The Late Ones - Brother's Keeper Lyrics

Jah!
Said a wise man
Only a wise man
Said a wise man
Yeah

A wise man understands he knows nothing
And a fool thinks he knows all
I and I say the bigger the tree
The harder they fall
Rasta plant his seed in jah soil
So the I may grow to do righteous works
Ay ay
Be thy brother's keeper
Oh guide and show him the ropes

Give him some hope
Be thy brother's keeper
Get the pickney off the ropes
Be thy brother's keeper
Give him some hope
Be thy brother's keeper
Get the pickney off the ropes
Be thy brother's keeper
Be thy brother's keeper
Be thy brother's keeper
Be thy brother's keeper
Ay ay ay

In these days the people need hope
So we make sure the message dope
Life is kinda like going toes with Mike Tyson
So I stay off them ropes
No turtlenecks
I don't choke
I would catch a bullet for my folks
No man gets left behind especially when I'm on the rise like ice cream as floats
My homies my homies
This track's for the homies
The group is tight together we fight
But we don't play stations like Sony
Man, why they looking all lonely
I hope it's not cuz you phony
I make sure that the team get a piece of the pie pepperoni
My brother's keeper

And I am his banging out since we was kids
My brother's keeper 
He got my back I got his back then we both win
My brother's keeper 
I see my people take and take it's time to give
My brother's keeper 
My brother's keeper
Thanks and praise to the most high man light up the spliff
My brother's keeper 
Reggae is the weapon yeah to the king we sing
Babylon can't touch I no matter what they bring
When the going gets tough the tough get going people ain't knowing
You reap what you sow bet I'm watching what I'm growing

We got to love
We got to love 
One another
We got to love

Give him some hope
Be thy brother's keeper
Get the pickney off the ropes
Be thy brother's keeper
Give him some hope
Be thy brother's keeper
Get the pickney off the ropes
Be thy brother's keeper
Ay
Be thy brother's keeper
Ay
Be the brother's keeper
Ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay ay
