*from 'Handsworth Revolution' (1978)*
Intro:
Gm,
(x8)
Verse 1:
Prediction, prediction foretold.
Prediction, yeh, from the days of old.
Prediction, yeh, from way back when,
The years Jah send, years Jah send.
Prediction, a long, long time ago.
Verse 2:
Se-lassie was neglected; tell me when?
Like the tales of The Messiah, yah, all over again.
Garvey was rejected; tell me when?
Unlike the Baptist he has kept his head, I said vank!
William Gordon and Paul Bogle led a rebellion,
'Cos they used their heads, but had their necks in a noose.
Martyrs of freedom, freedom condemned,
But Jah Jah cut them loose, heh heh.
Verse 3:
Prophesised that, we would suffer by,
Those who think themselves su-perior to our colour, yes sah;
Descendants of, Naiman the Leper.
Ask Elisha, offspring's of, Naiman the Leper.
Chorus 1:
If a lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
If a lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha.
If a lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
If a lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha.
If a lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
If a lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha.
Chorus 2:
To-morrow's what we're on about,
To-morrow's what we're on about; not yesterday.
To-morrow's what we're on about,
To-morrow's what we're on about; not yesterday.
It's up to man to understand, to have success upon this land;
He better have some faith.
Break:
Have some faith, have some faith.
Have some faith, have some faith.
Have... some.
Have, some... faith.
Have... some.
Have, some... faith.
Interlude:
(x8)
Coda:
(Spoken):
The impossible, have a habit of happening.
If you think a lie, I a-tell;
(Sung):
Ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
Ask Elisha, ask Elisha.
(Repeat to Fade)
