first heard this and a ton of big reggae tunes at Starbucks. i would always skip the bs we were supposed to play and put on the reggae joints. still do as a matter of fact
@Lebowski69 yea they have different cd's they play and the reggae cd was full of great songs like this one. they even played 400 years by bob marley & the wailers. i don't know about now though this was over 5 years ago.
Killer tune. The best Parable is "Don't watch the tool the work it can do, watch the man that's behind it," Saved my life several times when people tried to stab me...LOL!!!!
Some very wise words - you just don't reggae get this reggae vibe these days, I believe it's bands such as the Gladiators and their era that will go down as the golden age of reggae.
@juninhoquik Yes 5 Stars for THE GLADIATORS ! ;D So , let's SHARE THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK and everywhere we can ! So , many people could watch it ! OK ? GoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
ABsolute CLASSIC..... The Truth IS the TRUTH>>>>Lies and CENSORSHIP will only strengthen this TRUTH.... You Babylonian Bastards should deCIDE whose SIDE youare ON,,,,,,,,,,,,, GET IT !!!!!!! last warning.....
Ah ah ah - it gwine red down here inna Babylon So me give it to ya in a parable:
Old time people them used to say:
When short mouth tell you you can't hear
so when long mouth tell you ya a go feel it, feel it You talk too much , you will pay for what you don't eat Goat never know the use of him tail till the butcher cut it off
Goat never know the use of him tail till the butcher cut it offLooks is deceiving, man - don't underrate no manLooks is deceiving, yeah - don't underrate no man
I remember when I first heard this one. It was about 8 years ago. I was driving home one night and the dj on the radio played it... I was rockin so hard in the car people were lookin at me but I did not care. The following went out and found it on an Lp - I never get enough of this.. SO TRUE what they are sayin.
bad tune man considerin i wasn't even born yet and only heard dis song last week, love that bass line man plus the harmonies and its soooo random chattin bout " Goat never know de use of him tail till de butcher cut it off! " so random but yet so unique also with the tool, "Dont watch the tool the work it can do, watch the man thats behind it, BIG tune!
Why do you say it is so random? The lyrics speak about taking things for granted, not being thoughtful, and being selfish. These themes are presented as parables, hence "goat never know the use of him tail/ til the butcher cut it off." We must be thankful for what we have because it can leave us so quickly. Stay Jah wise, and remember the limitless love of God and your position as a humble servant.
@aspollett That's just common sense, no need to invent gods and stories to explain common sense. The beautiful vibe I feel from music is not from a made-up god, but from the love and beauty of humanity.
man!!! a free 18 year old girls riding down to Key West with her 21 year old boyfirend back in 1990. Listening to Gladiators non stop. Pure and good times!! This is where this song takes me.......... : )
your 100% right i couldent agree with you more and im from amarica but where not all bad people here is just that the government does whatever they wants now adays,amarica was founded on best ideas but the curruption of some people ruind it for all man
