Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This carry go bring come, my dear, brings misery
You're going from home to home making disturbances
It's time you stopped doing those things, you old Jezebel
The meek shall inherit this earth, you old Jezebel
It needs no light to see you're making disturbances
Instead of keeping oppression upon innocent man
Time will tell on you, you old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over my people?
It's better to seek a home in Mount Zion high
Instead of keeping oppression upon innocent man
Time will tell on you, you old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over my people?
How long shall the wicked reign over my people?
The song "Carry Go Bring Come," written by Justin Hinds, speaks about the consequences of one's actions and the importance of seeking a righteous path. The lyrics indirectly address someone who has been causing trouble by going from home to home and causing disturbances. The singer tells this person, referred to as an "old Jezebel," that their actions only bring misery and that they should stop. The lyrics suggest that it is better to seek a home in Mount Zion high, which alludes to the biblical holy mountain, instead of oppressing innocent people.
The meek shall inherit the earth, according to the lyrics, which echoes the Biblical verse in Matthew 5:5. The singer implies that the person causing trouble is not meek and will eventually face the consequences of their actions. The phrase "carry go bring come" is a Jamaican Patois expression that means to bring back the consequences of one's actions. The repeated phrase in the chorus emphasizes the negative outcomes that result from disturbing people's homes.
