Message From The Meditations

[Intro]
Huh, oh yeah, la-la-la-la-la
Huh, what a la-la-la
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, yeah hey
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, woah-woah-oh
[Chorus]
All who is running from Jamaica
I hope it's forever
All who is running from Jamaica
Hope it's forever
[Verse 1]
When the gate is closed
We don't want no knocking
When the gate is closed
We don't want no rook-o-took (So)
[Chorus]
Pick your place from now
Before it's too late (All who a run, run, run, run)
Pick your place from now
Before you regret
[Verse 2]
When Noah was building his ark
Everyone laugh
But when the big flood came
They started to weep and mourn (Weep and mourn)
Weep and mourn (Weep and mourn)
Tell you, tell you now
[Chorus]
Pick your place from now
Before it's too late (All who a run)
Pick your place from now
Before you regret (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
When Noah was building his ark
Everyone laugh
But when the big flood came
They start to weep and mourn (Weep and mourn)
Weep and mourn (Weep and mourn)
Let me tell you now
[Chorus]
Pick your place from now
Before it's too late (All who a run)
Pick your place from now
Before you regret
[Verse 4]
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
You're not a British born
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
Or a Canadian born
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
You're not American born
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
I wonder if Africa you're going
[Outro]
Hey, take it
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
La-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na
