Rock Stone Lyrics - Capleton

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

I say, rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

1; Capleton 

Hear de man say 

R-R-Rock stone was my pillow 

Couldna find place fi sleep 

Pot dem empty, we haffi find food fi eat 

Everyday we terrorize 

By soldier and police 

When the thing dem a strum 

And the thing dem a beat 

From dem a play cowboy 

And Indian, and chief 

From the first, to the third 

Straight up to seven street 

One thing in a we mind 

Haffe trample the beast 

And make it in a life 

And inherit as the meek 

Self employed, cannot get lay off 

Mount a work mi have 

Can't even get a day off 

Who did waan fi stop mi now 

Dem find out seh dem way off 

Alright 

So mi seh one by one, one by one 

One by one we stepping out ah babylon 

And then one by one, one by one 

Hail the King Selassie I, the conquering lion 

Lion, Lion 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

I say, rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

2; Sizzla: 

Help us Jah 

Take us from the slum 

Neva giveup matta what 

Strictly fire burn 

Hail rasta, take us from the slum 

Neva giveup matta what 

King Selassie I blessing come 

Sufferation is a thing 

Could be no harder time 

Got to widen your views 

Got to broaden your mind 

What we face in the ghetto 

Nowhere else can you find 

Hunger, poverty, a system so unkind 

As a matter of fact 

There is an aftershock 

When cold ground was my bed 

And my pillow was a rock 

Try to make it through the system 

All the doors were locked 

Yet nothing beats a try 

And so I ain't go stop 

Mount a time they write a book on you 

A set amount a crap 

They would a put on you 

Yet when you in the dirt 

They wouldn't look on you 

They would only scorn 

And wanna wipe they foot on you 

So open up, Zion door 

Ethiopia Africa for sure 

Liberate the poor, the poor, ehhh 

Mi nah lie, true mi hail 

Selassie I dem waah fi war I 

Read mi bible 

Turn to peace 

And praise 'tafari 

Goodbye babylon goodbye, goodbye 

Open up zion door 

Mount Zion Ethiopia for sure 

Children of Israel, children of Israel, Eh 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

I say, rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

3; Stephen Marley: 

Hear me now 

Jah man me cool, nuh stumble like you 

Walk pon di street, me nuh gwaan for fool 

Arrive at the dance, di mic a my tool 

Eat pon table, sit inna stool 

Me black me brown, me brown no black 

Ribs an me chest, me spine a me back 

Wait till you hear, when dis riddim drop 

Head, you toe, you body a rock 

From mi pon di mic, Steve Marley ah chat 

Firm and strong, doh step pon the lot 

The peaceful, righteous, Rastaman 

Rod of correction, inna mi hand 

Preachin out to man and woman 

Give riches to King Solomon 

Now, bass come out, and treble a top 

Cap an no buck, an nuh a no cap 

Sweetest singer, was sugar minott 

Man a come in and ah give me a shot 

Dracula tun inna Vampire bat 

When him see sun, him cyah take that 

Eye dem dark, fi use contact 

I pon the mic, Raggamuffin a chat 

Fi mi head dread, me head it no plat 

Nuh fraid ah no mouse, nuh fraid ah no rat 

Pray to Jah, me never will stop 

We hot no cold, wah cold nuh hot 

Live in a house, no live in a flat 

Up inna zion, De righteous will top 

Jah blow breeze, the devil cannot 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

I say, rock stone was my pillow 

Rock stone was my pillow 

...End.
