Easy skanking, skanking it easy
Easy skanking, skanking it slow (repeat)

Excuse me while I light my spliff
Oh GOD I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff

Take it easy, easy skanking (repeat)
Got to take it easy, easy skanking
You see we're taking it easy
We're taking it slow, taking it easy
Got to take it slow, so take it easy
Easy skanking, easy skanking
Oh take it easy, easy skanking

Excuse me while I light my spliff
Oh GOD I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff

Take it easy, taking it easy
Got to take it easy, taking it slow
Take it easy, taking it easy
Skanky taie it easy, taking it slow

Tell you what herb for my wine
Honey for my strong drink
Herb for my wine, honey for my strong drink

I'll take it easy, taking it easy
Take it easy, skanking it slow
Take it easy, taking it easy
Take it easy, skanking it slow

Wake up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose
For the rain is falling

Got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
Got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighborhood
So here I come again

I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighborhood
So here I come again

I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

Get up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose for the rain is falling
Well kayaman, kaya, kaya

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah!
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here I am!
Want you to know, y'all
Can you understand?

When the morning gather the rainbow, yeah, yeah
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too now
To the rescue, here I am!
Want you to know, y'all, can ya - can ya
Can ya understand?

Sun is shining, weather is sweet now
Make you wanna move your dancing feet, yeah
But to the rescue, here I am!
Want you to know just if you can
Here I stand!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Can you understand me now, baby?
Do you believe me?

They say the sun an-a shines for all,
But-a yin some people world, it never shine at all.
Mm-mm-mm.
They say love is a stream that will find its course;
I mean - some-a people think life is a dream
So they making matters worse.

But no matter what the crisis is;
No matter what the crisis is:
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' your thing!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
Givin' it, givin' it, givin' it, givin' it!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)

So - so - so much have been said, so little (been done) been
done
They still killin' - killin' the people
And they - and they havin' (havin' their fun) - havin'-a -
havin'-a lots of fun -
Killin' the people, oo-yoo! - (havin' fun) havin' their
fun!
They just want to be the leader
In the 'ouse of the risin' sun.

But no matter what the crisis is;
Oh, no, oh, no no - no what the crisis is:
Do your - live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)

They say the sun-un-un-un shines for all,
But-a yin some people world, it never shine at all!
They say love is a stream,
That will find its course, and every river runs to sea;
Some people still think life is a dream,
So they - so they makin' - makin' it worse.

No matter what the crisis is;
No matter what the crisis is:
Do it: live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
His mercies endureth for ever, yeah!
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
Oh, children, come on, and give Jah -
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
Children, come on, and give Jah -
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)

You running and you running
And you running away (repeat)

You running and you running
But you can't run away from yourself
Can't runaway from yourself,
Can't runaway from yourself,
Can't runaway from yourself (repeat)

You must have done,
Something wrong (repeat)
Why you can't find the
Place where you belong
Running away, running away,
Running away (repeat)

Every man thinketh his
Burden is the heaviest (repeat)
But who feels it knows it Lord
Who feels it knows it Lord,
Who feels it knows it Lord

You running and you running
And you running away (repeat)

You running and you running
But you can't runaway from yourself,
Could you runaway from yourself,
Can you runaway from yourself
Can't runaway from yourself,
Can't runaway from yourself

You must have done, something,
Something, something something,
Something, you don't want nobody to
Know about, you must have ... Lord.
Something wrong you must have done,
You must have done, something wrong
Why you can't find where you belong

Well, well, well, you running away,
Running away, no, no, no,
I'm not running away, don't say that
Don't say that, cause I'm not running away
I've got to protect my life,
And I don't want to live with no strife
It is better to live on the house top
Than to live in a house full of confusion
So, I made my decision and I left you
Now you coming to tell me
That I'm running away
But it's not true,
I am not running away
