lyrics
[Chorus:]
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
I say, Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
[Capleton:]
Listen the man sayin'
R-R-Rock stone was my pillow couldn't find a place
for sleep
Pots they're empty, we must find food to eat
Day by day we're terrorized by them soldiers and police
While things gets stormy and arousing
They act cow boy , Indian , and Chief style
From the first, to the third, straight up to seven street
One thing in our minds , is to crush the beast
And make it in the life
Because them precious "stones" they pay off
Self employ, cannot get lay off
The amount of work i do , i can't even get myself a day off
Who wished for stoping me they seen it , they're too dusty
Alright
So I say one by one, one by one
Then one by one, one by one
Hail the King Selassie , the lion conquerer
Lion Lion
[Chorus:]
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
I say, Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
Sizzla:]
Help us jah
Take us from the damnation
Never give up no matter what, or how firmly the fire burn
Hail Rasta, take us from the slum
I Never give up no matter what, i'm blessed
The suffering is a thing
You must enlarge your perspectives, must to broaden
yah mind
What we face in the ghetto nowhere else can you find
Hunger, Poverty, a system so unkind
As a matter of fact, there is an after shock
When cold ground was my bed and my pillow was a rock
Tryin to make it through the system all doors were locked
Yet nothing beats a try, so I ain't gonna stop
Often they writes books about yah
A bunch of dirt they'd throw at yah
Yet when at hard times , they wouldn't see you
They would only gossip
So open up, the zion door
Ethiopia Africa for sure
Liberate the poor, the poor, ehhh!!
I'm not lying, truly I hail Selassie, they crave for war, I
Read my bible , turn face to peace and praise Fari
Good bye babylon good bye, good bye!!
Open up, the Zion "door"
Travel towards Zion , Ethiopia for sure
Children of Israel, children of Israel
[Chorus:]
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
I say, Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
[Stephen Marley:]
Listen me now
Jah man , i'm on right path, not stumbling like yah walkin on the street ,
I'm not the one to be taken as a fool
Arriving at the singing, the mic is my tool ,The food on table sitting in crowd
Black, or brown, no Blackened ribs on my chest , back
Wait just to hear this rythm/ instrumental drop Ya move ya head , toe,
and rock ya body
When i'm on the mic, Sreve Marley convincing and strong talkin , not
goin around tail
The peaceful, righteos, rastaman Rod in the hand of his
Preaching out to man and woman, give value to King Solomon
Now bass come out and trebble a top Cap an no buck,
an nuh buck a no cap
Sweetest singer was sugar minott Man a come in and ah give me a shot
Dracula turns into Vampire , When the sun he sees can't stand it
Dark eyes , i n the mic, Raggamuffin talking
My head has no locks, my head isn't plain, Not afraid of any rat,
Not afraid of any mice
I pray to Jah , i will never stop we're on fire , we're not not cold
Livin in a gouse , not in a plain Up , In Zion , the righteous shall rise
Jah blow breeze , the devill cannot
[Chorus:]
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
I say, Rock stone was my pillow
Rock stone was my pillow
