Viper Songtext
von Glen Washington

Vultures leave me alone, let me be
Let Jah pour out His blessing on me
When will they learn, truly
Only Jah rule my destiny, ooh

Now that you gone and left me
And taking my kindness for weakness
You thought I'd be down, stressed out
On this road I'm determined to trod

Some time ago, you told me
All this love that we shared was forever
Only Jah love, it keeps me
Making it cross the river

I shoulda never given love to a viper
Got to leave dem frustrations alone
I didn't know that you were a sniper
I am better off on my own


I shoulda never given love to trickster
Who would play with me feelings for fun
I've got nothing to do with a shyster
Who would take all my money and run

Now I found someone to hold me
All my suffering days are over
Got this new vibe within me
Giving ises and praising Jehovah

You said you knew what's right for me
And people should wait and see
But all that you do, was stress for me
My friends and family

I shoulda never given love to a viper
Got to leave dem frustrations alone
I didn't know that you were a sniper
I am better off on my own

I shoulda never given love to trickster
Who would play with me feelings for fun
I've got nothing to do with a shyster
Who would take all my money and run


Leave me alone, let me be
Let Jah pour out His blessing on me
When will they learn, truly
Only Jah rule my destiny

I know that you can't be serious
When you said you want papers on me
Things that you do, makes me furious
Temptations you put me through

I shoulda never given love to a viper
Got to leave dem frustrations alone
I didn't know that you were a sniper
I am better off on my own

I shoulda never given love to trickster
Who would play with me feelings for fun
I've got nothing to do with a shyster
Who would take all my money and run, ooh

Now that you gone and left me
And taking my kindness for weakness
You thought I'd be down, stressed out
On this road I'm determined to trod

Some time ago, you told me
All this love that we shared was forever
Only Jah love, it keeps me
Making it cross the river

I shoulda never given love to a viper
Got to leave dem frustrations alone
I didn't know that you were a sniper
I am better off on my own.
