Big Mountain - Respect The Child Lyrics

Big Mountain Lyrics

"Respect The Child"

Must respect the child, must respect the child
Must respect the child, must respect the child
Must respect the child, must respect the child

Jah na give you no right
To abuse Jah creation
Jah na give you no right
For manipulation
Never force your hand upon the child
For violence is the tool of the oppressor
And we're not going back there

Must respect the child
Must respect the child
Must respect the child
Let the tree grow wild now
Must respect the child
Listen before you teach
Must respect the child

Jah Jah give you no right
To oppress a little girl
Jah Jah give you no right
To trample upon her dreams
Babylon try to water down
The hopes of the voiceless
We will never compromise
We're never going back there

Must respect the child
Must respect the child
Must respect the child
Let the tree grow wild now
Must respect the child
Listen before you teach
Must respect the child

Violence is the only thing that justify Babylon
Violence is the reason that lying and cheating go on
Send the police home
Send the police man home

La da da day
Shap shap shadaduway
La da da day
Shap shap shadaduway
Send the police
La da da day
Shap shap shadaduway
Send the policeman home
La da da day
Shap shap shadaduway

Maximum love and respect to all the workers and the teachers
Listen before you teach
Teach the children right
Listen before you teach
Babylon a flight
Listen before you teach
Living in Jah site
Listen before you teach
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Jah Jah give you no right
To buy up the land and seas
Jah Jah give you no right
To control all the money
I can see your conspiracy pon the run
Jah people come and greet the new sun
And Rastafari is the future culture
Nurture and respect the child

Come on now true true wisdom is innocent
True true wisdom is innocent
True true wisdom is innocent
Listen before you teach
True true wisdom is innocent
Listen before you teach
Listen before you teach
True true wisdom is innocent
Listen before you teach

Jah Jah give you no right
Jah Jah give you no right
Jah Jah give you no right
Jah Jah give you no right

Send him home
Send the police man home
Send him home
Send the police man home
