Lyrics

Why boasteth thyself, oh evil man Playing smart and not being clever? I said you're working iniquity To achieve vanity, yeah (if I sow, I sow) But the goodness of Jah, Jah I'doreth for Iver So if you are the big tree We are the small axe Ready to cut you down To cut you down These are the words of my Master Keep on telling me No weak heart shall prosper And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it, fall in it And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it (fall in it) If you are the big tree, let me tell you that We are the small axe, sharp and ready Ready to cut you down To cut you down (To cut you down) (To cut you down) These are the words of my Master Telling me that No weak heart shall prosper And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall bury in it (bury in it) If you are the big, big tree We are the small axe Ready to cut you down To cut you down If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that We are the small axe Ready to cut you down To cut you down
