Mix Up Mix Up
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Oh lord, oh lord, oh lord, yeah!
Starting the song with a prayer and calling out to the Lord.

Well, it's not easy, It's not easy
Acknowledging that life is not easy.

Speak the truth, come on, speak. eh, now!
Encouraging people to speak the truth.

It ever cause it what it will:
Accepting whatever consequences come from speaking the truth.

He who hide the wrong he did
If someone is hiding something wrong they did, it is still wrong.

Surely did the wrong thing still.
There is no escaping the fact that wrong is still wrong.

Get in the studio of, Studio of time and experience
Life is like a studio where we gain experience.

Here we experience the good and bad;
Life is full of ups and downs, good and bad experiences.

What we have, and what we had
We must appreciate what we have and not look back with regret.

This session (session), Not just another version (version).
This particular moment in life is unique and cannot be replaced with another version.

Oh lord, give me a session (session), Not another version (version)!
Asking the Lord for a meaningful moment in life, not just another repetitive experience.

They're so much stumbling blocks right in-a our way:
Life is full of obstacles and challenges.

Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday;
Every day is a new challenge to overcome.

There's so much wanting, so much gaining, so much have done.
Life is full of desires, achievements, and accomplishments.

Too much little mix-up, in the mix-up, yes!
There are too many small problems within bigger problems.

Too much little mix up!
Reiterating that there are too many small problems.

Too much of this mix up - mix up!
Life is too complicated and full of problems.

I was born in the country, right on top of the hill
Bob Marley is stating where he comes from.

I still remain, i know i still, i will-a,
He is proud of his roots and will always remember where he comes from.

But through your f...in' respect and through your false pride
People's disrespect and false pride can cause problems.

Someone want to take jah - jah - jah children for a ride!
Someone wants to take advantage of the innocent.

Shut up! open the gate, and let the saints through.
Calling out those who are deceiving and allowing truth to flourish.

Hey, you been talkin' all your mouth full of lies, Sitting there toppling and, lord, they criticize.
Calling out those who talk a lot of lies and criticize others.

So through the eyes of the fool the deaf is wise, And through the eyes of the wise the fool is size.
Everyone has their own perspective and can be viewed as wise or foolish depending on who is judging.

Saying is too much mix up - mix up!
Reiterating that life is too complicated.

I want to clear the wheel once and for all;
Bob Marley wants clarity and to resolve all problems.

I want to clear my wheels, i don't care who fall!
He wants to resolve problems regardless of who gets hurt.

I gotta clear my wheels once and for all;
He has to resolve all of his problems.

Clear my wheels, i don't care who fall - fall:
Again, he is willing to resolve problems even if it means someone else will get hurt.

Hey! mr. music, why don't you want to play?
Asking the music industry why they are not promoting meaningful messages.

Don't you know today is a bright holiday? yeah! (holiday)
Life should be celebrated as if every day was a holiday.

Some people waiting for the message that you bring, They listening to every word that you'll sing.
People want to hear meaningful messages through music.

Singing: (too much mix-up - mix-up)
Reiterating that life is too complicated.

(too much little mix up!)
Again, there are too many small problems within bigger problems.

Would you groove along now (too much mix up - mix up), yeah!
Asking the audience to vibe with the music despite the problems in life.

Yes, would you groove along now (too much little mix-up!)
Again, asking the audience to vibe despite life's problems.

They just can't stop you know (too much mix-up - mix-up)!
Despite the problems in life, people should keep pushing forward.
