Tight Ship

Tight Ship lyrics with English Translations





Though the wicked persecute I, still my heart has love Oh, my head's anointed, with the powers of love Though the wicked persecute I, with envy and grudge Oh, my head's anointed, hey
There is no room for mistakes We're sailing a tight ship ashore Get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space There is no room for mistakes, mama say Sailing a tight ship ashore Get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space, yeah
Though the wicked persecute I, still my heart has love Oh, my head's anointed, with the powers of love Though them wicked persecute I, with envy and grudge But my head's anointed, hey
There is no room for mistakes We're sailing a tight ship ashore Get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space There is no room for mistakes, papa say Sailing a tight ship ashore Get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space, hey
Let's get this ship up and quick, in spick and spanking, yes All hands on deck I say, don't let me sail again Let's get this ship up and quick, in spick and spanking, yeah All hands on deck I say, don't let I sail again
From we a likkle bwoy dem used to grudge we fi we horlicks Nuff a dem no hold no joy dem full of fear envy and malice Nuff a dem a get bad mind and saying those arrogant Marley's Them say who Jah bless, no man curse, Babylon is harlots Alright now nuff a dem hard at work Them watching who's working the hardest Grass hopper jump at anything that scruffle in the grasses Lion dem never yet grudge the other creatures of the forest What you reap is what you sow, don't be surprised when we a harvest My pocket so fat is it a walrus in my wallet? True say no man perfect but our flows are always flawless One room at a time is whether shack, or whether palace Cleanliness is godliness, so keep it clean regardless We're from sweeping 'affi start, get rid of filthiness and garbage Swashbuckler a walk da plank if him no up full likewise honest Officers aboard this ship is heading to the land of promise
Let's clear a space There ain't no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey Sailing Oh, get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space There ain't no, no, no, no, no, no, no Sailing Get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space There ain't no, hey, yeah Sailing a tight ship ashore Get the broom, sweep the place..
