Verse 1:
Why boasteth thy-self, o heathen men?
Playing smart and not being clever.
I say you're working iniqui-ty,
To A-chieve vanity, if A-so A-so,
But the goodness of Jah-Jah, en-dureth for-ever.
Chorus 1:
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe.
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
Verse 2:
These are the words, of my Master;
No weak heart shall prosper.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall fall in it, fall in it.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall fall in it, (fall in it).
Chorus 2:
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe, (sharp and ready),
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
Bridge 1:
Oooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, to cut you down.
Oooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, to cut you down.
Verse 3:
These are the words, of my Master;
Telling me that, no weak heart shall prosper.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall fall in it, bury in it.
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
Shall bury in it, (bury in it).
Chorus 3:
If you are the big, big tree,
We are the small axe.
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
Chorus 4:
If you are the big, big tree,
We are the small axe.
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
To cut you down.
(Fade)
