Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only with me too
Spread it across the nation, yeah
Tell the people all about it, yeah
[Verse 2]
Been down in the valley
Smokin' natural collie
Gettin' inspiration
Spreadin' it to the nation
Speadin' it
'Cause that's my work
Yes, I'm spreadin' it
'Cause there's nothing else to do
[Verse 3]
People, look around you
Can't you see we're livin' in poverty?
This pain is too much for me
Oh, Jah, oh, Jah, oh, Jah
Save the people
Free them from captivity
This pain is too much to me
Oh, Jah, oh, Jah, oh, Jah
[Verse 4]
Depend on Jah, Jah kingdom
You got to be full of wisdom
Knowledge and overstanding
Givin' you by command
And Jah command you
To do his work
And if we don't
You will raise up stones
[Verse 5]
People, look around you
Can't you see we're livin' in poverty?
This pain is too much for me
Oh, Jah, oh, Jah, oh, Jah
Save the people
Free them from captivity
This pain is too much for me
Oh, Jah, oh, Jah, oh, Jah
[Verse 6]
People, look around you
Can't you see we're livin' in poverty?
This pain is too much for me
Oh, Jah, oh, Jah, oh, Jah
Save the people
Free them from captivity
This pain is too much to me
Oh, Jah, oh, Jah, oh, Jah
