Just so we are all clear…..

 

Why boasteth thyself, O evil men

Playing smart and-a not being clever!

I said you're working iniquity

To achieve vanity (if a-so, a-so),

But the goodness of Jah - Jah

Endureth for ever

 

So if you are the big tree,

We are the small axe

Ready to cut you down, (well sharp)

To cut you down

 

These are the words of my master

Keep on tellin' me: no weak out shall prosper

 

Eh! Whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it - fall in it

And whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it (fall in it)

 

If you are the big tree,

Let me tell you that: we are the small axe

Sharpened ready - ready to cut you down, (well sharp)

To cut you down.

 

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, to cut you down,

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, to cut you down)

 

These are the words of my master

Tellin' me that: no weak out shall prosper

 

And whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it, uh! - bury in it!

And whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall bury in it, uh! (bury in it)

 

If you are the big, big tree,

We are the small axe

Ready to cut you down, (well sharp)

To cut you down

 

If you are the big, big tree,

Let me tell you that: we are the small axe

Ready to cut you down, (well sharp)

To cut you down
