Burning Spear As It Is
[Intro:]
Stop singing in the late 60's
Heard about studio one by bob marley
Music went up
Down and around
[Chorus:]
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember me
[Verse 1:]
The music attention
Was in a different direction
Not a burning direction
Spear been through his struggle
With a lot of patience and discipline
Never bow down
[Chorus:]
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember me
[Verse 2:]
I've been through the struggle like everyone
Like the earlier musicians
Blues musicicans, jazz musicians, reggae musicians
I was going back and forth
From St Anns to Kingston
13 branford road
[Chorus:]
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember me
[Verse 3:]
Many times I ain't got no brown skin
Therefore gotta hitch hike a truck back
I am the stone that the builders refused
I am the stone that the builders refused
They put me aside
They pass me by
Thinking I would cry
Stone don't cry, stone don't cry
Usually sit at keylargo bay
Playing my congas and hitting height on string
[Chorus:]
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember me
[Verse 4:]
The few soldiers that know me
They either from rough house ensembles
Start about keylargo beach
[Outro:]
Did someone remember burning spear
Would someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember me
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember me
Did someone remember burning spear
Did someone remember
Did someone remember burning spear...
