Don't Trouble Trouble

Hail, Johnny Clarke

Dread up, the ninja

You want see I man hear the one Jacob Miller

A talk 'bout I and I a follow him, you know, Rasta

Him face, him are pillar

Dem bredda deh are some little imitation, Rasta, dread

You no see, him well soft, soft, soft

So when the lion is sleeping

Never you try to wake him

Why did you look for trouble?

Why did you trouble trouble?

Why did you trouble the lion?

Say, why did you trouble the gorgon?

You can't escape this judgement

If you even move out of Babylon

Say, you can't escape this judgement

If you even move out of Babylon

Say, you are follower, but I am natty dread

You are follower, but I are originator

Go 'way, you are ballhead

Be still, I'm your superior

Be still, I am the rightful ruler

Go 'way, you are ballhead

Go 'way, you are follower

Go 'way, you are follower

Go 'way, you are ballhead

And if you never trouble trouble, trouble wouldn't trouble you

Could deh one some little soulhead boy, or some little Syrian boy

In a some little fashion, dread, you no know

Just a wear di locks fi business

So don't you trouble trouble

For it is dangerous

Say, I will make you run up and down

So don't you trouble trouble
