 I Know

When the race gets hard to run It means you just can't take the pace When it's time to have your fun You find the tears run on down through Your face, then you stop and think a little Are you the victim of the system Anyday now they gonna let you down Remember Natty will be there To see you through And ain't it good to know now JAH will be waiting there Ain't it doggone good to know you all JAH will be waiting there Wait in Summer, wait in Spring Wait in Autumn, Winter thing Tribes goes up, all the tribe goes down Bring my children from the end of the earth

Many a time I sit and wonder why This race so, so very hard to run Then I say to my soul take courage Battle to be won Like a ship that's tossed and driven Battered by the angry sea yeah! Say the tide of time was raging Don't let the fury fall on me, no, no, no Cause I know JAH will be waiting there Ain't it good to know now JAH will be waiting there Lost and found, who speak I give Speak I give, lost and found (repeat)

 I Shot The Sheriff

I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, Ooh, ooh, ooh All around in my home town They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy For the life of a deputy (But I say) I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self-defence I shot the sheriff And they say it is a capital offence Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what, I don't know Every time I plant a seed He said kill it before it grow He said kill them before they grow

(Read it in the news) I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self-defence (Where was the deputy?) I shot the sheriff (but I swear it was in self-defence) Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town, yeah All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown Aiming to shoot me down So I shot - I shot him down and I say If I'm guilty I will pay I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy Reflexes had got the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket a go a well One day the bottom a go drop out One day the bottom a go drop out
