Bob Marley - Small Axe Lyrics
Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver
So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
These are the words
Of my master, keep on tellin' me
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)
If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
(To cut you down)
(To cut you down)
These are the words
Of my master, tellin' me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)
If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened ...

Pourquoi te vanter, ô méchant homme
Feignant l’intelligence que tu n’as pas ?
Je dis que tu accrois (œuvres dans) l’iniquité
Pour satisfaire ta vanité
Mais les bienfaits de Jah Jah sont éternels
Si tu es un grand arbre
Nous sommes la petite hache
Taillée pour t’abattre
Bien affûtée pour t’abattre
Voici les mots de mon maître
Qui m’enseigne
Que les esprits pusillanimes ne peuvent pas réussir
Et quiconque creuse une fosse
Tombera dedans
Quiconque creuse une fosse
Sera enseveli
Alors si tu es un grand arbre
Nous sommes la petite hache
Taillée pour t’abattre
Bien affûtée pour t’abattre
Et quiconque creuse une fosse
Tombera dedans
Quiconque creuse une fosse
Sera enseveli
Alors si tu as un grand arbre
Nous avons une petite hache
Taillée pour l’abattre
Bien affûtée pour l’abattre

I think CIA planted something in poor Bob's shoes. It happens every time someone with real message happens to have their voice heard. JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and many more. On it goes, the killing of prophets goes back to Jesus Christ, and probably even further back. Sad how ruthless gangsters kill off the very brightest of our crop instead of appreciate their message.
Marley was a philosopher
playing smart but not clever

A Rasta ,playing in the street, was asked by me to play "Small Axe". He didnt know it,but told me: B-M was fighting for/against "Jamaican Records" for a contract, and wrote this song. Not ALL is religious…. Peace,people!... and acceptance.

My idol, his knowledge is the basis of my thinking in my life!
Mate,
Hip-hop isn't that bad, it's an evolution of the music born in a certain community. Just as the reggae did.
I don't really like it because what rappers do can be boring, but the genre is legitimate!
I'll do the same remark for pop, I love bands such as Radiohead, they're good musicians whatever you'll say. Even biggest bands like Queen have made pop!
In the end, you can blame the bands for doing something not interesting to you (and I OFTEN do so), not the genre :)
i dont understand why all of u hate hip hop and rap so mutch, i like bob marley mutch more but let them just listen to that music if they want, whats the problem with it just chill dont worry to mutch about them just listen to the king bob marley and dont hate those guys ure talking about
Have you checked out the albulm chant down Babylon? It's Marley songs but rappers on the tracks as well.
You're right. I don't really listen hip hop. I didn't know exactly what was the difference between hip hop and real hip hop as you said. I checked out damu the fudgemunk. If that's the real hip hop, then I have to say that is better than the other popular shit. That's not my style, but better than we all hear on tv.
The point is that we all love Bob and peace and love and smoking...
better than rap hip hop shit,,,,,,

SWEET MELODY
lol, man that's bull :P! but you got a sweet fantacy =D
bob was not a stoner he merely partook in a sacred sacriment to jah and remembering him for that does naught but disgrace everything he stood for.
Respects from Holland
peace from Holland
Happy Birthday Bob, Rest in Peace mon.
these are tha words of my master..!!!
this song is deep son
Metalheadz against racism!
bob marley rulez
one love!! ur muslim brother...
What BROTHER,
THEY are children of SATAN
:]
Not really, it wasn't until i stopped smoking weed i started listening to bob. And i'm white too. Music isn't about bad habits or skin color :/.
Ya mon, Love and inity. One Love, Jah love. Jah praise.
One of my favourite Bob & The Wailers songs, always picks you up and inspires. Love the Family Man also (just thought I'd add that bit)
an ask: what does mean small axe? anyone have the translation to spanish of this song?
this song has everything; smooth reggae beat, bob marley and reverence for the lord!

No it isn't. I actually have the original.
majestic - jah bless !
such silly comments on youtube these days
I taught him how to sing if it wasn't for me he wouldn't be good.
This version proves that the greatness of the original version is due to Lee Perry, and *not* B.M.
good song, but the other version is better, i agree with daviddude96
Great song with lyrics full of wisdom!
BTW, this hit inspired UB40's "Here I Am (Come An' Tek Me)".
No one will ever better Mr Marley . Am sittin down with my mum chillin listing to the father. Kaveman
Bob marley wymiata!
If you are a big big tree, and im a small axe....i dont know what it means exactly...but the words are so profound to me....so spiritual........peace
great song ,love it.
just peace and love from me to everyone, irie.
Check out Peter Tosh's back vocals!
true words
Playing smart and not be clever, what a poet.
Bob RIP. this is one of my favorites
One Love, Rest in Peace to a Legend.
this man changes peoples lives
my favorite marley tune.
