Paroles: Le Peuple de l'Herbe. Radio Blood Money. Judge Not.
Can?t judge a book by looking at da cover Don?t you judge me before you know me brother
Some people are evil. We?re righteous, Whatever
Can?t judge a book by looking at da cover Don?t you judge me before you know me brother
Some people are evil. We?re righteous, Whatever
Out in the Babylon streets where I walk Most of the people I meet give me bad looks
They wanna suss me out, analyze me Check out who I am, check out my lifestyle
Wanna put me in one of them files All spies eyes on me, they X-ray me
Cause they wanna know who I am What I know, what I don?t know
What I must say, what I can?t say But me just tell them I?m a street preacher
Preaching to take the youth higher ?Cause your lies are keeping them lower
But some don?t like it, so they start fighting me, Criticising me, I know they don?t know
But they gonna judge, again & again
Can?t judge a book by looking at da cover Don?t you judge me before you know me brother
Some people are evil. We?re righteous, Whatever
Can?t judge a book by looking at da cover Don?t you judge me before you know me brother
Some people are evil. We?re righteous, Whatever
They judge me through the colour of my skin They judge me through my hairstyle
They blame me ?cause my clothes are full of holes
They fear me ?cause I look dirty & mean, you know what I mean
Natty dreadlock walking amongst the living-dead, never afraid
Keep up my head even when the fire burns red I don?t care about the threats they spread,
Lion walk, Lion walk
Inna dem jungle, urban jungle, face dem, never tremble
Can?t judge a book by looking at da cover Don?t you judge me before you know me brother
Some people are evil. We?re righteous, Whatever
Can?t judge a book by looking at da cover Don?t you judge me before you know me brother
Some people are evil. We?re righteous, Whatever
Judging me, begrudging me, we have to win
Survive the daily drudgery, Evil and sin.
Merely a man, righteous plan
I go about my business the best as I can
Deny the darkness. Don?t start this again
Judging my soul by the colour of skin
Rid of this prejudice, we can try
Walk my Brother,
with your head held high.
They hear me talk, true me talk a humble talk, walk a humble walk
Roots man inna the city improve my naturality, yes, humbleness & simplicity
That?s the truth I?m gonna tell them youth: get rid of the bling & run come sing
Edutainment we a bring, run come sing, and don?t care what the Babylonians say
They wanna see me act their way, can?t follow them & go astray
Wise & upright, staying on the right line, can?t fool my mind, can?t drive me blind
True, I know myself, got love for myself, peace for the people around,
Express it through the sound, they can?t stop me from blowing the truth
I sing to elevate the youth, run come sing, run come sing, it?s the real thing,
Run come sing my song & let them talk.
They tried me but can?t prove me guilty, through they don?t know
They gonna judge & judge again, they accused me but can?t prove me guilty
True they don?t know, yet me dread & fiercy, never afraid of their judgement
Only the Most High could afford to judge me so I tell them : nobody judge
from your hearts are not clean, from your hands are not clean
Le Peuple de l'Herbe
