[A]
[G]
Oh,
[D] just be good.
Jive not satisfied with what is going on.
He need to see some more equal rights and justice turn up.
Oh,
[A] just be good.
[G] We have never been given a chance, even one time, to try and control our whole little lives.
[D]
Oh, just be good.
Oh, just be good.
Oh, just be good.
Just seal it and hold and control it.
Oh,
[A] just be good.
[G] Equal rights and justice and morale.
Put some territory aside and slowly crawl.
Oh,
[D] just be good.
[A]
[G] Mamlaa, Rastafari, kids of all gods,
Oh, [D] just be good.
Jive not satisfied with what is going on.
He need to see some more equal rights and justice turn up.
Oh, [A] just be good.
We
[G] have been used, stoned and refused, kicked out on the street so many, many times.
Oh,
[D] just be good.
Some have got a mouthful in their hands and while they suck their mouth wide for hungry.
Oh,
[A] just be good.
But
[G] if it be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth,
Who none of these things gonna go feeling?
Oh,
[D] just be good.
Who knows they are doing wrong?
Just translate it and put it right.
Oh,
[A] just be good.
[G] I have not heard these words I say.
Far before one of these words passed, I wish I had heard it pass.
Oh,
[D] just be good.
For a long time ago we have been working on the plantation.
With nothing at all to give, remember?
Oh,
[A] just be good.
It
[D] is full time now for us to have.
They should be there no more.
Have not I [G] say?
Oh, just be good.
[D] Oh, just be good.
[A]
I [D] just can't express in [A] words I say.
[D] Oh, [A] just be good.
But
[G] all I know, whatever you are doing for poor Jah people,
Do it good and positively I say.
[D] Oh, just be good.
[A] Oh, Jah.
[D] Jah never yet seen a sleeper slumber.
Jah counting all [A] your deep tendries by [D] number.
Oh, [A] just be good.
[G] Be careful what you do I say.
The cry and laugh of the poor weak to the ears of Jah is inferior majesty I.
[D]
Rastafari.
I'm fatigued deep [A] within my mind.
[D] Living like this can't be good at all.
Oh, [A] Jah people.
[G] Some on the street drinking dirty water.
Some eating out of garbage pan I say.
Oh, Jah, Rastafari.
[D]
Only Jah can [A] tell all my troubles.
[D] Because I'm really my brother's keeper.
[A] [N]
