Bob Marley - Stiff Necked Fools

This has to be my favorite Marley song. Just listen. And if you haven’t heard this before…I don’t want to rule ya, I don’t want to fool ya…haha just kidding, guys.

Stiff Necked Fools, You think you’re cool
To deny me for simplicity
Yes you have gone, for so long
With your love for vanity now
Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain imagination

So take Jah Sun, and Jah Moon
And Jah Rain and Jah Stars
And forever yes erase your fantasy

The lips of the righteous, teach many
But fools die for want of wisdom
The rich man’s wealth is in his city
The righteous wealth is in His Holy Place

So take Jah Sun and Jah Moon
And Jah Rain, and Jah Stars
And forever, yes erase your fantasy
Destruction of the poor is in their poverty
Destruction of the soul is vanity

So stiff necked fools, you think you’re cool
To deny me for simplicity
Yes you have gone, gone for so long
With your love for vanity now

But I don’t wanna rule ya
I don’t wanna fool ya
I don’t wanna school ya
Things you, you might never know about

Stiff necked fools…you think you’re cool to deny me for simplicity.

Guiltiness, pressed on their conscience.
And they live their lives
on false pretense everyday.
Each and everyday.

These are the big fish
who always try to eat down the small fish,
just the small fish.
I tell you what: they would do anything
To materialize their every wish.

Woe to the downpressors.
They’ll eat the bread of sorrow.
Woe to the downpressors.
They’ll eat the bread of sad tomorrow.

Guiltiness.
Pressed on their conscience.

Them crazy, them crazy
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town;
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of our town.

I’n’I build a cabin;
I’n’I plant the corn;
Didn’t my people before me
Slave for this country?
Now you look me with that scorn,
Then you eat up all my corn.

We gonna chase those crazy
Chase them crazy
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town

Build your penitentiary, we build your schools,
Brainwash education to make us the fools.
Hate is your reward for our love,
Telling us of your God above.

We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy bunkheads
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the yown!

We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy bunkheads
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the yown!

Here comes the conman
Coming with his con plan.
We won’t take no bribe;
We’ve got to stay alive.

We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy baldheads
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the yown.

It takes a revolution, to make a solution…

It takes a revolution to make a solution;
Too much confusion, so much frustration..
I don’t wanna live in the park;
Can’t trust no shadows after dark.
So, my friend, I wish that you could see,
Like a bird in the tree, the prisoners must be free

Never make a politician grant you a favor;
They will always want to control you forever
So if a fire make it bun
And if a blood make it run,
Rasta de pon top, can’t you see?
So you can’t predict the flop.

We got lightning, thunder, brimstone, and fire…

Kill, cramp and paralyze all weakheart conception;
Wipe them out of creation.

Oh! Let i’es is i’es, in i’es is black,
In i’es is red, in i’es is dread.

Let righteousness cover the earth
Like the water cover the sea, yeah!

Another of my favorite Bob Marley songs. Beautiful song.
