, my head's anointed, ayy
There is no room for mistakes
We're sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh
Clear a space
There is no room for mistakes, mama said
Sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place
Oh, clear a space, yeah
Though the wicked persecute I
Still my heart has love
Oh, my head's anointed with
The powers of love
Though them wicked persecute I
With envy and grudge
But my head's anointed, hey
There is no room for mistakes
We're sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh
