Small Axe - B Is Version
Why boasteth thyself, oh evil men?
Playing smart and not being clever, oh no
I say, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity, yeah, if I sow I sow
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
Indureth for Iver
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down, oh yeah
These are the words of my Master
Keep on telling me, oh
No weak heart shall prosper
Oh no, they can't, eh
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, bury in it
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
(If you are the big tree) oh, if you have a big tree
(We have a small axe) let me tell you this
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Playing smart and not being clever, oh no
I say, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity, yeah, if I sow I sow
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
Indureth for Iver
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down, oh yeah
These are the words of my Master
Keep on telling me, oh
No weak heart shall prosper
Oh no, they can't, eh
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, bury in it
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
(If you are the big tree) oh, if you have a big tree
(We have a small axe) let me tell you this
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down
If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
