[Verse 1]
[G]Well eac[D]h and every day,
I gotta keep [G]on moving
[D]So [G]Jah, give me oil [D]inna my lamp,
keep it [G]burning
Jah give me little oil inna my lamp,
[D]keep it burning
Jah give me, look [G]how I lam a lamp,
[D]keep it burnin'
Jah give [G]me, look how I lam a lamp,
[D]keep it burnin'
Jah give [G]me, look how I lam a lamp,
keep it [D]burnin'
It's to Jah and only [G]Jah
who I man is [D]prayin'
So all conscious [G]people,
I hope [D]you are listenin'
Not just listenin' with your [G]ears
but with your mind meditatin'
[D]And a vibin' to the wor[G]ds
that Fatou Bantan is [D]preachin'
A foolish man will [G]tell you
cultural lyrics is [D]boring
I [G]will leave the punk who's speechless
when I ask him [D]who he a dealin'
Like salt in a [G]water,
his brain will [D]be dissolving
Smoke will come out [G]of him ears
like an old run[D]down engine
Like a man struck by [G]lightning,
he'll wonder [D]what hit him
I'll cramp and para[G]lyze him
and then I [D]will leave him
It don't matter if he's [G]yellow,
black, white,
brown, [D]pink or green skin
Whoever fight against [G]Jah
surely [D]deserves a beating
So give me a little [G]oil in my lamp,
keep it [D]burning
Jah give me a little [G]oil in my lamp,
keep it [D]burning
Just give me a little [G]oil in my lamp,
keep it [D]burning
Just give me liquor [G]and I'm a lamp,
keep it [D]burning
Well the devil is a crook,
[G]don't be [D]his next victim
He'll break into your [G]brain
and check [D]what you're thinking
If you're dreaming [G]of gold,
then [D]gold you'll be wearing
If you're wishing for [G]money,
then money [D]you'll be spending
If you're hoping for [G]fun,
then fun you'll be [D]having
But remember,
all [G]good things must come [D]to an ending
Adam and Eve inna di [G]garden,
it [D]came to a sinning
Love between [G]Cain and Abel,
it came [D]to a killing
Many good times I've [G]had,
had to come to an [D]ending
But let me carry [G]on,
with what I was [D]saying
Every time that you [G]sin,
the devil [D]is laughing
Every wrong move you [G]make,
brings you nearer to[D]wards him
You've got your [G]chance,
while you are [D]still living
To choose a life of [G]goodness,
or a life [D]full of sinning
So when [G]Satan says,
come to the fiery dungeon
[D]He's onl[G]y a wicked man's soul,
that boy [D]will be taken
Just give me liquor [G]and I'm a lamp,
[D]keep it burnin'
Jah give me liquor and I'm [G]a lamp,
keep it [D]burnin'
Just give me liquor and I'm [G]a lamp,
keep it [D]burnin'
Just give me liquor and I'm [G]a lamp,
keep it burnin'
Now all careless children,
I hope you are listenin'
Not just listenin' with your ears
but with your mind concentratin'
[D]Me well seriou[G]s,
I hope you don't [D]think I'm jokin'
If you listen [G]truth and right
and a study [D]diverse touchin'
Give thanks and praise in [G]the night,
also first [D]thing a mornin'
Try fi squeeze in couple [G]chapter fi
Bible every [D]evening
Watch [G]what you do,
also mind [D]what you sayin'
Every day, every hour, every [G]minute,
every second Jah [D]is watchin'
That's why me say, [G]do good,
an[D]d good will foll[G]ow you, yeah
Just [D]give me [G]look up and I'm a lamp,
[D]keep it burnin'
Jah give me [G]look up and I'm a lamp,
huh, [D]keep it burnin'
Just give me look [G]up and I'm a lamp,
huh, [D]keep it burnin'
Just give me look [G]up and I'm a lamp,
keep it burnin'
[D]I'm burnin', I'm [G]burnin', I'm [Am]burnin'[G]
