lyrics

Nice Up

Listen evil man, are you listening to this?
I can't live in this world you invent
with the lies that you speak
the people that you cheat
Wind up alone in Babylon begging pardon
and I will tell you straight
you can't come in my garden
so nice up
I said nice up

And listen up evil man, are you listening to me?
Can't take the youth spirit for your own glory
yeah, keep up trying I promise you'll be sorry
‘Cuz them souls gonna march to Zion
and Babylon will pay for killing and lying
s nice up x4

Nice up the land for the sisters and brothers
Cice up the land for the fathers and mothers
The little children you see on the street
Grow food for their bellies
put shoes on their feet
and nice up ×4

I want you to remember giant that you are
it's in memory of David that I wear this star
With help from Jah, and this song I sing
you will fall like Goliath, with a stone from my sling
so I say to you again man, be responsible
and nice up×4

‘Cuz I don't want to see you be left waiting
and I can't bear to watch my brethren die
I can't abide no killing nor hating
Don't you know war make people die
Don't you know war make people cry
Don't you know what make mama cry, Lord have mercy

So come up now for the fires raging
listen to this proposal I'm staging
Put aside all the war that you're waging
And let the people live
in peace, and love, and unity
Right now
