Today Patrice lyrics

Chorus:
I will change the world today
I don’t care what the people say
There’s a brighter day to come
Cause I’m a rebell I kill the devil

I was so close to resigning
Saying fuck the world and just move to an island
All of these people seek dem neon enlightments
We are blinded
World leaders too money minded
(But then)
Music is my mission and jah works my assignement
I come from Iceland, Freetown salon, land of diamonds
We’re pushing stones bigger than a girl in the 9th month
See Americans ah turn the world in a timebomb
We ain’t got no hoods, we have real slums
Where ten year olds have you leaving
On two hands with two stumps
And no clothes and no funds
I was deep down in a hole giving up my life once
So insecure I couldn’t even see the sky once
So my energy would grow out of silence
“how you gonna change the world?”-
I will change it with my hands
We haffi response before the rivers run dry
And the stars fall from the sky these days
Love is just a word but I will try and…

Chorus
I will change the world today
I don’t care what the people say
There’s a brighter day to come
Cause I’m a rebel I kill the devil

I will change the world today
I’m gonna pave the way
For a brighter day to come
Cause I’m a rebel I kill the devil

I failed, I lied, betrayed, got played
Was scared, was blind, not straight, had hate
Gone astray, was lost, was vain, loved fame
But my strength of today lays in yesterday’s pain
I stole, was sold, was bold, I chilled
I killed, I fell, I rose, you know
I’ve lost a fight before
But I won’t lose the war

Chorus

This ain’t about the bad ones
It’s about the one who no care
Who’s too fat to be bothered
Too lazy and scared
To whom changing this world
Would mean send his world to hell
And destroy an illusion
That served him so well
Good things never come easy
Start with reflection of self
To some this might sound cheesy
But the truth afi tell
Some caught up in survival
Think it’s them that need help
You never know that material
Could never be wealth

Chorus

Africanize Dem   Patrice lyrics

From you're scared and soft and don't have no love inside you
From you feel ashamed ‘cause I’n’I identify you
You have been found
Pick you off the ground
I’ll dry your tears
Our kingdom is near
Come on now
You have been found
Pick you off the ground
I’ll dry your tears
Our kingdom is near

Chorus:
Mi come fi africanize dem
With di drumbeat again
Come fi africanize dem
With die drumbeat again

Let di communicators deal with di matter
Crank up di bass so di tune can get fatter
Got a choir fi bun di hotta fire
I choose music ‘cause I’m tired
‘cause music got die power
to unite who was scattered
to rise di hearts and minds of di ones ina di gutter
di genesis of sound di talking
and di chemistry between words
is what only by your soul can be heard
mi go so uh uh … uh uh (what you got there?)

Chorus:
Mi come fi africanize dem

With di mark ah Patrice

I know that you can feel this ‘cause it’s in you
This goes from me to you
And now it must continue
Cause we have been found
Picked off the ground
I’ll dry your tears
Our kingdom is near
Come on now
You have been found
Pick you off the ground
I’ll dry your tears
Our kingdom is near

Chorus

Soul Storm Patrice lyrics

verse
now we're walking down an alley
now i'm talking spiritually
we got one eye on the future
and the other on our money
and all our feeling goes dead
when we switch on that channel
so over fed with the terrible flannel
try to switch off my head
use my soul indtead
so i'll get ahead of these things
i said

chorus
there's a soul
soul
a soulstorm everywhere
it's a everywhere
everywhere
a soulstorm everywhere

verse
i was thought that talk is cheap
and i have learned that love is deep
god gave me my soul to keep
so i talk love a whole big heap
and i will not point a finger
for it is timeless and will linger
i keep my own words down so i won't drown
repeat one more time and don't hinder

chorus

verse
some people might be wondering
is his head in the clouds and no ground under him
what the so and so's he on about
so i'll just break it down down (no doubt)
i got up out of bed one misty morning
found myself sitting there and brainstorming
about how to be true without being corny
had to do some soulstorming
must be the benefit of the global warming
i realised that there ain't no harm in
planting soul and a little farming
do some soul farming
soul...

chorus

It Hurts To Be Alone Patrice lyrics

After he breaks your heart
Then you’ll be sad
And your teardrops start
Then you’re defeated
By your own weapon

Just because
You think that you’re so smart
Goin’ around breakin' lover’s hearts
Then you will know
How it hurts to be alone

--------------------------------

Only Believers Patrice lyrics

So cool, so high…
only believers in death will die

chorus
cooler than cool
higher than high
colder than cold

verse
when we’re movin’ we are movin’ hardcore
we ah kick in the door with bum tune galore
ever livin’ ever faithful ever sure
people out there look bored

when the others are down
the last women and men
defending the crown
we are cooler than cool
and higher than high
flyer than fireflies

chorus

verse
we’re keepin’ it so cold
no singers are dead, don’t have no soul
nuff people out there are just so bold
they don’t have no class and no style
and the way that dem dress is a no no no
they don’t even play music no more
the band dem ah sound like dem solo
recyclin’ and bitin’ and fussin’ and fightin’
just pull up just pull up and hold on
uh uh uh uh uh we’re cruisin’ on Zion altitude

Uncried Patrice lyrics

I love you, why can’t love be enough?
you must hate me for what I’ve done to our love
what have I done to our love?
what have I done?
even though I smile so
my tears drop inside in a black hole
not even fears fill this void
how long does a tear take
from my eye to the ground
if not our lifetime
gotta turn myself upside down
and make it uncried (make it undone)
I gotta make it uncried (make it undone)

where are we heading? your left is my right
we’re in a dead end, hopin’ that I see the light
I broke the purest heart like a virgin skin
so innocent and free from sin
gotta turn myself in (make it undone)
I gotta turn myself in (make it undone)

I gotta turn myself in yeah
and there ain’t got no place to run
I gotta turn myself in yeah
and there ain’t got nowhere to run to…

--------------------------------

Rememba Patrice lyrics

verse
this city ain’t for the livin’
it is for the dead
and this place ain’t for the givin’
it’s for the ones that take
nine to five twenty four seven
everyday’s the same
don’t wanna die this way
I wanna fly away
the meter ah run
and soon we gotta pay
there’s a traffic jam
on the fast lane
if I could I woulda run
but I’m too far away
Mystery Babylon get off my brain
you’re callin’ this freedom
tru’ you no see no chains
look what I’ve become
- a stranger to myself
I can’t think straight
let me hear you if you feel the same

chorus
gotta rememba
the dreams we used to have
gotta rememba
things used to be so simple then
gotta rememba
rememba and learn
and never surrender (never surrender)
this is my life my only turn

verse
when you meet the King of Kings
will it matter then?
all your dimond rings
will they matter then?
when we get an inch
we take a mile my friend
tell me what are you respected for?
you think you got a lot of game (yau)
nuff people once were black
and now them no black again
reachin’ out to all the rude boys
and the shotter them
reachin’ out to all the good girls
and the hooker them
from those that push afros
down to the red neck cracker them
from the highest of uptown
down to the gutter them
from those that love black music
down to the rocker them
(“he tried to kill my daddy”)
not again!

chorus

gotta rememba
…yes I gotta yes you gotta yes we gotta…
…babatunde ina di place, shashamani ina di place yagaya
don’t just stand there ana gaze…

Victoriously Patrice lyrics

chorus
thought I’d never find you
there ain’t no one like you
I put my love inside you
there ain’t no one like you

verse
tomorrow’s kiss won’t feel the way it feels today
tomorrow’s wish will miss these lips feeling the same
tomorrow’s touch won’t be touching you quite this way
don’t play hate
tomorrow I’ll be telling you all of this once again
“but usually” – I don’t care ‘bout usually
today is different ‘cause today it’s you and me
it feel’ so good to loose victoriously”
come speak with me…victoriously

chorus

verse
nobody knows what tomorrow holds for us
should live today like this day could be our last, plus –
before this touch before this grasp becomes the past
it is a must – to feel this fully
one day you might say I repeat myself that’s true
when that day arrive’ I’ll come up with something new
but for today this ya one will do
don’t care ‘bout then just wanna be with you – right now

chorus

verse
we link up from before we link up ina flesh
I’m sinking syncopating while I synch up with your breath
kinkydelic visions years turn month then weeks then minutes
then moments then indefinite then infinite – come again
come sink with me to the city under the sea
so deep under the waters where time is standing still
we chill and take a rest from life’s troubles and life’s stress
a place where no equals yes
see who my eyes reflect!?

chorus

--------------------------------

Have U Seen It Patrice lyrics

verse
at their tables
families sit around and air their feelings
at their tables
taking daily sustinence
watching tv spewing forward with the awful dealings
they caress us with their damning evidence

chorus
tell me have you seen it
have you seen the news today
‘coz we best believe it
there must be another way
there is no mistaking
all the suffering we see there
even though we fake it
still deep inside we care

verse
when I see the waring everywhere
unfortunately
it makes me cry to be a world wide resident
it’s their love of glory

and your lack of overstanding yeah
so please change your thinking there
behind the president

chorus

bridge
why complain
you look OK
and you can pay it off
you’re free of stains
can get no blame
till you have had enough
move smooth these days
your dollars pay
to cut the pain right out
your groove it plays
the ghetto way
no you don’t have no doubt

chorus

--------------------------------

Be Your Man Patrice lyrics

Chorus
from within my heart
i hear you talk'
words of truth
words of life
and then words of love
as i denied myself
i nednied you as well
but here i am not to run but to be your ..
verse
..man, all the time
all the way by your side
and when the road gehts ruff
i will try
I'm tellin' you as plain and as simple as i can
that i care 'bout YOU (say)
Chorus
what is good for me
should be good for you
if this love is true
that's what it's supposed to do
what is good for you
should be good for me
if this love is real
that's how it's supposed to be

verse
i want the faith of a child that's not afraid of a thing
where to run where to hide when i can feel you within
wanna be the way that i've been before i lost innocence
'cause when i was innocent i was a king (yau yau)
they say you can't direct love's course
but if love finds you worthy
it will direct yours
why did love have to curse me?
Nomore i wanna have to
do what i got to
love never shot me with no arrow
this is a 45 Magnum
.... all the time
I'm tellin you as ? Plain and as simple as i can't that i
care 'bout your

bridge
you can extinguish a fire but you can't put out the
fire of the sun

because as day reclaims his throne night will bow
and kneel down
ooohh hear my song
