Lyrics

[Verse 1]
World must understand, yo, a man is just a man
Don't you judge him for his ways and flaws, no
Speak of love tomorrow, you'll be doing good my brother
You're working for the greatest cause
He without sin may throw the first stone
And not even a pebble can cast, no
Pharisees and scribes crucified the son of God
Be careful who you nail pon cross
[Verse 2]
Be careful who you nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who you nail pon cross
Be careful who you nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who you nail pon cross
[Verse 3]
Things is getting rougher
And some can't find no supper
Much less a good breakfast, no
What a lucky thing, say rasta, you'd no want a go
Say natty dreadlocks gotta hold steadfast
[Verse 4]
Grudges are forbidden
Forgive to be forgiven
When another man trespass, whoa
Heckle vex with Jeckle, and the pot a cuss the kettle
You be careful who you nail pon cross
[Verse 5]
Be careful who you nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
Be careful who you nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
[Verse 6]
Today might be for you, but Jah might give me tomorrow
So don't count you're eggs too fast
You might talk too soon, then your pride haffi swallow
Come down off your big high horse
Some preachin' religion, when inside them hollow
And pure judgement them pass, whoa
And a gwan like them a God, when that's a hard act to follow
Be careful who you nail pon cross
[Verse 7]
Be careful who no nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
Be careful who you nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
[Verse 8]
Don't throw no word, I beg you, don't throw no stone
If you're living in a house of glass
[Verse 9]
Do unto others as you do to your own
You never know when you might cross paths
Have a look within, 'cause another one's win
That should not be your loss
If the tables spin, you a laugh up an' a grin
Be careful who you nail pon cross
[Verse 10]
Be careful who no nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
Be careful who you nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
Be careful who no nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
Be careful who no nail pon cra-wa-wa-wa-woss
Be careful who no nail pon cross
