Song TEXT
Psyche and Trim (Lee Perry) – by The Return of Super Ape , LP (Black Ark/Upsetter 1977)

Ew, psyche and trim you gonna get a spankin’
A false balance is abomination to Jah Jah
But a just weight is His delight, yeah
A false witness shall not go by unpunished
For he that speaketh lies, shall perish yeah
Psyche and Trim claims them a top rankin’
But sooner or later them gonna get a spankin’, from Jah Jah
For when come pride then cometh shame
So tell me now who you gonna blame
You deny the King
Psyche and Trim
So you shall be cut off from your limb, yeah
You curse the root
You deny the truth
You curse the root
So you shall never inherit Jah fruit, oh no
People out there might be wondering what I’m talking about
I will give you a piece out of my heavy load, yeah
Psyche and Trim two branches of the limb
One is fat and the other is slim
Like Abbott and Costella
Like two greedy fellas
They never satisfie’
Them always a cry, yeah
They deny Jah Jah
They curse the root
So they shall never, never, never inherit Jah fruit
Oh no
Mr top ranking
Said you gonna get a spanking
Mr top ranking, Mr top ranking
You gonna get a spanking, today
False witness shall not go by unpunished
And he that speaketh lies shall perish, perish
A false balance
Is abomination to Jah Jah
But a just weight
A just weight is His delight, yeah
When cometh pride then cometh shame
So tell me now who you gonna blame, yeah
Trouble they abroad
No bring it come a yard
You got to face the card
Because the table turn, oh yay
Psyche and Trim
Claims them a top rankin’…
