Judge not, before you judge yourself. Judge not, if you're not ready for judgement, whoa oh oh
One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright.
Every day the bucket a-go a well, one day the bottom a-go drop out.
A hungry mob is an angry mob.
Truth is the lightSo you never give up the fight.
Don't worry about a thing, 'cos every little thing is gonna be alright.
Your life is worth much more than gold.
Excuse me while I light my spliff, good God i gotta get a lift
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.Have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time.
Don't gain the world and lose your soulWisdom is better than silver and gold
