Sneakers  Patrice lyrics

Verse 1
What lives in you lives in me has always been will always be
Yeah were free like the breeze um they couldn’t fuck with Patrice
Yo the world is rotten from top to bottom the devil comes down
yeah frequently to go soul shopping
What we know we have forgotten
it takes a second to kill what it took a generation to build
Well this will rise and this won’t drop
and this will move and this wont stop
Cos this is real and this is true and this is me and this is you

Chorus
look at my sneakers to judger me
I’ll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy
But they could never touch me

look at my sneakers to judger me
I’ll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy
But they could never touch me

Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa..

Verse 2
The military didn’t want me
they said I couldn’t deal with authority
They guy took a look said I was a crook
Looked at my face looked at my waist
Looked at my shoes looked at my hat
said that boy means trouble that boy is bad
They kicked me out of the boarding school cos be burned up mi room
The fire we mi a burn so big it did a kill dem wid the fumes!
When me at the club me they see me in VIP
anywhere I go I need to bring my I.D
At my own gigs their messing with me
just the other day I had a fight with my own security!
when I’m on the train they check up on me
when I’m on the plane they check up on me
when I’m at the border they dig up my laundry
they say I’ve got that look like I’m from the middle east

chorus
look at my sneakers to judger me
I’ll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy
But they could never touch me

Look at his sneakers to judge him he leaves them speechless and dodgy
They say thast niggaz too foxy but they could never get dodgy
Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa..

Rap
They see that bling but I do my thing but the sound wing cos their shit sounds so thin
Now there in but trends change like the wind when I step up then judgement begins

I want to hear my echoe from up town down to the ghetto
From Adis Ababa straight down to Soweto
Me say echoe…….they say my lyric dem too dark so let me say them in falsetto

Me say who are you to tell me the fuck to tell me what to do
Coming out of the blue with your tie and your shoe
Me say who tell me tell me who the fuck are you
Instead of looking at my eyes you be looking at my shoes

Chorus
look at my sneakers to judger me
I’ll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy
But they could never get touchy

Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa..

(Look at his sneakers to judge him he leaves them speechless and dodgy
They say thast niggaz too foxy but they could never touch me)

Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa..

(look at my sneakers to judger me I’ll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy But they could never touch me)

Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa

Where Do We Go Wrong Patrice lyrics

INTRO
Me and peeps we be cruising on
Merkaba Internal keep blusing on
Shashamani will never be cooling down
we’re moving on

1ST VERSE
assume in different ways
that what we feel today
when we see the children play
they are not afraid
of anything
they know something
are you feeling what I say
in my very different way
I am so afraid
Oh yeah
Today
Of everything

CHORUS
Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top
Where do we go wrong
They be forever preaching
Never see them laughing
Again
But we never stop

2ND VERSE
I have an axe to grind
Our world is in a bind
The dollars make us blind
All the time
Oh my
To everything
And another thing
don’t tell me that is this
don’t tell me this is that
I know just where you’re at
Just relax
That’s just not my thing
Oh give me peace
‘coz Jah has release

CHORUS
Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top
Where do we go wrong
They be forever preaching
Never see them laughing
Again
But we will never stop
Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top

BRIDGE
Battered and beleaguered
Was the case
As we were firmly
Put in our place self deprecating
What a waste it was never ending
So hard they chased

RAP
It’s all about the energy
You’re sending me
When a penni
You ah penni me
So you’re telling me
That that food
That you’re selling
Me is so
But I’m telling you
It’s killing me

CHORUS
Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top
Where do we go wrong
They be forever preaching
Never see them laughing
Again

Up In My Room Patrice lyrics

(CHORUS)

When I’m up in my room (and I’m thinking of you)
And I’m thinking of you (when I’m up in my room)
I’m just finding my way through this sinister day
just let the music play

Verse 1

Emancipating my heart
from Hollywood love
too many people got caught.
Emancipating my mind from a system designed (yeah)
to limit mankind
but I leave that behind.

CHORUS

Verse 2

Let’s build a house on the beach
plant a family tree
and live in harmony
Only in love we are free
that’s why I’m down on my knees (yeah)
to make you my queen
My mind and heart are making peace
Didn’t come here to please
nobody but Jah
let my colours increase
Let us run to the east
let us look for the keys
that can open the rooms
Yo! Check out Patrice

CHORUS

The ground shakes under my feet
oh this feeling so sweet
won’t you dance with me?

Bridge

We all want love and happiness
as long as there is heart within our chest,
believe in your self and love will do the rest
we have to manifest.
Some want to understand
Some overstand
Some want to live some want to be lived by them
For all those that don’t know what I’m saying
let me break it down again.

CHORUS

The ground shakes under my feet
oh this feeling so sweet
won’t you dance with me?

Repeat til end

How Do You Call It Patrice lyrics

(Love love love love love love)

CHORUS
How do you call it when autumn leaves keep falling?
Tell me how do you mean it?
You think I was dreaming not feeling.
I was feeling for you as I was falling for you.

(Say) I need your love so bad
you make me feel so close to God.
You deal with the truth of the heart (yeah)
and you have so much of that.
Tell me what do we have but love (yeah)
there's nothing much I could think of.
You run from love like you're in a rush.
But anything love builds your doubts will crush

CHORUS

Ohhh ohhh

(Say) girl you have those eyes
I'd do anything for you if they cried.
Even when you curse
I love to watch your lips building bad words.
When ever we be talking on the phone
I just love to hear your tone
even silence sounds good with you
(Say) girl you have so much soul.

CHORUS

How do you call it?
How do you mean it? (how do you mean it?)
I was feeling (I was feeling)
As I was falling (I was falling)

I was feeling for you,as I was falling for you, my soul was crying for you, as I was dying for you as l was falling for you (rpt)
CHORUS

Music Patrice lyrics

When my feet were in shackles
And my hands were in chains
You took my mind and made it settle
In a land so far away

When I was toiling in the fields (yeah)
You made me push on through
Yes I'm head over heels,
Over heels in love with you
Yes I'm head over heels,
Over heels in love with you

When I was in the womb
You made me wanna see this world
Every setting of the moon
I dreamt of you being my girl

Say ooh I can't deny
Without you I would be dead
And the day that I die
I die with you in my head,
Yes the day that I die
I die with you in my head,
In my head in my head

chorus1:

There's just no get away
When you're dancing in my brain
When I'm cruising on your waves
Coulda never go astray (ooh)
Repeat chorus

Everything is music
I just put parts in a frame
To capture this very moment
And never let it go away
They use you and abuse you
And treat you like a thing
Forever I'll be faithful
have your back untill the end
Forever I'll be faithful
have your back untill the end

chorus 2:

Though I Knew Patrice lyrics

CHORUS
I thought I knew what love is
but now I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this.
I thought I knew
what love is,
I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this, now I know what love is.

I found beauty in the poorest of places,
while in the rich world there was none of it to find.
Born and raised in the desert your voice was my oasis,
you where like waterwhen my cup was running dry.
In my darkest hour you would shine right in my face yes.
When I was down and blue through you my hopes were raised.
Yes In my prayers I givethanks
and I give praises for you, baby you, baby you

CHORUS
I thought I knew what love is
but now I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this.
I thought I knew
what love is,
I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this, now I know what love is.

Life is blazing you're amazing moon bathing
on the pavement in your arms I find my peace of mind.
As paradise was civilized and paralized superflys
with 7 lives were televised as heaven crys these lullabies.
Well it's venus between us seniors team up with deamons.
Them fight the wars we bear the scars,
mess up the earth and leave tomars.
This is higher than any mountain greater
than the universe deeper than eternity
your gravity is grounding me.
And I take you on morning rides,
yes I take you on evening rides,
yes we will ridethe storms and tides,
through the night through the night,
through the night

CHORUS
I thought I knew what love is
but now I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this.
I thought I knew
what love is,
I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this, now I know what love is

Sunshine Patrice lyrics

And when I feel
life's heavy labours calling.
I make my self
light aslight
I think of things
as they come to me
without warning
A train of thoughts passing through on the tracks

CHORUS

Sunshine
we be cruising,
it's in our music
that's where the truth is
cos we have done
that cos we haven't been there
I wanna go there
cos we will run that,
I wanna go for real

See the sun shine
in winter time see snow falling in summer time
it's all crazy like our minds
all this anger makes us blind.
For all these poisons that are mine
I know I can not rewind
as I struggle to be more kind
As the train lies
and I mess around
I'm so young but not without a sound,
been seen double,keeping me down
I fiddle with a thought
But not without a sound

CHORUS

(I wanna feel it,
I wanna be there,
I want you to feel it,
the way that I feel it.
Don't you conceal it,
come on reveal it,
you better kiss me
you better love your self.)

My body and your body
can fuse into one
shadow on the wall.
Your body and my body
produce somebody
a soundbody.
Just look what we conjured
out of nowhere like the notes
that thrill the air

CHORUS

(I wanna feel it,
I wanna be there,
I want you to feel it,
the waythat I feel it.
Don't you conceal it,
come on reveal it,
you better kiss me
you better love your self)

Seasons Patrice lyrics

CHORUS:

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

But it is cold so cold
and clouds burry us like snow.
We were so bold to hold
on to love like gold.
And it's so beautiful
when ever nature does her thing;
oh it's so beautiful
just like a queen and a king.
And the rain yes the rain
couldn't wash away my blame,
yes the rain ah the rain
couldn't wash away my blame

CHORUS:

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

But life's a circle
and we are in it
some wait for miracles
we push the limits.
Through ups and downs,
hills and valleys
I have travelled
and I'm farfrom finished.
I keep it moving ,
keep it spinning,
see I wouldn't be me today
if it wasn't for the shit I've been in.
Can't be losing everwinning
don't get caught up in winter take it back to the beginning

CHORUS:

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

the right road is rocky (raggy) and the hill is steep.
If you forget to fast and neglect the past will you find your peace

CHORUS:

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

Tell me is it dem or is it me.
Is it the bird wha’ deh ina di tree

No it’s none of dem deh things indeed,
It’s rather fi dem Babylon technology.
Ah rather dem sky scrapers and fi dem streets
Ah the nerve centres of fi dem cities,
where mind-slaves ah run tings fi we

But Patrice Lumumba na go rest in peace,
Steven Biko na go rest in peace,
Kwame Nkrumah na go rest in peace,
Marcus Garvey na go rest in peace,
Malcolm X ‘im na go rest in peace
Mahatma Gandhi na go rest in peace
burying their bodies was like burying seeds
Ina fi we babies I can see dem creep,
Ina fi we mothers I can hear them weep
Out of the mouths of the sufferers I can hear them scream.
Hear dem scream!

Chorus

Say Jah Jah deh deh

The things wha’ you a show end up showing in you
any time you a fling a stone it end up hitting you.
The things wha’ you possess end up possessing you
you claim seh you a progress
but you na progress fi true.
You claim seh you are so blessed

Household Patrice lyrics

1st VERSE
You see a million uses
In each household that you see yes
No matter how obtuse it is
Need to get all the vagaries
Think it over now
‘coz it ain’t all the no-how

been a revolution
in this tidy life of mind
and there’s no institution
could fight the old divine

BRIDGE
You don’t wanna rise
Because you’re scared of falling
Perfer to remain down
With you feet stuck to the ground

CHORUS
Pull you into places
Where you don’t belong
Into spaces
Where you don’t come from
Isn’t it amazing
The way we carry on
Try to leave traces
When we are gone

2nd VERSE
The fickle man’s feet
Are fancy free
But that quick buzz
It ain’t for me
And there ain’t a man’s feast
That’s for free
And that’s because
I believe
That I’ve seen all the fruit
And you’ve seen me
And I know that I’ve been
And I feel weak

Pull you into places
Where you don’t belong
In spaces
Where you don’t come from
Isn’t it amazing
The way we carry on
Try to leave traces
When we are gone

BRIDGE
You don’t wanna rise
Because you’re scared of falling
Prefer to remain down
With your feet stuck in the ground
But what if the ground you’re
Standing on starts falling?
You disappear
Without a sound

Pull you into places
Where you don’t belong
Into spaces
Where you don’t come from
Isn’t amazing
The way we carry on
Try to leave traces
When we are gone

Scared Patrice lyrics

Them have them house
and them have them car
their lives are safe
and secure
even have a penny
for the poor
but against themselves
them ah fight a war
they put a number
on every arm
of every baby that's
just been born
and when we have to go
they put that same
number on your toe

bridge:
because them scared
you know them scared
I said them scared
you know them scared
I said them scared
you know them scared
this is so weird

chorus:
and again, again, yeah, again
and again, again, again, yeah again
and again, again, again, yeah again
and again, again, again

them have them rules
and them have them laws
for every itch
they've got
an extra cloth
how can airplanes
crush a dream
things aren't quite
what they seem to be
but who's there
to take the blame, yeah
when this world
goes up in flames
he who is god fearing
will remain
well, I say rain, rain
let's pray for rain

bridge

chorus

we're scared of
what we don't know
scared of every breeze
and change that blows
we have our ways and
we have our roads
feel save as long as
our hearts are closed
but we've gotta move on
move on
move on off
where your fear
you fear
you put your love
love

chorus 2x

boom

bridge
