---------------..............
Why boasteth thy-self, o heathen men?
Playing smart and not being clever.
I say you're working iniqui-ty,
To -chieve vanity, if -so -so,
But the goodness of Jah-Jah, en-dureth for-ever.
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe.
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
These are the words, of my Master;
No weak heart shall prosper.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall fall in it, fall in it.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall fall in it, (fall in it).
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe, (sharp and ready),
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
Oooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, to cut you down.
Oooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, to cut you down.
These are the words, of my Master;
Telling me that, no weak heart shall prosper.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall fall in it, bury in it.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall bury in it, (bury in it).
If you are the big, big tree,
We are the small axe.
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
If you are the big, big tree,
We are the small axe.
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
(Fade)
