Cornerstone Lyrics by Ziggy Marley

2022

[intro]
Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic rocks
Elementary so dem tune into the real roots rock

(ah yeah)
(yeah)
(bbbbb beats)
(chawawawawa)
(ay)

[Chorus]
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone (sing it [?])
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone

[bridge]
You're a builder, baby (shalalalala)
Here I am, a stone (shalalalala)
Don't you think and refuse mе (shalalalala)
'Cause the things peoplе refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say

[Chorus]
The stone that the builder refuse (Stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (Stone that the builder refuse)
The stone that the builder refuse (Stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (Stone that the builder refuse)

[verse 1]
So I'm a stones throw away from all the way no innocence
So I'm a stones throw while a glass house of livin' in
So I'm a stones throw from each other in diligence
Stoned and refuse the same stone it was written in
Some I guess don't over cultures and premises
Some I guess don't over judge men from enemies
Some I guess don't overdose in 'em mannequins

[bridge]
You're a builder, baby (shalalalala)
Here I am, a stone (shalalalala)
Don't you think and refuse me (shalalalala, don't you pick)
'Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? (do you hear me) Hear what I say

[verse 2]
Stoned and refuse hand me the stone it was written in
Written in stone, on statues and images
Scribbled in stone in ancient languages
Riddles and codes of the ancient prophecies
Stone carry gold but not all them got 'em in
Stone in the crown and the [?] that it's sitting in
Some stones carry minerals and vitamins
Rock stone of you should I choose when I'm digging in

[bridge]
Now you're a builder, baby (shalalalala, oh yeah)
Ohh here I am, a stone (shalalalala)
Don't you think and refuse me (shalalalala)
'Cause the things people refuse (yeah)
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say

[Chorus x3]
The stone that the builder refuse (Stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (Stone that the builder refuse)
(tell them brother)
The stone that the builder refuse (Stone that the builder refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone (Stone that the builder refuse)

(o-o-one for children)

The stone that the builder refuse (o-o-one for)
Will always be the head cornerstone
The stone that the builder refuse (isn't what what you're doing)
Will always be the head cornerstone (yes it will now)

The stone that the builder refuse (refusing)
Will always be the head cornerstone (over what you take now)
The stone that the builder refuse (watch what you is saying)
Will always be the head cornerstone (not what it is now)
