They'll make you promises today
But tomorrow they change thier mind
Make you faithful primises today
But tomorrow they'll change thier mind

But im an upfull man

Im a progressive man
And I love progressive people
Im a truthful man
And I love truthful people
Im an honest man

Ive learned some lessons in my life
Lessons in my life
Always be careful of my friends
Be careful of my friends
Money can make friendship end

Money can make friendship end
It makes friendship end

Im an upfull man
I love upfull people
Im a progressive man
And I love progressive people
Im an honest man
And I love honest people
Im an intelligent man

Im an aggressive man
And I love aggressive people
Im a fire man
And I love the fire people
Im an upfull man
And I love upfull people
Im an intelligent man
And I love intelligent people

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is truly Tosh's "Redemption Song" he knew his time was near and knew how things would go down. "Be careful of my friends" Dennis Leppo a man Peter had befriended and was helping out was the only man that was caught in the Murder of Peter Tosh. I believe that it goes deeper than the "Robbery" Motive, on every gov't document given to Tosh was marked with a RED X . He was a marked man, But Peter never backed down he said "I know the truth cause offence, and Im willing to die for the Truth"

R.I.P. Peter Tosh
