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 to my say'
C-c-c-c-old ground would've serve as my/ours ("rest") bed
would've not had a place to call home
Our 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 cowboy , Indian , and bossy 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
Workin on my own(for my loaf), i can't catch my breath
The amount of work i do , i can't even get myself a day off
Those tryin to stop me, they seen it ,
they're bout to find out they're too dusty
Alright
So I say one and all one and all
One by one, we'd cease to be In Babylon
And one and all
Bring praises to 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
Save us from the damnation
We Never give up no matter what, or how firmly the pain aches
Rasta's gonna live long, freed of the slum
I/we Never give up no matter what, surrounded with Selassie blessins
The suffering is nothin but a step,
You must enlarge your perspectives, must open your horisonts
What we face in the ghetto can't be seen nowhere
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 would turn a blind eye on ya
They'd gossip only and give nothin on ya
So open up, The Heaven's 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"
Fallowin the path 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 believer, i'm just fine, on the right path,
not stumbling like yah when walkin 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 surrounded by the crowd
Black, or brown, no Blackened ribs on my chest , back
just listen this rythm/ instrumental drop and move
ya head , toe, and sway ya body
i on the mic, ST Marley voice be convincing and
strong, 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 with no buck,
an no buck with no cap
Sweetest singer was minott Man show up anc in and give me a chance
Dracula turns into Vampire , at the glimpse of the sun
Dark eyes, on the mic, Raggamuffin speaks
Cause i'm a rastaman, my mind ain't blinded,
i'm no afraid of any rat, Not afraid of any mice
Prayses i bring to Jah , i will never stop we're on fire ,
Livin in a house , 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
