Educated Fools

Written by：Anthony Criss/Stephen Marley/Damian Marley/Rodney Pryce

Hear this

Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree （really ）

Discussing things as they are said to be

Said one to the others now listen you two

There's a strange rumor that can't be true

They say man was ascended from our noble race

But the very idea is a big disgrace

No monkey ever deserted his wife

Or her baby to ruin their lives

Yeah

The monkeys drift is mine （that's right）

Well educated fools they have ruined di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

And then Rasta f**k it up and insight riot

Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet

Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat

Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet

Imagine after so much chantin and preyers

But a revolutionary situation requires

Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers

Surround dem ends wid all some burning tires

Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials

Until dem send di reparation dollars

Warning to all di political scholars

Political thieves and political liars

Political coc*ine and gun suppliers

Di whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires

Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers

Bound to feel the wrath of di real Bongonyahs

Hey don't f**k yourself next time you read out di budget

Di government case ah poor people a judge it

Dem bring di guns but di youths dem ah bust it

Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet

Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabits

With a warm series of pain and havoc

Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it

Dem mek mi resort to violence di race get lead up

Somebody nah live up somebody goin dead up

BLOW Whole ah di garment dem red up

BLOW Car and apartment get bled up

Didn't you get ample warning

Say poor people fed up

And still every morning

Dem try hold dem head up

Emperor Selassie calling

Youths dem fi dread up

Babylon is fallen

Gun nozzle bend up

Releasing di whole of di youth dem weh pen up

Well educated Demons they have ruined di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

And Rastaman dem f**k it up and we go insight riot

Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet

Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat

Load up dem belly with the copper shot diet

Well educated fools they have ruined di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

Well educated fools they few in di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

Well educated fools

Educated demons

And educated goons

Educated mules

Educated fools

Educated demons

And educated goons

All dem shady people dem nasty and sour

This is war last time me as block lower

Cause I represent black power

Well Almighty God inna da statue a toa

A long time me go some more dey come to devour

A trick dem with dem rice and flour ya know

Well I heard that man came from sands and other molecules

Way before bodies and barbecues

With a good side a bad side and still argue too

Before schemin and thievin and dreamin of gleamin and feenin

Even before Adam and Eve and even

Before it was about being the nicest or whose diamonds that are priceless

B C around Tutankhamun and Isis

On the continent of Africa

Pass out and tribes to create a character sold us sh*t

On earth was magical

Then the strangers came from the boat with the ropes

Chains that felt strange they called it the slave game

The game changed

They had shackled like assholes

The Bloodclaat

So now a days the way prevent it is a thugs glock

Seen them rape and kill our children and women the villain

The bill gon sort the black man how to kill men

Let's keep it real man

You can't harm me or scar me

Respect for me

History's priority with the Marleys
