Bob Marley - Stiff Necked Fools


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for simplicity
Deuteronomy 9:13 - Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Psalm 75:4-5 - I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
Yes you have gone, for so long
With your love for vanity now
Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain imagination
Romans 1:21 - Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
So take JAH Sun, and JAH Moon
And JAH Rain and JAH Stars
And forever yes erase your fantasy, yeah
 
The lips of the righteous teach many
But fools die for want to wisdom
Proverbs 10:21 - The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
The rich man's wealth is in his city Proverbs 10:15 - The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Proverbs 18:11 - The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
The righteous' wealth is in His Holy Place Psalm 112:1-3 - Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
So take JAH Sun and JAH Moon
And JAH Rain, and JAH Stars
And forever, yes erase your fantasy
 
Destruction of the poor is in their poverty Proverbs 10:15 - The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Destruction of the soul is vanity, yea Proverbs 18:7 - A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for simplicity, yeah, yeah
Yes you have gone, gone for so long
With your love for vanity now

But I don't wanna rule ya
I don't wanna fool ya
I don't wanna school ya
Things you, you might never know about

Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain, vain imagination

Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for, ooh simplicity
