Researches shall be done in order to decide whether crediting Bob Marley and/or Lee “Scratch” Perry for lyrics and/or music.
I have a booklet saying ALL PERRY, seen stuff online saying ALL MARLEY and this page http://www.allmusic.com/song/t855834 saying (but I’m not english native) something like both.

The 2001 CD of The Wailers' Burnin' lists Bob Marley as the sole credit.
