[Bob Marley]



Life is for man to live (Let man live life! Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba-ah!);

Bread is for man to eat (Let man eat bread! Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba-ah!).

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!



Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon;

Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon;

Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon;

Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon.

Come, we go reason now;

Come-a, come-a come-a, we go reason now (we deh go reason now);

Come-a, come-a come-a, we go reason now (we deh go reason now);

Come-a, come-a come-a, we go reason now (we deh go reason now).



Where do you stand for happiness (wa-la, wa-la!)

When you no say you no want it,

While some o' dem (some o' dem, some o' dem) out deh, eh!



I bus dem shut right now

Fi get it.

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!



Woman feel the pain;

Man suffer, Lord.

Come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

Come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

Come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

Come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

Come-a, come, come-a: we go reason now;

Come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now.

Peeyah, peeyah, pyaka, come!

Peeyah, peeyah, pyaka, come!

Peeyah, peeyah, pyaka, come!

A-come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

A-come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

A-come-a, come-a, come-a: we go reason now;

Oh, come-a, come, come-a: we go reason now;

Bread and pyaka;

Sister pyaka;
