Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of...
Christ feed the multitude...
ayy
Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of bread
Poor people there is someting for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head
Poor people there is someting for you

Mankind care not for his sisters anymore
Still there is someting for you
Written in the book of life we shall live forever more
There will be someting for you

Rastaworks a manifest and it a bless a man a bloom
Nature always joins scores the tide is rising with the moon
It only take a spark to put the fire to the fume
What is hidden in the dark shall be reveal so very soon
Tell pharaoh free the prisoners from the dungeons and the doom
Tell the yutes fi natty dread and babylon put dem nah platoon
The trials and the parrels be pod on the blue lagoon
Dem no waan fe know dem history an nu see seh dem a goon

Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of bread
Poor people there is someting for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head
Poor people there is someting for you

Mankind care not for his sisters anymore
Still there is someting for you
Each an every time you see we forward of a tour
There will be someting for...

Jah give Moses ten commanments up onto da blessed stone
Lead Israel out of Egypt and then promised dem a home
Samson slew the phillystines with a DONKEY JAH BONE
An David slew Goliath with a sling an a stone hehe

Blessed be the man weh walked not inna di warzone
Blessed be the man weh hear natty an happy and grown
Blessed be the herbs weh keep I happy and stoned
Faya fi al man we sit dong inna babylon throne

Courios woman go a dance an left the pickney dem alone
Cannot take care of yourself the giddeon ready nah rome
Population under pressure still they have more man a clown
And all the ways that lock that has been lost has now been found

Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of bread
Poor people there is someting for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head
Poor people there is someting for you

Mankind care not for his sisters anymore
Still there is someting for you




Written in the book of life we shall live forever more
There will be someting for you
