Big Neck Police - The Upsetters, Lee "Scratch" Perry

A time to sow and a time to reap, yes, my friend

The seed you sow, that’s what you shall reap

To full a belly

You light the fire, to burn this Nyah

But it no work out, you’re just a weakheart

You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up

But it no work

For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene

You get a jerk

Far better put they trust in Jah

Shall like be Mount Zion-I

That shall never removeth, iyah

But abideth for-iwa, Jah Jah

The knife that stick de sheep a go stick de goat, do you hear?

How you gonna feel when de knife is at your throat?

For sowing bring reaping, and reaping is harves'

The seed that you sow a yard that’s what you shall reap, yeah

Do you hear?

Jah is I light and salvation, whom shall I fear?

Jah de protector of I life, of whom shall I be afraid?

Hypocrite inna broad daylight, parasite inna dim light

Dreadlocks in moonlight, baldhead at sunrise, oh

Jah Jah is I shepherd, I shall not want

Do you hear?

Do you see?

Jah Jah is I shepherd I shall not want

You send your big neck police friends fe come cool I up

But it no work

For Jah Jah walk right in and cool up the scene

You get a jerk, you get a jerk, it no work

You set your {struggle/scrotum] (?)

Little did you know

Jah put shackles on your trail

It didn’t work

It couldn’t work…
