Kali Walé - Coward

Does it make you feel better
To turn and judge your brother
Does it make you feel better
To mock and jeer, pointing finger
Does it make you feel better
To objectify your sister
Does it make you feel better
Raising yourself above another

Does it make you feel bigger
When you are louder
Having no patience
To listen to your brother
Do you think that your might
Makes you more right
Slow to overstand
But always quick to fight

Well, that's a cowardly thing to do
Howsoever you judge, you'll be judged too
Remember the number one golden rule
Treat everyone as you'd have them treat you

So before you condescend and pretend you comprehend
Make sure you are without fault
Take some time to reflect, use intellect
And make sure Jah name you exalt
Forgive those who may stumble, remaining humble
Rise above the law of the jungle
Moral, courageous, and fit because if you slip
You might just find yourself a hypocrite

And that's a cowardly role to play
Not speaking the words that you should say
Take heed to what is at stake
You must live with the choices you make

Does it make you feel more alive
To waste someone's time
Bragging 'bout yourself
And spreading all them lies
Are you so insecure
That you must make sure
That you ah wear di crown
And so you putting me down

Well, that's a cowardly thing to do
Howsoever you judge, you'll be judged too
Remember the number one golden rule
Treat everyone as you'd have them treat you

So as you sit in your judgement
A vulgar temperament
You're only feeding in to your own debasement
Allowing lust to rule your mind
Greediness keeping you blind
In a vain illusion you'll stay confined
Always curse when you could bless
So far from humbleness
Don't you know you could be Zion's witness
Instead you decide to undermine and deride
The righteous, but from HIM you cannot hide

And that's a cowardly role to play
Not speaking the words that you should say
Take heed to what is at stake
You must live with the choices you make

Well, that's a cowardly thing to do
Howsoever you judge, you'll be judged too
Remember the number one golden rule
Treat everyone as you'd have them treat you
Treat everyone as you'd have them treat you
Treat everyone as you'd have them treat you
