Lyrics Forward Ever Backward Never - Jacob Miller

I've got a top rankin' sound
Going to mash the town
So gather the people from around
Get dem to rock to the sound

A mi say, sing this song of culture
A mi say, singing dem songs of love
A mi say, singing dem songs of culture
A mi say, singing dem songs of love

A mi say, forward ever and a backward never
Forward ever and a back, a backward never
Yeah - woh-oh - yeah!

Songs for the people to unite
Teaching them not to fight
Manners must turn to discipline
That's what your justice will a, will a bring!

Sing dem a song of culture
A mi say, singing dem songs of love
A mi say, singing dem a song of a culture
A mi say, singing dem a songs of love

A mi say, forward ever and a backward never
Forward ever and a back, a backward never
A backward never, a backward never, yeah
