Crystal Ball

Peter Tosh

Album: Mystic Man

Look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
I say look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
What do you see, cultured man?
Tell me what do you see, cultured man?

I see people, victim.
Prices, rising.
Gas, shorting.
And the dollar, devaluing.
In the city, in a you so-shitty [society].
In the city, in a the so-shitty.

I say look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
Come on look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
What do you see, cultured man?
Tell me what do you see, cultured man?

I see them churches, locked down.
And schools, closed down.
Politicians, promising.
Teacher, striking.
In a the city, in a you so-shitty.
In the city, in a the so-shitty.

Come on, come on look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
I say look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
Tell me, tell me what do you see, cultured man?
Tell me what do you see, cultured man?

I see youths, rising.
Blood, running.
Fire, burning.
God, crying.
In a the shitty, in a the shitty.
In the city, it is a shitty.

Look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
I say look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
What do you see, cultured man?
Tell me what, what do you see, cultured man?

I see truth, revealing.
People, cleansing.
Downpressor chasing.
People, seeing.
In a the shitty, in a the shitty.
In a you shitty, in a you shitty.

And I say look in a you crystal ball cultured man.
Keep on looking a you crystal ball cultured man.
Let us have a view on the inside cultured man.
We see too much of the outside cultured man.
Give me a glimpse in a you crystal ball cultured man.
Make me see what a gwaan cultured man.
Long time we blind, so, so blind, cultured man.
