Capleton – No Competition Lyrics

Reggae

Oh oh!
I know!
The goodness of the Lord will never endo
Selassie I will tell it time
Fires and flames, people can't stand time
Well mi say
Oh let the words of thy mouth
And the meditation of thy heart
Be acceptable in Jah sight
Everyone

Well mi sing

But I say music is a mission, not a competition
Nuff man a use the music cause confusion
Stray all the woman dem, likewise the man
It's like dem no respect the Almighty One

A Bunty Killer mussi Bush and Beenie mussi Saddam
But mi no see no Gulf and mi no see no Vietnam
Mi never work Spring but mi mash up Ram Jam
Prophet no mix up inna no bangarang
Mi tell dem arms house and dem still a prolong
A gwan like dem waan fi deceive the nation

Music is a mission, not a competition
Nuff man a use the music cause confusion
Stray all the woman dem, likewise the man
It's like dem no respect the Almighty One

Dem better go read from Genesis, go back to Revelation

And listen to the words of the Almighty One
He say all my springs are original musicians
Whether you deejay or sing, play a sound or band
Could a be the jockey pon radio station

Be some promoter weh promote him session
Be some producer weh produce him song
Or be some reporter pon the television
Just give thanks and praise unto the Almighty One
Woe be unto all the shepherds who stray the nation
Abominable things goin' take dem pon the land

Music is a mission, not a competition
Nuff man a use the music cause confusion
Stray all the woman dem, likewise the man
It's like dem no respect the Almighty One

Oh let the words of thy mouth
And the meditation of thy heart
Be acceptable in Jah sight
Everyone
Well mi sing

But I say music is a mission, not a competition
Nuff man a use the music cause confusion
Stray all the woman dem, likewise the man
It's like dem no respect the Almighty One

Now I say music is the life and it's also the life
So be careful weh you tell the people dem pon the mic
Tell dem say no fuss, tell dem say no fight
Tell dem say put down the icepick and the gun and the knife
No 'bout dem pay the wrong and dem labor right
Now if unuh come inna the dance everybody feel nice
Whether you a drink 7up or a drink up your Sprite
Drink Heineken or you a drink Red Stripe
Drink a cup of Suntory, goat and rice

The arms house business nah go work yah tonight
Be careful weh you tell the people dem pon the mic

Music is a mission, not a competition
Nuff man a use the music cause confusion
Stray all the woman dem, likewise the man
It's like dem no respect the Almighty One

Well a full time now we start educate the youngster
Tell dem fi love all dem a don dem father
Tell all fi love all dem sister and dem brother
Tell dem 'bout the motherland which is Ethiopia
Tell dem 'bout Selassie who is the emperor
Mi say conquering lion through the tribe of Judah
And a King Solomon and Queen of Sheba
Through the roots of David sit pon the throne of fire
Mi say full time now we educate the youngster

Music is a mission, not a competition
Nuff man a use the music cause confusion
Stray all the woman dem, likewise the man
It's like dem no respect the Almighty One

A Bunty Killer mussi Bush, Beenie mussi Saddam
But mi no see no Gulf and mi no see no Vietnam
Mi never work Spring but mi mash up Ram Jam
Prophet no mix up inna no bangarang
