Our Father In Zion lyrics
Our Father who art in Zion Hallowed be Thy name Thy Kingdom come on earth Thine will be done on earth Hallowed be Thy name
--------------------------------------------------------
Hills And Valleys lyrics
Only Rasta can liberate the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe for a minute that they are with you Jah free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe for a minute, they don't like you
Verse 1: Why try to make I unhappy Really I don't know If it was up to them my friend We would never see the sun nor the snow Through that mystical communication within We keep on coming together I love to see brothers and sisters Looking out for one another That's the way it should be Not contrary, stop tearing down each other
Only Rasta free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe one minute that they are with you Jah free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Verse 2: Hard drugs won't do You're just behaving like they want you to (yeah) Arrogance is much different from ignorance And I know you feel the same way too Many live this life without having a clue No reason why they are so sad and blue Places to go so much things to do Not a moment to reflect on the cycle of life (yeah)
A who free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe for a minute that they are with you Jah free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe one minute, they don't like you
It hard, it hard, it hard (yeah) Mek them know we waan go home a we yard It hard, it hard, it hard (let them know) Let them know we waan go home a we yard It hard, it hard, it hard (let them know) Let them know we waan go home a we yard It hard, it hard, it hard (oh god) We waan go home
Only Rasta free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe one minute, they don't like you
Repeat Verse 1
A who free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe one minute, they don't like you Jah free the people Over hills and valleys too Don't let them fool you Don't believe one minute, they don't like you

Destiny lyrics
Verse 1 The rich man's wealth is in the city Destruction of the poor is his poverty Destruction of your soul is vanity Do you hear ? I and I, I wanna rule my destiny I and I, I wanna rule my destiny
Chorus Destiny, mama look from when you call me Destiny, mama look from when you calling I wannna rule my destiny Yeah, yeah, oh help I please Jah Jah mek mi rule
Verse 2 I've been blessed I've been touched I love Jah so much The keep fighting me I'm not giving up May the realms of Zion fill my spriritual cup Wisdom overstanding can never be too much Give i protection, day and night From even the pestilence that walk in the day light
Chorus Cast away their cords from us You have thim in the region in the valley of decision Restraining the heathen with a rod of iron You know not the destiny of a next man Why hold him, set him free too long
Verse 3 My destination is homeward bound Through the force try to hold I down Breaking chains has become the norm I know I must get through no matter what a gwaan

Cry No More lyrics
Don't cry, don't cry Oh no, oh no
I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no You got to be strong Never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no You gotta be strong, oh my love
I know I've hurt you more than once Treating your love like I don't response Time in deed, caught up on me Trapped in your tears Please set me free I plea Maybe I took this life for granted Making you feel like you're not wanted Ego got the best of me Chasing every beautiful woman I see In the end what's my reward I brought unhappiness in a mi yard, oh Lord
I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no No no no no no no no I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no Dry your weeping eyes, oh my love
And this may sound just like a drama Inside me there's constant fire Burning my soul, saying oh what a liar You've hurt me, so much time hurt her no longer But I am really a true believer in love Trying my best to make it work Show me a man who doesn't cheat Nor flirt in this world Boys will be attracted to girls
I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no Got to be strong I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no No no no no no no no
I know that I've hurt you more than once Treating your love like I don't response Time in deed, caught up on me Trapped in your tears Please set me free I plea Maybe I took this love for granted Making you feel like you're not wanted Ego got the best of me Chasing every beautiful woman I see In the end what's my reward I brought unhappiness in a mi yard, oh Lord
I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no Wipe your eyes I never want to see you crying over me You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no You got to be strong

My Woman Now lyrics
Buju: Lady Love ! This woman she's like a blessing from above. Got to let dem know dat.
Beres: Talking about you... Might as well I tell you about the thoughts that I've been hiding, A list so long I hardly know where to start (lady love). Don't be offended if I tell you you're a helluva kind a woman And you do something special to my heart. I see you as a queen and a lady, no ifs, no buts, no maybe. The only thing sweeter than my honeycomb. Keep up as the same queen and lady, Keep it standing steady, the only thing sweeter than my honeycomb.
Buju: Watch yah, This man won't stand the every day dissing. Woman reminiscing whole month she been missing. Committing di ultimate sin When a yu mi entrust with safe keeping every single thing. When mi think yu lef di boy gal yu still deh wid him Sneaking around privately meeting. Must did tell yu seh di doop is sleeping. Thru mi love yu so much an mi nuh want do nothing. I going put yu under manners with sweet discpline.
Beres: And now let me tell you what a joy it is to have you And no two people in the world could be the same. (Lady love). You provide me with inspiration. I know I'm in the right direction. You're always there come sun come ah rain. See you as a queen and a lady no ifs, no buts, no maybe. The only thing sweeter than my honeycomb. Keep up as the same queen and lady keep it standing steady, You're the only thing sweeter than my honeycomb.
Buju: Caan watch the finance things nuh all that balance Through the grace of the lord we shall find our bread. Baby love nuh make the lack of funds get to yuh head What provide is enough don't have no reason fi beg. Yu ah my girl now let's move on ahead. I've got plans for yu, so much we got to do. Nuh mek nuh man bust yu salad wid no idiot tackle.
Beres: Talking about you... Might as well I tell you about the thoughts that I've been hiding, A list so long I hardly know where to start (lady love). Don't be offended if I tell you you're a helluva kind a woman And you do something special to my heart. I see you as a queen and a lady, no ifs, no buts, no maybe. The only thing sweeter than my honeycomb. Keep up as the same queen and lady, Keep it standing steady, the only thing sweeter than my honeycomb.

Single Parent lyrics
Consider, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Consider, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life is ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Woman I thank you, thank you oh Mama Mama I never know no father yet you provide my dinner And I love you, oh Mama When you cry I cry too Why do you look so dull and forsaken I know that he's gone and your heart is broken But we are still together Mama never leave us alone at home, no
I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent to learn it ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent to learn it ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Won't turn my back and you can count on that If I should go I shall be coming right back That motherly love gently tucking me in the sack Bedtime kisses and hugs I feel as if I'm taking back How sweet you are let me number you ways I asked the Father guide you for the rest of your days
I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Consider, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Anyhow it gone bad already can't stop him now We've got to survive some way some how Nuh fret and mawga down better must come From the Lord ordain thy will must be done Nuh expose yuh linen dirt ever deh pon di ground Nuh make di world know bout yu Yu character pipe will bung Go on Buju the Banton with words of wisdom Woman hold your head up don't hold it down
I wonder, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Consider, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad
Once more thank you, thank you oh Mama Mama I never know no father yet you provide my dinner And I love you, oh Mama When you cry I cry too Why do you look so dull and forsaken I know that he's gone and your heart is broken But we are still together Mama never leave us alone at home, no
Consider, how she make it to the end of the day Working so hard just to get paid As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad As a single parent life ain't easy Playing the role of mom and dad As a single parent...

Give I Strength lyrics
Lord give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength
Indeed I see pestilence and plague But I'm not afraid They are looking for what they can take Come in all size appear in all shape Lord give us the vision to differentiate Yeah they lay wait, we shall escape God who protect is greater than great In all that we do He holds our fate
Jah Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength
Teach the youths them right in the way they should grow Joy is a stream constantly flow And I don't want to be unhappy Let me live till I'm gray I work hard to get pay Keep out of tale bearers and back-biters way Never let this bit of education decay no way
Jah Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength
(Ras Shiloh's part)
Jah Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days Give I strength Jah give us strength Never let us fail To live out the greater part of our days Give us strength
(Ras Shiloh's part)
Teach the youths them right in the way they should grow Joy is a stream constantly flow And I don't want to be unhappy Let me live till I'm gray I work hard to get pay Keep out of tale bearers and back-biters way Never let this bit of education decay no way
Jah Jah give I strength Never let I fail To live out the greater part of my days

Close One Yesterday lyrics
One more day in the struggle Have to get up and go juggle Yu done know Want a little sugar inna de pan Me nah see fi trouble no man
Oh oh...
Said I had a close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better
The rich is wise in his conceit But the fool with overstanding search him out Poor man mourn the rich riches increase Be not grieved, riches are not forever Envy not the oppressor chose none of his ways Be not wise in his own eyes Only Jah you must praise Strive not with a man without cause If he have done no harm Let by gone be by gone
Said I had a close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better
This nine to five is a joke Compare to the pressure The minister say The economy is getting better Misleading the people The mass still suffer, oh Jah Scarce benefits and spoils Jah know that we feel it Day and night we cry, cry, cry Jah know that we feel it Who can help a weeping soul like I
LL Rasta: Said I had a close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water One day things must get better, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better
The rich is wise in his all conceit But the fool with overstanding search him out Poor man mourn the rich riches increase Be not grieved, riches are not forever Envy not the oppressor chose none of his ways Be not wise in his own eyes Only Jah you must praise Strive not with a man without cause If he have done no harm Let by gone be by gone
Said I had a close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me Said I had a close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water One day things must get better, be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down Keep your head above the water One day things must get better

Circumstances lyrics
Circumstances made me what I am Was I born a violent man Circumstances made me what I am Everyone should understand
Circumstances made me what I am Was I born a violent man Circumstances made me what I am Everyone should know
May sound strange, might sound foolish But things ain't getting better Everyday another fall victim to the beretter Why is there so much violence Killing we one another Let us learn to live and let that light shine brighter Bad influence through influence the youth dem get slaughter As bad as badman use to be Dem respect di father Is like no eyes no realize seh Times get harder Mi talk all night with all mi Might But still is laughter
Circumstances made me what I am Was I born a violent man Circimstances made me what I am And everyone should know
Now, when I try to cope Tell mi self there is hope It seems like the biggest joke Eh eh, And as I put down the gun Still dollars must run All now employment can't come Have mi a jam and a cool Want go back in a school The system lick mi There's no hope for those Who have not from the slum Take di little much we have Still hunting we down I beg unu show some love Unu wi get back some, now
Circumstances made me what I am Was I born a violent man Circimstances made me what I am Every man should know
