Lyrics

Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks
Elementary so them tune into the real roots rock
Ah, yeah
Yeah
B-b-b-b-b-beats
Cha-wa-wa-wa-wa
Ay
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone (sing it brother)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone
Now you're a builder, baby (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
Lord, here I am a stone (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
Don't you pick and refuse me (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
Listen for the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say
The stone that the builder refuse (the stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (the stone that the builder refuse)
The stone that the builder refuse (the stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (the stone that the builder refuse)
Some are throwing stone while not knowing no innocence
Some a stone throw while a glass house them livin' in
Stones throw away from each other in the villages
Stone them refuse same stone it was written in
Some a get stone over cultures and premises
Some a get stone over judge men from enemies
Some a get stone overdose in 'em mannequins
You're a builder, baby (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
Here I am, a stone (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
Don't you pick and refuse me (sha-la-la-la-la-la) (don't you pick)
'Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? (Do you hear me?) Hear what I say
Stone them refuse can be the stone it was written in
Written in stone on statues and images
Scribbled in stone in ancient languages
Riddles and codes of the ancient prophecies
Stone carry gold but not all gold, they carry
Stone in the crown and the thrones that it's sitting in
Some stones carry minerals and vitamins
Rock stone of you should I choose when I'm digging in
Now you're a builder, baby (sha-la-la-la-la-la) (oh yeah)
Oh, here I am a stone (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
Don't you pick and refuse me (sha-la-la-la-la-la) listen (don't lose me)
For the things people refuse (yeah)
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say
The stone that the builder refuse (the stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (the stone that the builder refuse)
(Tell them, brother)
The stone that the builder refuse (the stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (the stone that the builder refuse)
(O-o-one for children)
The stone that the builder refuse (o-o-one for)
Will always be the head cornerstone
The stone that the builder refuse (isn't what what you're doing)
Will always be the head cornerstone (yes, it will now)
The stone that the builder refuse (watch what you're refusing)
Will always be the head cornerstone (over what you take now)
The stone that the builder refuse (watch what you listening)
Will always be the head cornerstone (not what you hear)
