LYRICS FOR "Complaint"

[Incomprehensible]

If you do wrong, they complain
Even if you call the father's name, its the same
What they want us to do
Don't they know it is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful
There's lights of hope are still shining, shining

If you do wrong they complain
Even if you call the father's name, its the same
What they want us to do
Don't they know it is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful
There's lights of hope are still shining, shining

Let jah rise and the heathen scatter
Have to give thanks and praises, no matter
Even if the flames is getting hotter and hotter
Everybody should know I don't believe in rumor

Children arise from your sleep and slumber
[Incomprehensible] bow, come to conquer
Strictly love why you envy your brother
Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner

If you do wrong they complain
Even if you call the father's name, its the same
What they want us to do
Don't they know it is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful
There's lights of hope are still shining, shining

Why should I change to gain acceptance
Can't tell a next man how to wear his pants
Lift up the name of jah in abundance
So every single thing we do, we are liable to get a sentence

But we won't be like a flea just like
How the more we see
And the less you hear we speak
My brother don't you be like a stubborn sheep

Blessed are he when man shall revile you
And persecute you, say all manner of evil
Against you falsely, for jah sake
Rejoice I say and be exceedingly glad
For great is your reward
For so persecute they the prophets before you and me

If you do wrong they complain
Even if you call the father's name, its the same
What they want us to do
Don't they know it is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful
There's lights of hope are still shining, shining

Let jah rise and the heathen scatter
Have to give thanks and praises, no matter
Even if the flames is getting hotter and hotter
Everybody should know I don't believe in rumor

Children arise from your sleep and slumber
[Incomprehensible] bow, come to conquer--3:03
Strictly love why you envy your brother
Don't let them re-arrange you in a different manner

If you do wrong they complain
Even if you call the father's name, its the same
What they want us to do
Don't they know it is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful
There's lights of hope are still shining, shining

If you do wrong they complain
Even if you call the father's name, its the same
What they want us to do
Don't they know it is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing, they should be thankful
There's lights of hope are still shining, shining
