Small Axe

Why boasteth thyself, oh evil men

playing smart and being clever, oh no

I say, you're working inequity

to achieve vanity, yeah, if I sow I sow

but the goodness of Jah, Jah

I'doreth for Iver

If you are a big tree,

We are the small axe

sharpened to cut you down (we shall)

ready to cut you down, oh yeah

These are the words of my Master

keep on telling me

no weak heart shall prosper

oh no, they can't, eh

And whosoever diggeth a pit

shall fall in it, shall fall in it

Whosoever diggeth a pit

shall bury in it, shall bury in it

If you are a big tree,

We are the small axe

sharpened to cut you down

ready to cut you down

And whosoever diggeth a pit

shall fall in it, fall in it, eh

Whosoever diggeth a 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 (we shall)

sharpened to cut you down
