Tell Them Be Good
Large up each and every nation in creation…His Majesty
CHORUS:
Tell them be good and I beg them do right
Love righteousness and live up in Jah side
Trueman a Ras why them no dead already
Naw spill no blood if it don’t necessary
Born from the hills & the mountain of St. Mary
Billions of pounds of burdens what me carry
Them fight me mother & them fight against me daddy
Down in a Babylon you know me naw tarry
The words of righteousness is what me carry
Me love his Majesty and me naw say me sorry
CHORUS
This is the time when we have to rock steady
So just be calm and try to hold a medi
Go tell the youth dem them to get ready
And do them best to prepare for tomorrow
Because of the roads of right lead to blessings
And the roads of corruption lead to sorrow
As far as I have been young & as long as I have been old
I’ve never seen the righteous them forsaken or out in the cold
No no no
CHORUS
Trad from the East and go to the North Pole
Stand up in the desert & me stand up in the cold
Reason with the young & me reason with the old
Oh what a beautiful site to behold
And to know that Jah is in control
And a him a make the good times roll
Half of the history has never been told
And that’s why so many things a unfold
CHORUS
