Bob Marley - So Much Things To Say


(Bob Marley)

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Ooh yeah, yeah!

They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.
 
Eh! But I'll never forget no way: they crucified Jesus Christ; Matthew 27:21-24 - The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
I'll never forget no way: they sold Marcus Garvey for rice. Oo-ooh! Nehemiah 5:8 - And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
Psalm 105:17 - He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Joel 3:3 - And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Amos 2:6 - Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
Matthew 10:29 - Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
Acts 7:9 - And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
I'll never forget no way: they turned their back on Paul Bogle. Hey-ey! Job 34:27 - Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
Jeremiah 32:33 - And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
So don't you forget your youth,
who you are and where you stand in the struggle.

They go so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very,
so very, so very, so very, so very, so very -
everything they say - so much to say.
They got so much things to say, so much things to say.

I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places.
 
So while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
Psalm 18:49 - Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
Psalm 106:47 - Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
'Cos I'n'I don't expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Galatians 1:10 - For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Oh, true they have found me guilty,
But through - through Jah proved my innocency.
Psalm 109:3-4 - They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
Lamentations 3:58-60 - O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now,
It don't fall on one man's housetop. Remember that:
When the rain fall,
It don't fall on one man's housetop.
Matthew 5:45 - That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
They singing: so very much, so very much, oh so very much,
so very, very -
They got so much things to say right now;
yeah, they got so much things to say.

Hey, but I'n'I - I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places.
So while, so while, so while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
I'n'I don't expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, hey through Jah to prove my innocency,
I told you wicked think they found me guilty.

They got la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
- they "la" very much all the time.

So much things to say, rumour about,
they got so much without humour,
 
they don't know what they're doing, yeah. Luke 23:34 - Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

- Thanks to Marydread for pointing out the quotation from Matthew 5:45 :-)
