Does anyone know the lyrics to “Words” by Sangie Davis/ Lee Perry?
It’s hard, but this is what I got so far with my not so good English. It’s still tough for me to work out weird accents and there’s a few rough spots, but: A man can live for a hundred years or more For hundred years and a score Not only by the words of his mouth But in the meditation of his heart Not only by the words of his mouth But the meditation of his heart God has (something!) So give him praises and we all shall live Not only by the words of our mouth but the meditation of our heart Not only by the words of our mouth but the meditation of our heart (scats) Oh yeah yeah yeah letititit oh Lord . . . Let it shine, let it shine! As long as we don’t catch the wrong It is the right Never never let it go So let all nations help us give Righteous presents to our god and king Not only by the words of your mouth but in the meditation of your heart Not only by the words of your mouth but the meditation of your heart Now don’t defy the word of your God!
