Rebel
music (3 O'clock roadblock)
I, rebel music I, rebel music Why
can't we roam this open country Oh why can't we be what we want to be We
want to be free
3 o'clock - roadblock, curfew And I've got to throw
away Yes I've got to throw away Yes I've got to throw away My little
herb stalk
I, rebel music I, rebel music
Take my soul and suss
me out Check my life if I am in doubt 3 o'clock - roadblock And hey Mr.
Cop, ain't got no (What you say down there) Ain't got no birth certificate
on me now
I, rebel music I, rebel music Take my soul and suss me
out Check my life if I am in doubt 3 o'clock - roadblock And hey Mr.
Cop, ain't got no (What you say down there) Ain't got no birth certificate
on me now.
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world now (repeat) Bless my eyes this
morning JAH sun is on the rise once again The way earthly things are
going Anything can happen
You see men sailing on their ego
trips Blast off on their spaceships Million miles from reality No care
for you, no care for me So much trouble in the world now (repeat) All
you've got to do is give a little Give a little, give a little One more
time ye-a-h! ye-ah!
So you think you have found the solution But it's
just another illusion So before you check out your tide Don't leave
another cornerstone standing there behind We have got to face the day, ooh we
come what may We the street people talking, we the people
struggling
Now they are sitting on a time bomb Now I now the time has
come What goes up must come down Goes around comes around So much
trouble in the world So much trouble in the world So much trouble in the
world There is so much trouble, there is so much trouble There is so much
trouble There is so much trouble in the world There is so much trouble in
the world
Them belly full ( but we hungry )
Them belly full but we hungry A hungry mob is an angry
mob A rain a fall but the dirt it tough A pot a cook but the food no
'nough
You're gonna dance to jah music, dance, We're gonna dance to
jah music, dance,
Forget your troubles and dance, Forget your sorrows
and dance, Forget your sickness and dance, Forget your weakness and
dance
Cost of livin' gets so high Rich and poor they start to
cry Now the weak must get strong They say oh, what a tribulation Them
belly full but we hungry A hungry mob is an angry mob A rain a fall but
the dirt it tough A pot a cook but you no 'nough
We're gonna chuck to
jah music chuckin' We're chuckin' to jah music, we're chuckin'
Belly
full but them hungry. A hungry mob is an angry mob A rain a fall but the
dirt it tough A pot a cook but the food no 'nough A hungry mob is an angry
mob

Oh it's a disgrace to see the Human-race in a rat race,
rat race You got the horse race You got the dog race You got the
human-race But this is a rat race, rat race
War
What life has taught me I would like to share
with Those who want to learn...
Until the philosophy which hold one
race Superior and another inferior Is finally and permanently discredited
and abandoned Everywhere is war, me say war
That until there are no
longer first class And second class citizens of any nation Until the
colour of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the colour of his
eyes Me say war
That until the basic human rights are
equally Guaranteed to all, without regard to race Dis a war
That
until that day The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship Rule of
international morality Will remain in but a fleeting illusion To be
persued, but never attained Now everywhere is war, war
And until the
ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in
Mozambique, South Africa sub-human bondage Have been toppled, utterly
destroyed Well, everywhere is war, me say war
War in the east, war in
the west War up north, war down south War, war, rumours of war
And
until that day, the African continent Will not know peace, we Africans will
fight We find it necessary and we know we shall win As we are confident in
the victory
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil Good
over evil, good over evil, good over evil

Slave driver the table is turned Catch a fire so you can get
burned Slave driver the table is turned Catch a fire you're gonna get

cold
I remember on the slave ship How they brutalised their very
souls Today they say that we are free Only to be chained in
poverty

makes money Slave driver the table is turned Oh

tomorrow Natty Dread rides again Having no fear, having no
sorrow
All and all you see a Gwan Is to fight against Rastaman So
they build their world In great confusion To force on us the devil's
illusion But the stone that the builder refuse Shall be the head
cornerstone And no matter what games they play There is something they
could never take away Something they could never take away It's the fire,
it's the fire, fire Burning down everything Feel that fire, fire, the
fire, the fire Only the birds have wings No time to be deceived You
