Lyrics
Them crazy, them crazy
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of town
I and I build the cabin
I and I plant the corn
Didn’t my people before me
Slave for this country
Now you look me with your scorn
Then you eat up all my corn
We gonna chase those crazy
Chase them crazy
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town
scat Stidilila bip dip stap stip stildia do stap dou dadilia de la lele Sta tuduli tuduli tuduli tuduli tuduli doup tidi Stadialo stap steledede
Build your penitentiary, we build your schools
Brainwashed education, tryin’ to make us your fools
Hate is your reward for our love
Telling at us of your God above
We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy pumpheads
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of the yard
Dub wise
We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy pumpheads
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of the yard
Here come the conman
Coming with his con plan
We won’t take no bribe
We’ve got to stay alive
We’re gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy baldheads
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of the yard
Music analysis
Classic Bob Marley song with a classic reggae chord progression and an awesome one drop pattern.
Other versions
There’s an alternate take of this song on the Rastaman Vibration album.
For sure, one of the best take is the one from the live Raimbow Theatre, London 77, mashed up with Running Away and Jamming.
