All I Know
Harvest of Greed: Julian Marley's Warning on the Dangers of Taking Too Much
Lyrics
All I know if you keep on taking water from the well
If you consistently take resources without replenishing, they will eventually run out, leaving you with nothing.
It will all dry up and you have up having nothing for yourself
Continuing to deplete resources will result in a lack of self-sufficiency and personal loss.
All I know if you keep on taking water from the well
Reiteration of the consequence of depleting resources from the well.
It will all dry up and you have up having nothing for yourself
Emphasizes the inevitable outcome of exhausting resources and the resulting self-deprivation.
Your making a fool of yourself
Engaging in actions that make oneself appear foolish.
Thinking money can buy you health
Believing that wealth can purchase good health.
It's only a greedy heart
Highlighting the negative trait of a greedy heart.
Loves to finish but never start
Expressing a tendency to complete tasks but not initiate them.
You use and abuse everyone around you
Exploiting and mistreating those around you without regard for their well-being.
Taking them for granted
Taking people for granted, not appreciating their contributions.
Feeling like the world is against you
Feeling persecuted and facing challenges, leading to a defensive attitude.
So you take advantage
Taking advantage of situations or people.
All I know if you keep on taking water from the well
Reiterating the consequence of depleting resources, emphasizing the need for balance.
It will all dry up and you have up having nothing for yourself
Underlining the negative outcome of continuous resource depletion.
All I know if you keep on taking water from the well
Restating the warning about the consequences of taking too much from the well.
It will all dry up and you have up having nothing for yourself
Reemphasizing the eventual loss and lack resulting from ongoing resource exploitation.
Your head is gone so far
Being mentally distant, possibly losing one's identity, and experiencing dissatisfaction.
Almost forgotten who you are and you're never satisfied
Inability to be content due to excessive pride, leading to potential self-deception.
You can't see 'cause your full of pride and one day you'll be played
Anticipating future consequences, such as being deceived or taken advantage of.
But your own works you will be played
Forewarning about the consequences of one's actions catching up with them.
One more thing don't say you never heard
Advising against risky behavior, emphasizing the potential for negative outcomes.
Play with fire you will get burned
Warning about the repercussions of engaging in dangerous activities.
All I know if you keep on taking water from the well
Reiteration of the consequences of continuous resource depletion, urging a change in behavior.
It will all dry up and you have up having nothing for yourself
Stressing the importance of avoiding actions that deplete resources for personal gain.
All I know if you keep on taking water from the well
Repeating the warning about the eventual loss resulting from excessive resource consumption.
It will all dry up and you have up having nothing for yourself
Emphasizing the depletion of resources and the subsequent personal loss if the behavior persists.
