Looks are deceiving,
you better take care
Things you think you see ain't
necessarily there
Don't judge a book by its cover,
or people by their colour
Thinking like that ain't gonna
get you nowhere
Well, my name is
McAvee, I got some lyrics to share
I don't follow rumours or
the things that I hear
Some people judge people by
the clothes that they wear
If you're thinking like that,
you ain't going nowhere
When I go into a shop,
the shop assistants stare
While I'm in the shop,
they follow me everywhere
While I'm trying on my clothes,
they stay very near
Just because I'm bigger than black
and got my dreadlocks there
And there's a little white girl in
there with ribbons in her hair
She looks so innocent,
holding a teddy bear
They were watching me,
but they were not aware
She's stolen half her shop and
hidden it in her underwear
Looks are deceiving,
you better take care
Come now, things you think you
see ain't necessarily there
They talk about love at first sight,
but you know it's just lust
Cause you can't judge a pie
by the look of the crust
Now girls, you must be careful
when you choose a lover
Or you might choose a man
who is out of order
When you first meet the man,
him a casanova
Him a flash all up a money
like him big voucher
Him coulda have a gold ring
pon every finger
Coulda have a gold chain
bigger than fi tiger
What a thing when you find
out him a imposter
And him don't want no money,
him is just a poser
He tell you he's been to the
most expensive hairdresser
When it really was curly perm by him sister
All of the girls ring him,
lend him from him brother
Him chain woulda turned green
if it did touch water
Him move inna your house,
him turn a loafer
All day long, him lay down pon your sofa
The only time that him move is
when him wantin' dinner
If you argue with him,
him turn a wife beater
So when you choose your honey,
don't bother choose one for money
Try to choose somebody with
some personality
Loops or deceiving,
you better take care of
Things you think you see
ain't necessarily there
Don't judge a book by its cover
or people by their colour
Thinking like that ain't
gonna get you nowhere
I won't change,
I'm satisfied with what I am
I'm proud to be a
Rastafari
African
People might see me and
think that I'm a hooligan
But they don't know me and they
would be very wrong
Righteousness and godliness,
that's where I'm coming from
The liberation of every man in every land
If you don't trouble me,
then I am meeker than a lamb
Trouble me and I will turn into a lion
Rawr!
Don't trust that youth
Just cause he's got a three -piece suit
He might look cute
But inside he could be a brute
The girl with the smile
She might be driving you so wild
But she might have
A bite worse than a crocodile
Can't even trust that man
who's got that
Bible in his hand
Cause he might be
Collaborating with
Satan
Check out people when you meet first time,
man
Give them a chance before
you make up your mind
Looks are deceiving,
you better take care
Things you think you see
ain't necessarily there
Don't judge a book by its cover,
or people by their colour
Thinking like that ain't
gonna get you nowhere
Pala palang, pala pala pala palang
Go.
One.
