Mike Love - Humble (Lyrics)
Humble, humble, humble
Go check your ego man before you stumble
There is no need to grumble
For Jah is guiding your way
Let Jah light shine through you
Be an example in everything you do
And goodness will follow you
All the days of your life
Fire, let it burn away your greed, devour your desire
Bow down low before the Father and He will lift you higher
For the man who praises himself will live a life of despair
To take credit for Jah gifts is to be a mess
See every man and woman got this opportunity
To take this life and do Jah right and live it up fully
Listen brothers and sisters cause it's so easy
Just Love everybody
And free from pride and jealousy, your heart and soul shall be
No more negativity, only Jah livity
And let your body become part of the river flow
Realize within your heart is all you will ever need to know
And if ever you are afraid to face the day
Oh let Jah be your shepherd, He will never lead you astray, no way
Humble, humble, humble
Go check your ego man before you stumble
There is no need to grumble
For Jah is guiding your way
Let Jah light shine through you
Be an example in everything you do
And goodness will follow you
All the days of your life
'Cause faultless never gonna manifest unless you realize your faults
And for goodness' sake never make your head so big you topple and fall
'Cause useless are your loose lips against the word of the almighty Jah
You're never gonna break the spirit of Rasta
'Cause they may never know, they may never see, Mount Zion they may never never reach
But the chosen never choose when Jah Jah uses them to teach
Oh it could be you, it could be me, it could be anyone at all
But you better be ready to answer when Jah Jah call
And don't take it personal if your brother man judges you
'Cause only you and Jah know the reasons why you do what you do
And he is probably acting out of some insecurity
So just give him all your Love and reflections of purity and surety
Humble, humble, humble
Go check your ego man before you stumble
There is no need to grumble
For Jah is guiding your way
Let Jah light shine through you
Be an example in everything you do
And goodness will follow you
Oh well all the rest of your days go by and you're still living in fear
The hours turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into years
How much longer will it be before the truth is crystal clear?
How many more oceans will we fill with tears?
We are children born out of an infinite trinity
With Mother Earth and Daddy Sun and child humanity
So how can we go on living so disrespectfully
We got to protect our precious family
So please be careful what you choose
We've got everything to lose
Before you judge, walk in someone else's shoes
You just might change your views
Cause only through poverty can you know true wealth
And only through the eyes of others can you see your true self
So look in the reflection do you like what you see?
This life is such a blessing, give Love and be happy, be happy and
Humble, humble, humble
Go check your ego man before you stumble
There is no need to grumble
For Jah is guiding your way
Let Jah light shine through you
Be an example in everything you do
And goodness will follow you
All the days of your life
Live it up
For Jah is guiding, yes Jah Jah is guiding
For Jah is guiding, yes Jah Jah is guiding
For Jah is guiding, yes Jah Jah is guiding
For Jah is guiding your way
