Educated Fools Lyrics - Halfway Tree - Damian "junior Gong" Marley

Intro 

(Bunny Wailer) 

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 

Theres a strange rumor that cant 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 (thats right) 

Chorus 

(Damian Marley) 

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 fuck 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 

Verse 

(Damian Marley) 

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 cocaine 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 fuck 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 

Didnt 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 

Chorus 

(Damian Marley) 

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 fuck 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 

Verse 

(Bounty Killer) 

Junior Gong a junior bong 

??? 

Poor people across the world this is a special dedication 

??? 

Check di starifacation, Yo 

(Damian Marley) 

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 

Verse 

(Bounty Killer) 

??? 

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 

??? power and show a 

A trick dem with dem rice and flour, ya know 

Me respect Rasta-Fearians 

Me respect church goer 

Dem fi no say poor people 

On a boat cant no row a 

Fire a flame me bring fi ya ya drug for ya 

And anyone a go a dem fi know ya 

Verse 

(Treach) 

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 shit 

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 pilgrims taught the black man how to kill men 

Lets keep it real then 

You cant harm me or scar me 

Respect for me
