Lyrics :
Intro
He that keepeth his mouth , keepeth his life..
chat..chat.. loosely..lauph..
Chorus
You got to be careful
Who you trust nowadays
Nuff say them a friends
But they want you see the grave
Dem ungrateful
See there them a snake
Wicked man will have to run away
Got to be careful
Who you trust nowadays
The bad mind showing from you look ina dem face
Dem ungrateful
Right now dem a snake
And a gwan like female come a trace
Verse 1
The bad mind please you have to stop it
The dirty heart please put it away
I tell you
The malice and the grudge
You have to drop it
Don t fight your brother
Full time unu stop it
Cause even when you are good to someone
Them still say bad
99 times you give them
Yet them still a bawl
Your best ain t good enough
Them blame you in a once
But even when it s rough
Jah is my resort
Chorus
You got to be careful
Who you trust nowadays
Nuff say them a friends
But they want you see the grave
Dem ungrateful
See there them a snake
Wicked man will have to run away
Got to be careful
Who you trust nowadays
The bad mind showing from you look ina dem face
Dem ungrateful
Right now dem a snake
And a gwan like female come a trace
Verse 2
yaw stay closely
Protect your mind, chill your heart
Evil surrounds you
So be wise and smart
Crabs in a barrel
Brings you down to asphalt
You can only trust yourself
No matter what dem a talk
Left it to allmighty God
Riches a go come
But stand up and work for what you want
It s a vain and it feels so sad
To see another brother
Move like left-hand crab
Ignorant in a heart
Dirty mind tan bad
Grudge for the things that you have
Sigmatise all your name and act up bad
So we put you in a scandal bag
Chorus
You got to be careful
Who you trust nowadays
Nuff say them a friends
But they want you see the grave
Dem ungrateful
See there them a snake
Wicked man will have to run away
Got to be careful
Who you trust nowadays
The bad mind showing from you look ina dem face
Dem ungrateful
Right now dem a snake
And a gwan like female come a trace .

Ah wait upon a savior

Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
Do not be no slave
To the system dem create yah
Verse 1
Trismegistus, Orunmila nuh mix up
All is in the mind, so the battlefield of choice
Is the regions they divide, to left and to the right
Just to keep the people blind, never seeking the divine
When the power is within to heal a nation
Be mindful where you focus your attention
Mek we build for the future generation
Liberation I ah pree so if you're sleeping
Chorus 2
So mi say fi wake up
From your mindless behavior
Ah wait upon a savior
Ah dig yu owna grave
Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
Do not be no slave
To the system dem create
Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
If you want a change
You haffi change yu owna nature
Just wake up
From your slumber rise up now
Verse 2
Sure as the sun rise in the east
And set inna di west you know the cycles repeat
Sages through the ages warned of days just like these
The fifth stage of empire, see the blind man ah lead
But the leaders only lead tru you deh follow follow
Creation give we what we need and we nuh haffi borrow
Ancestral wisdom inna yu bone it deep inna yu marrow
Technology take knowledge if you let it conquer yu
Mind with them hyperstimulation
Dem advertise, avert your eyes from creation
Rastaman ah hold a higher meditation
Integration of the mind mean separation from the swine
Chorus 2
So mi say fi wake up
From your mindless behavior
Ah wait upon a savior
Ah dig yu owna grave
Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
Do not be no slave
To the system dem create
Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
If you want a change
You haffi change yu owna nature
Just wake up
From your slumber rise up now
Verse 3
Life is for living and giving thanks giving
What kind of life yu livin gif your mind is a prison
Consumerism can't satisfy the spirit
Your wealth must be attached to your purpose and your mission
Life is for living and giving thanksgiving
If you diss it you will miss it as the world keeps on spinning
Eternal is the witness of the fittest of the fittest
Evolution nuh have no time fi regress
Chorus 2
So mi say fi wake up
From your mindless behavior
Ah wait upon a savior
Ah dig yu owna grave
Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
Do not be no slave
To the system dem create
Mi say wake up
From your mindless behavior
If you want a change
You haffi change yu owna nature
Just wake up
From your slumber rise up now
Outro
Wake up x3 (x4)
Open up your eyes, you nuh see the time,
You nuh see the sign, you walking blind
Open up your eyes, you nuh see the sign
Memba freedom is a state of mind
