Four Sevens

Remember Jah Jah say that time are go red all day
Every runnin' are go run red, oh Lord

I need a roof over my head
I need a roof over my head
With bread on my table
It's love, oh lord, in my heart
With love, oh lord, for everyone

Remember Jah Jah say that time are go dread all day
And every runnin' are go run red, oh Lord

Natty whip dem, wheel dem (Move)
Say, they want to lash dem, flash dem
Tell me what the seventh of the seventh
We're talking to the seventh of the seventh
It's a nineteen-seventy-seventh
It's gonna be the seventh of the seventh
Nineteen-seventy-seventh

When natty going to whip dem, wheel dem
And tell me so me want to lash dem, flash
Tell dem lick him an' a lash him
Yes, him are a whipping an' a wheeling an' a lashing up him
Singing natty whip dem, wheel dem
Sing, oh father be merciful
But no mercy for the merciless, I say

Singing natty whip dem, wheel dem
Want a little love in a di ghetto
Say, want more love in a di city
Cah, natty going to whip dem, wheel
To the seventh of the seventh, the seventy-seventh
To the seventh of the seventh, nineteen-seventy-seventh
When the four-seven clash
Then show me to the big miss flash
When the four-seven clash

Natty whip dem, wheel dem
Say, they want to lash dem, flash dem

We don't want no more backbiting
Lord-our-Lord, we don't no want no backstabbing
'Cause natty got to whip dem, wheel dem
Have him on a scale, him want to get dem out of sight
He will keep dem out of mind
When he whip dem, wheel dem
Singing, oh lord, natty whip dem, flash dem
Love in a di kingdom, of di heaven, of di ghetto, I say
