Marcus Garvey Time
This is Marcus Garvey time, every words him said a come to pass Man woman and babes, on top of the root fighting their brothers But how long will this go on - it must got to stop - No bad can ever over come good
Take love and make we mash down hate So throw away your guns, throw away your guns Every man want to survive so let live in love and peace - let's live in love and peace Let Jah Jah go before us and make we mash down hate Jah Jah go before us
It will be signs and wonders Man will be running all around So throw away, your guns Throw away your guns Every man want to survive so let live in love and peace - let's live in love and peace Let Jah Jah go before us - and make we mash down hate Jah Jah go before us.......

God Bless
I am a god bless tell them my friend So needless you tried no you won't catch me I am a god bless tell them my friend Needless you tried no you won't suceed
Stay there and set up all you plans Laugh with me in the face then stab at me in the back But Your conscious soon start ride you am giving your time For who god bless he said no man shall curse Digging one pit remember to dig two
I am a god bless tell them my friend So needless you tried no you won't catch me I am a god bless tell them my friend Needless you tried no you won't suceed cause
The longest liver will see the most I know my house is build on solid ground So when the wind him it wont come tumbling down And when the tide rolled I will be riding the storm The longest liver will see the most So I know my house is built on solid ground
For I am a god bless tell them my friend So needless you tried no you won't catch me I am a god bless tell them my friend Needless you tried no you won't suceed ....

The Race
You already in the race don't you give up your time will come The race is not for the swift but for the smart When things get rough on you don't get upset Just keep a smile with love in your heart One day I know the good lord will help you out
Just hold your head up high With love in your heart with a song in your thought Love your fellow man treat every one good Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth But those that exalted themselves shall he abased..............
---------------------------------------------
Guts
Say you got to have guts to be a natty dreadlocks You've got to have guts to he a natty dreadlocks You got to be strong or else they will Trample you to the ground They don't vant to see natty dread survive But in this battle, natty are the surviver
You got to have guts to be a natty dreadlocks I said you got to stand up and fight for what you want Persecution is what we will got to bear They will even give you basket Oh yes to carry water when they don't like you
So you got to have guts (guts, guts) to be a natty dreadlocks You got to be strong to be a natty dreadlocks............

Rich Man Poor Man
The rich man poor man beggar man thief Everyone claim that them are the chief The rich man buy the poor man's life The poor man take away the beggar man's wife
Don't cry my brothers Don't cry my sisters
Tears won't change the situation It's just a form, a form of reaction
If you step on fire, fire burn you If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong, Say the weak ones now will soon become strong
Hey, everything will soon be okay As soon as the war is over Jah children will be free to come over Singing and dancing ready to take over Have some faith, have a little faith
Hey, everything will soon he okay As soon as the war is over Jah children will be free to come over Singing and dancing ready to take over Have some faith, have a little faith...

No Wrong Idea
I've got no idea when it first began Some said it's four hundred years since we've been down here in slaves Some said it's from creation we have been trampled on History said it's true, a man practise what he preach
But I will not stick to that and live on - a next man idea, a next man idea (cause) Everyday you are one day older - who can stop that - which man can change that So I will not mix up my brain with no wrong idea with no hearsay What is to be, must be, I said puss and dog don't got the same luck So I don't want to live in the past
I've got no idea when the first began Some said it's four hundred years since we've been down here in slaves Some said it's from creation we have been trampled on So I will not stick to that and live on a next man idea, next man idea cause Everyday you are one day older Who can stop that which man can change that ? I said I will not mix up my brain with no wrong idea (with) no hearsay What is to he must be - puss and dogs, don't got the same luck So I don't want to live in the past
I've got no idea when it first began Some said it's four hundred years since we've been down here in slaves Some said it's from creation, we have be trampled on What's what we come come hear, that's what we come come hear A so we come come hear....

Follow The Rainbow
I'll follow the rain, the rain, the rain, the rainbow I'll follow the rainbow. There's a pot of gold - at the and of the rainbow Broad is the my to elsewhere - narrow is the way to our equal share, The road may be rugged an stiff But I, I won't let go Oh no no no no no no no no no no
What is for Peter cannot be for Paul What is for James cannot be for John What is for Harry cannot be for Tom What is for Marcus cannot be for Rufus
Want you to know What is for I cannot be for another man
So I'll follow the rain, the rain, the rain, of the rainbow, Rainbow follow the rainbow I'll follow the rain, the rain, the rain, oh yes the rainbow, Rainbow follow the rainbow....

The Warriors
We are the warriors, we are the warriors I said, are the warriors, are the warriors We will tell you what we a defend, tell you what we a defend We are soldiers marching for Jah , soldiers marching for Jah So they always want to track us down, they always want to track us down To nail us when our eyes are close, But we will never sleep nor slumber - we will never sleep nor slumber
(we) Stand at the gate well ready But we ain't showing no bombs and we ain't shooting no guns Jah Protect us so we tough, tougher than tough We are the warriors, I said we are the warriors, We are fighting against the wrong - fighting against the wrong To bring rights into the light - bring rights into the light So we are the warriors...
----------------------------------------------
Prayer To Jah
Father today I cry to thee Let not my enemies over come me Every day they are growing more stronger They have set their traps up all around me But the hotter the battle the sweeter the victory For who God bless no man shall curse I know one day I get my reward When I see them come falling at my feet
But I won't do like them For I'm a righteous man I will show them the good man should do showing them We are one skin one blood So we should love one another and things will be better
I know,I know things will be better Say if you give love a try Yes people unite Say if you give love a try..............

Streets Of Freedom
Too long, too long, too long, Too long, too long
Hey, I say lonelyness for my company, Tears for my coffee, Sorrows for my bread, Tickles and thorns for my bed to but,
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom yes I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom (but) When will it be, when will it be ? When will it be, when will it be ?
Too long, too long, too long, Too long, too long.
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom yes I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom (but) When will it be, when will it be ? When will it be, when will it be ?
Way over yonder, the flowers of happiness Blooming so slow, blooming slow but sure, yes
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom But when will it be, when will it be ? When will it be, when will it be ?
You by hypocrites back sliders oh
A wa dem a go do, when the tables turn A wa dem a go do, when we hold the handle And then them hold the blade When will it be, when will it be ? When will it be, when will it be ?
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom yes...
