Picture on the Wall - Gappy Ranks

Nah buy what dem sell me

Nah go listen what di newspaper tell me

And it’s not what you know it’s what you learn

Play with fyah you must get burn

(Wah me say)

Inna me yard me have a picture pon di wall

It’s all of my greatest heroes

And everyday I look pon it and I see babylon fall

Watch up for di food weh dem a feed

Imagine Mandela no get up and talk

Imagine Luther King nah made di million man march

Imagine uncle Noah neva build up an arch

Imagine Bob Marley neva grow locks

Imagine Marcus Garvey neva come from yard

Imagine Moses not putting faith inna god

(Yow)

Cause when you search you ah go find what you never knew

You haffi know weh you come from before you know weh you ah go

Inna me yard me have a picture pon di wall

It’s all of my greatest heroes

And everyday I look pon it and I see babylon fall

Watch up for di food weh dem a feed

What happened, tell me where di rebel dem gone

What happened,

What happened tell America stop dropping dem bombs

What happened, oh we no make a march long time

What happened, like some youth no see di biblical sign

What happened to di people who used to give thanks

Local library history book,

Cause when you search you ah go find what you never knew

You haffi know weh you come from before you know weh you ah go

Inna me yard me have a picture pon di wall

It’s all of my greatest heroes

And everyday I look pon it and I see babylon fall

Watch up for di food weh dem a feed

Inna me yard me have a picture pon di wall

It’s all of my greatest heroes

And everyday I look pon it and I see babylon fall

Watch up for di food weh dem a feed

Imagine Mandela no get up and talk

Imagine Luther King nah made di million man march

Imagine uncle Noah neva build up an arch

(Yow)

Cause when you search you ah go find what you never knew

You haffi know weh you come from before you know weh you ah go

Inna me yard me have a picture pon di wall

All for one and all for one

Inna me yard me have a picture pon di wall

It’s all of my greatest heroes

And everyday I look pon it and I see babylon fall

Watch up for di food weh dem a feed
