Why boasteth thyselfO evil men;
Playing smart and not being cleveroh no!
I say you re working iniquity
To achieve vanityyeahif a-so a-so.
But the goodness of Jah - Jah
Idureth for Iver.

If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down(well sharp)
Ready to cut you downoh yeah!

These are the words of my master
Keep on tellin me - o-oh! - no weak heart shall prosper:
Oh nothey can t! Eh.

And whosoever diggeth a pitLord
Shall fall in it - shall fall in it.
Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it - shall bury in it.

If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down
Ready to cut you down.

Whosoever diggeth the pit
Shall fall in it - fall in iteh!
Whosoever diggeth the pit
Shall bury in it - shall bury in it.

If you are the big tree
We have a small axe
Ready to cut you down(well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down.

If you are the big tree
Let me tell you this: we are the small axe
Ready to cut you down(well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down.

If you have a big tree ... [fadeout]
