So Jah, give me oil inna my lamp,
Jah give me little oil inna my lamp,
Jah give me, look how I lam a lamp,
Jah give me, look how I lam a lamp,
Jah give me, look how I lam a lamp,
Not just listenin' with your ears
but with your mind meditatin'
And a vibin' to the words
that Fatou Bantan is preachin'
A foolish man will tell you
cultural lyrics is boring
I will leave the punk who's speechless
when I ask him who he a dealin'
his brain will be dissolving
Smoke will come out of him ears
like an old rundown engine
Like a man struck by lightning,
he'll wonder what hit him
I'll cramp and paralyze him
and then I will leave him
It don't matter if he's yellow,
brown, pink or green skin
Whoever fight against Jah
surely deserves a beating
So give me a little oil in my lamp,
Jah give me a little oil in my lamp,
Just give me a little oil in my lamp,
Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
Well the devil is a crook,
He'll break into your brain
and check what you're thinking
If you're dreaming of gold,
then gold you'll be wearing
If you're wishing for money,
then money you'll be spending
If you're hoping for fun,
then fun you'll be having
all good things must come to an ending
Adam and Eve inna di garden,
Love between Cain and Abel,
Many good times I've had,
Every wrong move you make,
brings you nearer towards him
while you are still living
To choose a life of goodness,
or a life full of sinning
come to the fiery dungeon
He's only a wicked man's soul,
Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
Jah give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
Now all careless children,
Not just listenin' with your ears
but with your mind concentratin'
I hope you don't think I'm jokin'
If you listen truth and right
and a study diverse touchin'
Give thanks and praise in the night,
also first thing a mornin'
Try fi squeeze in couple chapter fi
also mind what you sayin'
Every day, every hour, every minute,
every second Jah is watchin'
That's why me say, do good,
and good will follow you, yeah
Just give me look up and I'm a lamp,
Jah give me look up and I'm a lamp,
Just give me look up and I'm a lamp,
Just give me look up and I'm a lamp,
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin'
I'm going to show how to do it, but first
