Mighty Diamonds - Them Never Love Poor Marcus
Them never love him, oh no
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Till they betray him
Him own brethren sell him fe rice 'n' peas
They didn't know, there would be days like this
Now the human race, in such a squeeze, yeah
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Them never, love him!
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus, hmm yeah
Men like Bag O' Wire, should burn in fire
The betrayer of Marcus Garvey
(..)
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Them never, them never!
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Till they betray him
Him own brethren sell him fe rice 'n' peas
They didn't know, there would be days like this
Now the human race, in such a squeeze
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Them never, them never!
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus, yeah
Men like Bag O' Wire, should burn in fire, fire, fire
Lord, betrayer
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Black man come together!
Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus..
