Why boasteth thyself, oh evil men?

Playing smart and not being clever, oh no

I say, you′re working iniquity

To achieve vanity, yeah, if I sow I sow

But the goodness of Jah, Jah

Indureth for Iver

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe

Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)

Ready to cut you down, oh yeah

These are the words of my Master

Keep on telling me, oh

No weak heart shall prosper

Oh no, they can't, eh

And whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it, fall in it

Whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall bury in it, bury in it

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe

Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)

Ready to cut you down

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe

Ready to cut you down (well sharp)

To cut you down

(If you are the big tree) oh, if you have a big tree

(We have a small axe) let me tell you this

Ready to cut you down (well sharp)

Sharpened to cut you down

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe
