Can anyone contribute lyrics for this song? Very difficult for me to translate. It would be a great help if someone actually knows these. Thanks!

Just put on paper the lyrics of course there will be minor errors

Soon Come

Dem the bad leaders of the world vex
No one say Rasta we have so much justice
Just imagine I'n'I was brought from Africa
and then them aside of the work i hear tings to take peace to South Africa
I tell in the name of God dat no man no vex and when i vex Rasta
and the the man vex have too ambition
sho!!!
Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come
Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come

We have heard... about your troubles
We have heard... about your sorrows
Let me tell you
I know we are in the same dirty position too
hungry and naked and tear is taken don't know what to doo
we are still in sympathy

Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come
Please....
Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come
what a fear now boy

them a be pretend now
they cheer up dead mon oh God
dat God as been produce oh God
Don't you do dat to them
I believe the gideon

We have heard... about your troubles
We have heard... about your sorrows

Right now our heart is willing but our little flesh is weak
A partial reduction is still pon us can't get something to eat
but please

Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come
Coming to free them now
Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come
now we realy go now
Coming to reggae music to free our minds
Dat you can listen the war leaders and see the sin of the tide
Go and tell my brothers down in South Africa Lord
dat we Soon come
oh oh
Soon come
Soon come

Good work figuring out those spoken vocals at the start.

I had a listen to this the other day when I saw this thread and thought parts of them were quite difficult to hear

I was going to have a go at the lyrics myself but time has not allowed

Great song, I love the chorus

ites

Congo Bunny yes i play the original Culture in Culture vinyl wich is better to get the lyrics and the cleanest version

Culture is my reggae group election just love the way Joseph sings

R.I.P JOSEPH

Yea it's a good album, I love all there work
They were easily one of the most consistent reggae acts in terms of quality

Wow, thank you so much! I have had that song for so long but couldn't figure out like anything.
