No Woman No Cry

no woman no cry
no woman no cry
yea
we sit and remember all the things about back when we used to sit
and talk about all the girls that we had in the basement down at my house
grandma upstairs but you know we didn't ever care
over over serving the hits that we would play
lets become big is what what we would pray
and they would mingle with the good songs that we made
write enough of them and well market just got to pay

and good friends we had and good friends we lost
and they were young of course and now the pain will last all daaaaay
but that's alright cause listen up and now I'm gonna say
in this bright future you can't forget your past 'cause it wont last yea
so dry your tears and now I say to all the men that had to lead the way

no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry
yea

hold up hold up
said I remember when we used to rock we better be jumpin and pickin away the 'tar
in the basement down at my house gotta make a play to keep on top a list of who got laid
and then cake boy would strive to make the band alive
and lets get to a tune
jumpin to rock the mic so we could burn on through the night
comin' up on the one now get a set to get the job done
and then we would look cool to the fighter with the courageous left hook
I'm callin' upon our friends so we can get our due
me and the kid'll be layin' the fattest tracks that you ever knew
up up up up and away my super dreams are the wind and sailin' out today
and I don't give a damn about the music biz
I'm just writin' my songs and what I'm tellin' you is

everythings gonna be alright
and everythings gonna be alright
murder 1 in the house tonite
and everythings gonna be alright
everythings gonna be alright now
and everythings gonna be alright
we come alive in the house tonite
and everythings gonna be alright

no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry

lemme say about that baby
if you got no woman then you got no cry
and my heart is gonna tell me to wave byebye
and if I never had wanted a woman i wouldnt be havin one to me
if i had it again i would take what i please
I'll take em round and I'll takes em tall
now I'm thinkin' of gettin' possession we got now the morn
and if i got any ones that don't love me
I wanted a woman with me
you dont get nothing for free
yea

no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry
no woman no cry
yea

put that in your pipe and smoke it
