Freddy McGregor - Wine Of Violence (Lyrics)

Post by rootscu »

Greetings roots lovers,
I have been listening to this tune for a couple of days now, but I can't seem to understand all the lyrics.
Can someone please help me with the lyrics of this vibe.

I think this in Freddy's finest work by far.

Respect and Big up to C.S Dodd and Studio One.

Put your trust in the son of the Most High, children
That he shall be like Mount Zion
Keep away from evil doers
For they only push you in multitude of sinners

So don't (eat the bread of wickedness) Yea-aah
Stay away (Stay away from the wine of violence)
So don't (eat the bread of wickedness)
Stay away (Stay away from the wine of violence)

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee now
Bind them above thy neck
Write them up on the tables of thine heart
(The table of thine heart)
That it may be well with thee
Telling you (On the table of thine heart)
Jah Jah love that

Put your trust in the son of the Most High, children
That he shall be like Mount Zion
Keep away from evil doers (From evil doers)
For they only push you in multitude of sinners

So don't (eat the bread of wickedness)
Stay away (Stay away from the wine of violence)
So don't, so don't (eat the bread of wickedness)
(Stay away from the wine of violence)
(Eat the bread of wickedness)
(Stay away from the wine of violence)
(Eat the bread...)

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee now, saying
Bind them above thy neck
Write them up on the tables of thine heart
(The table of thine heart) Woh-oh (On the table of thine heart)
That it may go well with thee and everyone, yeah
(On the table of thine heart)
Woh-oh, Jah Jah love that
(On the table of thy heart)

So don't (eat the bread of wickedness)
Stay away from the wine of violence
(Eat the bread...) Say don't eat the bread of wickedness
And stay away (Stay away from the wine of violence)

Freddie quoting here from Proverbs 3:3:
"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart"

Mad Lyrics bredren, respect for posting them. This is as heavy as roots lyrics could be written. The riddim is nice and the lyrics are top notch... straight from the book of Proverbs.

Jah Blessings to RasLeroy
