lyrics

Only one things important
Soul Development
Plug into all the source of
Higher consciousness
Concentrate on obtaining
Full Development
Always taken for granted
Folks don't have time for it!
Well if you lust for the gold
Your soul is already sold
And if you think you are fine
Well all beauty must fade in time
And when you think you are smart
It will be harder for you to learn
So we'll begin at the start
Only one things important
Soul Development
Plug into all the source of
Higher consciousness
Concentrate on obtaining
Full Development
Always taken for granted
People don't have time for it!
You can forget your pride
Pride can't get you inside
And the jealous can't stay
They got their old dues to pay
Before you put your hands on your gun
Make sure there is no other way
Murder can not be undone
Only one things important
Soul Development
Plug into all the source of
Higher consciousness
Concentrate on obtaining
Full Development
Always taken for granted
People don't ever have time for it
SAX SOLO
Hear this: PIANO SOLO
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil
BASS AND DRUM DUB
Only one things important
Your inner self is who you are
Plug into all the source of
Dirty ways can't get nowhere
Concentrate on obtaining
Forward ever and backward never
Always taken for granted
Only one things important
Don't allow material things to get to your head
Lug into all the source of
Real real! Jah is so real to me!
Concentrate on obtaining
Always taken for granted
