Goodways

Just organize and centralize my people because Babylon now
Instill malicious and grudge upon my people now
You see the dutty lifestyle
The Rastaman a burn it

There's nothing in them system of which they create all around
They criticize their own idren yet they
Would catch at a straw if they were to drown
They're not different from those scribes and pharisees who come around
They lurks in the corners, skylarks on the streets, flirt in the towns
They never do positive, they find a
Joy making people business their own
Dance a yard before you dance a bride
The high priest tell you that a new day from
Go long go get good ways, through grace
Haffi purge fi pass Zion gate
You haffi have good ways, it give you long days
Nah take no bribe from not a screw face

Go get good ways, good grace
Purge fi pass Zion gate
You haffi have some good ways, it give you long days

Oh, what do you say
I tell you now
They await your downfall
Fi go labor on top, yo, hold it deh
Greater joy a come, mi son, you haffi go
Have a lock it a board fi lock, I
When Babylon city a go down
Propaganda weh them spread becomes a dagger to them heart
Think say them have a secret
The baby reveal it, say them a work witchcraft
How say them better, so them a close in
Can't tell the youth them weh them pass
Every man is equal, Rastafari say
From that time they ungodly part

Go long go get good ways, long days
Purge fi pass Zion gate
What about your good ways, it give you length of days

Yo, now you taste how your medicine deh taste
What, what, what, ey, what them know
A chat 'bout them this, them that, who slick from who flat
Them say mass, Joe Bush, and anything
Else weh fi come a just derubation trash
Everyday a that them practice
The same thing, them never yet know when fi stop
Full up of bad mind
Then a wha' make you haffi see your brother drop

Go and have some good ways, through grace
Purge before you pass Zion gate
Go and have some good ways, it give you long days

Oh, now them chase how them medicine deh taste
Good ways, long days
Nah leggo King Selassie, true no screw face
Good ways, it give you length of days
Nah take no bribe from no screw face

Just have some good ways, it give you length of days
Oh, this a one a true fight, I tell you now
There's nothing in the system that they create around
They criticize their own idren yet them
Would catch at a straw if they were to drown
Don't you see they're not much different from
The scribes and the pharisees who come around
