[Pre-Chorus: Stephen Marley]
Though the wicked persecute I, still my heart has love
Oh, my head's anointed with the powers of love
Though the wicked persecute I with envy and grudge
Oh, my head's anointed, ayy

[Chorus: Stephen Marley]
There is no room for mistakes, we're sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh, clear a space
There is no room for mistakes, mama said, sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh, clear a space, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Stephen Marley]
Though the wicked persecute I, still my heart has love
Oh, my head's anointed with the powers of love
Though them wicked persecute I with envy and grudge
But my head's anointed, hey

[Chorus: Stephen Marley]
There is no room for mistakes, we're sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh, clear a space
There is no room for mistakes, papa said, sailing a tight ship ashore
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh, clear a space, yeah

[Bridge: Stephen Marley]
Let's get this ship up and quick, in spick and spanking, yes
All hands on deck, I said, don't let me say it again
Let's get this ship up and quick, in spick and spanking, yes
All hands on deck, I said, don't let, I gotta say it again
[Verse: Damian Marley]
Boom, from we a likkle boy dem used to grudge we fi we horlicks
Nuff a dem nah hold no joy, dem full a bare envy and malice
Nuff a dem a get bad mind and saying, "Those arrogant Marleys"
Them say who Jah bless, no man curse, Babylon is harmless
Alright now, nuff a dem hard at work, them watching who's working the hardest
Grasshopper jump at anything that scruffle in the grasses
And dem never yet grudge the other creatures of the forest
What you reap is what you sow, don't be surprised when we a harvest
My pocket so fat, is it a walrus in my wallet?
True say no man no perfect but our flows are always flawless
One room at a time is where the shack or where the palace
Cleanliness is godliness so keep it clean regardless
We're from the sweeping haffi start, get rid of filthiness and garbage
Swashbucklers a walk the plank if dem nuh up, full likewise honest
Officers aboard this ship is heading to the land of promise

[Stephen Marley]
There ain't no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey
Sailing
Get the broom, sweep the place, oh clear a space
