I always get the chills listening to his albums. So very prophetic, the holy spirit worked through this man to reveal injustice. Forever on Bush Doctah!

What a big disgrace
The way you rob up the place
Rob everything you can find
Yes you did
and you'll even rob from the blind
You must see want I fe

Now we know the truth

of taking people's business on your head,yeah
so might as well you be dead
[Chorus]
Let the dead bury the dead now
and who is to be fed, be fed
I ain't got no time to waste on you, no,no

yet you want I

"There are many beautiful flowers in the kingdom of heaven . . . but they do not compete." Righteousness begins within and extends outward-in all endeavors. I don't care what kind of flower you may be, just be righteous.
breaking it down for you... this is not about a military funeral...
"general" as in "case for everyone" .... "they want me to go to their
funeral" means like "they want me to live their life/do as they say" .............
abstraction, see..... "let the dead bury the dead/those who will be fed
be fed" is about understanding/comprehension... those who don't
do their own thinking cannot be helped... those who will analyse, think independently, can receive the meaning of these words.. this song is awesome...
Peter Tosh was a very controversial man.... he always stand up for what he believed in...a testament in his songs and debates..... always for the poor R.I.P. Legend..
