As It Is
I start singing in the late '60s
Told about Studio One by Bob Marley
Music went up, down and around
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember him?
The music attention
Was in a different direction
Not a burning direction
Spear, been through his struggle
With a lot of patience and discipline
Never bow down
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember him?
I've been through the struggle like everyone
Like the earlier musicians
Blues musicians
Jazz musicians
Reggae musicians
I was going back and forth
From St. Ann's to Kingston
Thirteen, Brentford Road
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember him?
Many times, I ain't got no bus fare
Therefore, got to hitchhike on truck back
I am the stone that the builders refused
I am the stone that the builders refused
They put me aside
They passed me by
Thinking I would cry
Stone don't cry
Stone don't cry
Usually sit on Key Largo beach
Playing my bongos and eating ital stew
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember him?
The few soldiers that know me
They're either from rough house or soft house
Talk about Key Largo beach
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember him?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember him?
Did someone remember Burning Spear?
Did someone remember?
Did someone remember Burning Spear? (Spear)
Did someone remember him?
Did someone remember him?
