Marcus Garvey’s words come to pass,-
Marcus Garvey’s words come to pass,
Can’t get no food to eat,
Can’t get no money to spend, Wo-oo-oo
Can’t get no food to eat,
Can’t get no money to spend, Woo -oo- oo
Come, little one, oh let me do what I can do for you
And you and you alone
Come, little one, come, wo-oo-oo
Let me do what I can, mmmmm, for you and you alone, woo-oo-oo
He who knows the right
And do it not
Shall be spanked with many stripes,
Weeping and wailing and mourning,
You’ve got yourself to blame, I tell you.
Do right do right do right do right do right,
Do right do right do right do right do right do right, I beg you, woo-oo-oo
Tell you to do right, mmmmm
Beg you to do right, Woo -oo- oo
(musical interlude)
Where is Bagawire, he’s nowhere around
He can’t be found
First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey
Son of Satan, First prophesy,
Catch them, Garvey old
Hold them Marcus, hold them, mmmmm
Prophesy a fulfill, woo-oo-oo
Catch them Garvey, catch them, mmmmm
Hold them Marcus, hold them, woo-oo-oo
Marcus Garvey, Marcus, mmmm
