Super Cat - Settlement lyrics

Well Jah said, "Blessed is the poor in spirit
For there is the kingdom of Heaven
Take it from the original Couton
Almighty Amen"

This a de settlement over all argument
This a de settlement
De settlement fe all argument
This a de settlement over all argument
This a de settlement
De settlement fe all argument

After me a live in a one room tenement
Walk pon de street wid I Ten Commandments
Face brutality and embarrassment
All because of Babylonian infringement
Seh, "Help me Jah
Jah and forgive them judgment
Hear what dem doing to
Poor people and children" jay say
"Blessed is the poor there is
The kingdom of Heaven
Read the macabee whole and the new testament
Tell de whole a dem
'bout de Ten Commandments"

Jah, Jah seh we no fe worship ornament
Chant me a go a chant an' kill che serpent
Listen MrCat almighty, Amen

Render your heart
Make me tell you and not your garment
Weh, Jah, Jah, seh "Render your heart
Let me tell you and not your garment"
Oonu hear me

This a de settlement over all argument
This a de settlement
De settlement fe all argument
This a de settlement over all argument
This a de settlement
De settlement fe all argument

Try fe move up in a life
An' dem fight we with heathen
When dat nah work send dem
Obeah man friend dem
Next thing dem try dat is hicracious conman
If that nah work then de loquacious element

Spread propaganda fe cause disappointment
Because them looking for some
Form of endorsement
Long time me watch them a
Perplex de youth dem
But Jah will never give the
Power to no heathen fe step up and rail up
And trample him children
So Jah, Jah run de whole a dem out a Heaven
In a burn fire hell weh
De whole a dem condemn
A MrCat come fe step pon de serpent
A me seh Almighty listen me no Amen

Render your heart
Let me tell you and not your garment
So Jah, Jah, seh "Render your heart
Let me tell you and not your garment"
Oonu hear me

This a de settlement over all argument
This a de settlement
De settlement fe all argument
This a de settlement over all argument
This a de settlement
De settlement fe all argument

We live poor in a de ghetto
True de work nah sufficient
No have a nickel, nor a dime
Nor a red copper one cent
Poverty, hunger it get me impatient
Try fe mash a works, here come an indictment

Twenty-five years the judge a
Leggy fe de sentence
Under pressure me have fe run
Left de charge them
Run left the sergeant and superintendent
Police back him up him and
Him bad lucky friend them
Merciless shot and him a dove cot patient
Listen MrCat come fe step pomn deh i beg
"Oonu render oonu heart let me tell
You and not your garment" so Jah Jah seh
"Render your heart
Let me tell you and not your garment"
Oonu hear me

This a de settlement over all argument

De settlement fe all argument
This a de settlement over all argument
