Reap What You Sow Lyrics - Lucky Dube

We hear you crying so bitterly 

Trying to get people to help you, ye, ye 

But nobody will 

Your son was brutalizing people every time 

But you said nothing 

Now it's the time to pay the price 

It's time to pay, ye, ye, ye, ye 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

Coming back home with stolen things 

Instead of telling him how wrong he was 

You told him how clever he was 

People coming out of burning houses 

It's your son, driving stolen cars every time 

It's your son but you said nothing 

But now he's turning against you 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

Everybody knows no jail can keep him 

'Cause you rubbing shoulders with the law 

But now it's time to pay the price, wo, woh 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow 

You gonna reap just what you sow
