Lyrics

[Chorus]

So Jah seh

Not one of my seeds

Shall sit in the sidewalk

And beg bread

No, they can't and you know that they won't!

So Jah seh

Not one of my seeds

Shall sit in the sidewalk

And beg your bread

No, they can't and you know that they won't!

[Verse 1]

And verily, verily, I'm saying unto thee, I

Inite oneself and love Imanity

'Cause puss and dog, they get together

What's wrong with loving one another?

Puss and dog, they get together

What's wrong with you, my brother?

[Verse 2]

So Jah seh

Ye are the sheep of my pasture

So verily, thou shall be very well

So Jah seh, yeah

Ye are the sheep of my pasture

So verily, thou shall be very well, yeah

[Chorus]

And down here in the ghetto

And down here, we suffer

But I and I hang on in there

And I and I, I don't let go

I and I, I hang on in there

And I and I, I don't let go

[Verse 3]

For so Jah seh, yeah

I'm gone to prepare a place

That where I am, thou shall abide, yeah

So Jah seh

Fear not for mighty dread

'Cause I'll be there at your side

[Chorus]

And, and down there, down there in the ghetto

And down there, we suffer

But I and I hang on in there

And I and I, I don't let go

I and I, I hang on in there

And I and I, I don't let go

[Outro]

So Jah seh
