Don't Worry Songtext
von Pato Banton

Yeah!
Don′t worry!
Don't worry!
Don′t worry!
Don't worry!

Me say, don't worry your mind, me nation (Don′t worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, me people (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me nation (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me people, because (Don't worry!)


During the year 1985, it′s, uh
Whole heap of things Pato Banton realized
Like when your pocket dry, people pass you by
But as your pocket full, you have friends like flies
Getting too far, that's when dem start to criticize
And spread a lot of rumors diluted with lies
But, girls will be girls, uh, boys will be boys, uh
Me no mix with dem 'cause me and dem are no size
Sometime me play fool, me just a catch wise
′Cause me know say the fittest of the fit will survive
Physically fit so you can socialize
Mentally fit so you can realize
And know what is wrong from what is right
And from the spiritually fit you get eternal life

So, don′t worry your mind, hey, me nation (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me people (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, hey (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind (Don't worry!)


No, me nah go tell a man 'bout him past history
You should′ve learned that when you was a pickney
You fi learn up your roots if you don′t know already
'Cause me nah go give a man a little ease, hey
I wouldn′t tell you follow Muslim or Christianity
Wouldn't tell you to nat up and praise Selassie
All me would a tell a man is fi think wisely
And to read him Holy Bible frequently
With a open heart you will see clearly
How our day-to-day life is just prophesy
Chariots without horse, Zion bird inna the sky
Famine in Africa was long time prophesied
Children having children, that a happen daily
Take a look in your good book and you will see
Well, nuff man know the truth, but prefer fantasy
Dem stop praise Jah, and turn freaky-deaky
Start spending all dem money pon LSD
Cocaine, heroin, opium, or speed
Some of dem realize before it get too deep
While some gone a graveyard fi get some sleep
Sometime if you to laugh, it just don′t funny
'Cause inna Babylon everything is money
Everyday a man a kill a man fi couple penny
When dem see a wha′ dem do, dem bawl fi dem mommy
You coulda bawl if you mother done it done already
When it come to murder the judge no have no mercy
And it make it even worse if you is a darky
Ten times worse if you have a natty
Justice is a joke in this country
So, the best thing to do is behave properly

And don't worry your mind, me nation (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me people (Don′t worry!)
Don't worry your mind, hey, hey, hey (Don′t worry!)
Don't worry your mind (Don′t worry!)

Don't worry!
Don′t worry!
Don't worry!
Don't worry!
Don′t worry!

Well, if life was a tape recorder I would press rewind
And replace my crooked days with a righteous line
To all the youths in the ghetto, I leave this sign
If you can′t do the time, then don't do the crime

And don′t worry your mind, me nation (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me people (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, hey, hey (Don't worry!)
Don't worry your mind, me nation (Don′t worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, me nation (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me people (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind, hey, me nation (Don't worry!)
Don′t worry your mind (Don't worry!)

Don't worry!
Don′t worry!
Don′t worry!
Don't worry!
