'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying', (this is my message to you)
Singing' don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', this is my message to you
Singin' don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh
Every little thing gonna be alright, don't worry
Singin' don't worry about a thing, I won't worry
"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singin' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright, I won't worry
Singin', don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singin' don't worry about a thing, oh no
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Nonsense
We unlike the DISRESPECTFUL VIDEO that displays a #RASTAFARIAN MAN as a Pig in what is being claimed as the official video
Bob Marley wouldn’t eat, touch, or portray himself as a pig it’s VEHEMENTLY against that is good & Holy to the man & to Rastafarian’s the world over
Could only be done by a Whyte cultural appropriator because they DONT truly KNOW & RESPECT the CULTURE yet seek to claim OWNERSHIP and RIGHTS to it .. !!!
The CAU-CACITY of it all
