Follow Fashion Monkey - Bunny Wailer

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey

Follow follow follow fashion monkeys

Never drink good soup

So drink the water from your own stream

Before you loose your roots your roots your roots

Shalawala walabshahshab

Say that

Don't like the way you hold back from me

Give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready

Don't like the way you hold back from me

Give me the vibes cause I'm ready

Be your self and no one else

It's time you stop your adaptions

Then you'll know the truth is in

You and learn to make your own decision

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkeys

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey

I've seen you play the games of

Lead and i'll follow so many times before

Now I'd just like your attention

To borrow to get my message

Through your doors your doors your doors

Shala wala wa shab shab

There's too much barriers

Between you and I

Tho' we're both of the same kind

It's the same current that runs through our minds

So trap your egos' to mine

Stop a while and keep your cool and

Listen to what I'm saying saying

Tho' I know temptation strong

You'll reap the treasure of knowing

Then you'll start growing growing growing growing

Dread up that's your culture

Live up that's life don't let devil use you

For all them shining precious stones

They're gonna rub right off

So don't let them fool you

Please don't let them fool you fool you fool you

So git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkeys

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey

Git up you black yankies

Don't be no follow fashion monkey
