This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.

Says I-man don't deal in no kind, of hearsay (hearsay)
Back 'weh wi dat an' come straight, if you a come
(If you a come, you a come)
Say dem a de ginnal, dem a de big chief (de big chief)
But the winning card in dis game, Is I who got it (is I who got it)

Remember dis little sayin' that bush have ears
Pick sense out of nonsense
You'll get the answer (you'll get the answer)
Bush don't have ears, my friend, but someone may be in it

Hearing, what you have said about your brothers (brothers, brothers)
Hearing, what you have said about your sister (sister, sister)
Hearing, how you have made your own confession (confession)
Hearing what you have done in de pas'
Ecclesiastes 10:20

'Cause every secret sin must reveal
Psalm 90:8


So if you nuh know, what a gwan, woo yea!
Keep your mouth shut an' don' say, a word ya
Psalm 4:4

(Don't you say a word ya)

Remember dis little sayin' that bush have ears
Pick sense out of nonsense
You'll get the answer (you'll get the answer)
Bush don't have ears, my friend, but someone may be in it

Hearing, what you have said about your brothers (brothers, brothers)
Hearing, what you have said about your sister (sister, sister)
Hearing, how you have made your own confession (confession)
Hearing what you have done in de pas'
'Cause every secret sin must reveal

So if you nuh know, what a gwan
Keep your mouth shut an' don' say, a word ya
(Don't you say a word ya)
Keep your mouth shut an' don' say, a word ya
(Don't you say a word ya)
Keep your mouth shut an' don' say, a word ya
(Don't you say a word ya)
(Don't you say a word ya)

Note:

A "ginnal" is a con man, a trickster.
"Bush have ears" is the Jamaican equivalent of "walls have ears".
