Why
boasteth thyself, O evil men;
Playing smart and not being clever, oh no!
I say you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity, yeah, if a-so a-so. |
Psalms
52:1 - Why boastest thou
thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness
of God endureth continually.
Psalms 94:4 -
How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Proverbs 22:8 -
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and
the rod of his anger shall fail.
Isaiah 59:4 -
None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for
truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they
conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Jeremiah 2:5 -
Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your
fathers found in me, that they are gone far from
me, and have walked after vanity, and are become
vain? |
But the
goodness of Jah-Jah
Idureth for Iver. |
Psalm
106:1 - Praise ye the LORD. O
give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for
his mercy endureth for ever. |
If you are the
big tree,
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down, (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down, oh yeah! |
Matthew
3:10 - And now also the axe is
laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every
tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire. |
These are the
words of my master
Keep on tellin' me - o-oh! - no weak heart shall
prosper:
Oh no, they can't! Eh. |
Proverbs
28:13 - He that covereth his
sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and
forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Jeremiah 22:30
- Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man
childless, a man that shall not prosper in his
days: for no man of his seed shall prosper,
sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any
more in Judah. |
And whosoever
diggeth a pit, Lord,
Shall fall in it - shall fall in it.
Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it - shall bury in it. |
Proverbs
26:27 - Whoso diggeth a pit
shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone,
it will return upon him.

- Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an
evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit:
but the upright shall have good things in
possession.
Ecclesiastes 10:8
- He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and
whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. |
If you are the
big tree,
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down,
Ready to cut you down.

Whosoever diggeth the pit
Shall fall in it - fall in it, eh!
Whosoever diggeth the pit
Shall bury in it - shall bury in it.
If you are the big tree,
We have a small axe
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down.
If you are the big tree,
Let me tell you this: we are the small axe
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down.
If you have a big tree ... /fade-out/ |
