Lamb’s Bread Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We want, yeah, the brain's food
We want the lamb's bread

[Refrain]
It's been a long, long time
It's been a long, long time
Since I man a burn up my lamb's bread
And from I man a burn up my lamb's bread
I never check to do no one no wrong

[Verse 2]
But, everywhere I go I man hear dem say
It make you do dis, an' it make you do dat
But I man a tell dem

[Chorus]
A dis yah one ya, a make you do no one no wrong (No)
Dis yah one ya, make you do no one no wrong (Tell you, oh, no)

[Verse 3]
I am tellin' you, eEach and everyone (Dis ya one ya)
When I man a burn up I lamb's bread
I man feelin' irie, I man feelin' nice, I man feel alright

[Chorus]
An' I no do no onе no wrong (No)
An' I no do no one no wrong (Tell you, oh, no)
Brothers and sistеrs listen to me
I will never stop from burning up my lamb's bread (Oh, no)
[Verse 3]
I love up my lamb's bread, I burn up my lamb's bread
I man meditate day and night, so strong
Hoping, Jah Jah, hoping an' praying
He will help I one day

[Chorus]
Is I man lamb's bread make I do no one no wrong
I man lamb's bread make I do no one no wrong (Tell you, oh, no)

[Refrain]
It's been a long, long time

Since I man a burn up my lamb's bread
And from I man a burn up I lamb's bread
I never check to do no one no wrong

[Outro]
I man burn up I brain's food
I man meditate day an' night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
