Catch A Fire - Damian Marley[00:00:00]
Written by:Stephen Marley/Damian Marley[00:00:00]
Every time I 'ear di crack of di whip[00:00:02]
Every time I 'ear di crack of di whip[00:00:28]
My blood runs cold[00:00:31]
I remember on di slave ship[00:00:33]
How dey brutalise your very soul[00:00:36]
Today dey say that we are free[00:00:39]
Only to be jailed in poverty[00:00:41]
Good God I think it's a little are she[00:00:44]
Only a machine then makes[00:00:47]
Slave driver your table has turned[00:00:49]

Catch a fire your gonna get burned[00:00:54]
Slave driver your table has turned oh[00:01:00]
