Why boasteth thyself, oh evil men
Playing smart and not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah,
Jah I-dureth for-I-ver

So, if you are the big tree,
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

These are the words of my master,
keep on tellin' me
No weak heart shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)

If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down (To cut you down, x2)

These are the words of my master,
Tellin' me that
No weak heart Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)

If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened ...
