Bunny Wailer - Follow Fashion Monkey Lyrics

Git up you Black yankies
Don't be no Follow Fashion Monkey
(Rep.)

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
Shala-wala walab-shah-shab
Shab-sha-shala-wala-walab-shab sha.
Don't like the way you hold back from me
Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready
Don't like the way you hold back from me,
Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready

Be your self and no one else
Its time you stop your adaptions
Then you'll know the truth is in
You and learn to make your own decision

So git up you Black yankies
Don't be no follow fashion monkeys
(Rep.)

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-wala-wala-shab-shab
Shab-sha shala-wala walab 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
Tho I know temptation strong
You'll reap the treasure of knowing
Then you'll start 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
