Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
Ooh yeah, yeah
They got so much things to say right now
They got so much things to say
They got so much things to say right now
They got so much things to say

Eh! But I'll never forget no way
They crucified Jesus Christ
I'll never forget no way
They stole Marcus Garvey for rights ho-ooh!
I'll never forget no way
They turned their back on Paul Bogle
Hey! So don't you forget (no way) your youth
Who you are and where you stand in the struggle

They go so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very
So very, so very, so very
Everything they say so much to say
They got so much things to say, so much things to say
I and I nah come to fight flesh and blood

But spiritual wickedness in high and low places
So while they fight you down
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises
'Cause I and I no expect to be justified
By the laws of men, by the laws of men
Oh, true they have found me guilty
But brooh, through Jah proved my innocency

Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now
It don't fall on one man's housetop
Remember that, when the rain fall
It don't fall on one man's housetop

They singin' so very much, so very much, oh so very much
So so very
They got so much things to say right now
Yeah, they got so much things to say

Hey, but I and I, I and I nah come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places
So while, so while, so while they fight you down
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises
I and I no expect to be justified
By the laws of men, by the laws of men
Hey through God to prove my innocence
I told you wicked think they found me guilty

They got la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
They la very much all the time

So much things to say, rumor about
They got the rumor without humor
They don't know what they're doin', yeah

Here is why I can say the lyrics are “Sold Marcus Garvey for rice” 1) I listened to the song! Bob speaks very clearly in all versions I could find, especially on the Exodus album. He says “Sold Marcus Garvey for rice”
2) I listened to the song! Rita and the I-Threes clearly repeat Bobs lyrics and also say “Sold Marcus Garvey for rice” 3) If you look inside the album cover the lyrics are printed very clearly, “Sold Marcus Garvey for rice” 4) Marley refers to Marcus Garvey in his song "So much things to say", saying, "I'll never forget no way: they sold Marcus Garvey for rice". The song criticizes anyone willing to betray independent African leadership and the pittance the traitors receive (hence the phrase "for rice"). ;User:Da Stressor/Pop Culture References to Marcus Garvey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 5)This quote from Bob Marley is a continuation of the idea that the black man belongs in Africa and there is a continuos struggle to get back to the motherland. This was another idea that Garvey preached. He felt that Africa was the land for the black people just as Europe was the land for the white people, Asia the land for Asians, and Middle East the land for Indians and so on. ;THE DREAD LIBRARY Marcus Mosiah Garvey: The Man, his Movement and his Poetry by C.
