Nail Pon Cross lyrics with English Translations
[Verse 1]
World must understand
Yo a man is just a man
Don't you judge him for his ways and flaws
No
Speak of love tomorrow
You'll be doing good my brother
You're working for the greatest cause
He without sin
May he throw the first stone
And not even a pebble can cast
No
Pharisees and scribes crucified the son of God
Be careful who you nail pon cross
(Be careful who you nail on cross)
[Chorus] Be careful who you nail pon (Be careful who you nail on) Cra wa wa woss (Cross) Be careful who unuh nail pon cross (Be careful who you nail on cross) (Repeat)
[Verse 2] Things is getting rougher And some cyaah find nuh supper (And some can't find any supper) Much less a good breakfast No What a lucky thing Seh Rasta yute nuh wanga gut (That Rasta youth isn't greedy) Say Natty dreadlocks gotta hold steadfast Grudges are forbidden Forgive to be forgiven When another man trespass Woi Heckle vex with Jeckle And the pot a cuss the kettle (And the pot is cussing the kettle) Yow be careful who you nail pon cross (Yow be careful who you nail on cross)
(Repeat Chorus)
[Verse 3] Today might be for you But Jah might give me tomorrow So don't count you're eggs too fast You might talk too soon Then yuh pride haffi swollow (Then your pride has to be swollowed) Come down off your big high horse Some preaching religion When inside dem hollow (When inside they're hollow) When inside dem hollow (When inside they're hollow) And a bai judgment them pass (And a lot of judgment they pass) Woi And a gwaan like dem a God (And acting like they're God) When that's a hard act to follow Be careful who you nail pon cross (Be careful who you nail on cross)
(Repeat Chorus)
[Verse 4] Don't throw nuh word (Don't throw any words) A beg yuh don't throw nuh stone (I beg you don't throw any stones) If yuh living in a house of glass (If you're living in a house of glass) Do onto others As you do to your own You never know when you might cross path Have a look within Cause another ones win That should not be your loss If the tables spin Yuh a laugh up an' a grin (You're laughing and grinning) Be careful who you nail pon cross (Be careful who you nail on cross)
(Repeat Chorus)
