As It Is

start singing in the late sixtees

Told about Studio One by Bob Marley

Music went up down and around

Chorus:

Did someone remember Burning Spear

Did someone remember

Did someone remember Burning Spear

Did someone remember him

The music attention

Was in a different direction

Not a burning direction

Spear been through his struggle

With a lot of patience and discipine

never bow down

Chorus

I've been through the struggle

like everyone

Like the earlier musicians

Blues musicians

Jazz musicians

Reggae musicians

I was going back and forth

From St. Anns to Kingston

Thirteen Brentford Road

Chorus

Many times I ain't got no bus fair

Therefore got to hitch-ike on truck back

I am the stone that builders refused

I am the stone that builders refused

They put me aside

They passed me by

Thinking I would cry

Stone don't cry

Stone don't cry

Usually sit on Key Largo beach

Playing my bongos and eating ital stew

Chorus

The few soldiers that know me

They're either from Rough House

or Soft House

Talk about Key Largo beach

Chorus
