Conscious Party

Everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
And I know there'll be no fight
In such a Conscious Party

Everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
And I know there'll be no fight
In such a Conscious Party

No booze to lick our head
Now we can't lose in life way
No booze to lick our head
Got to stay a light in darkness
And everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
But not because of the world
And I know there'll be no fight
In such a Conscious Party

Spirit of Jah passes through
I can feel him, so can you! Yeah
Makes one want to get up and dance
I said we're jammin' on this love and chant
Everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
But it's not because of the world
And I know there'll be no fight
In such a Conscious Party

Everyone, and Jah-a-everyone

I get smiles of Happiness
Jahlification a dances
Brothers loving their sisters...
Sisters loving their brothers

Everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
And I know there'll be no fight
In such a Conscious Party

Everyone is happy tonight
But not because of your world
And how could there be any fight
In such a Conscious Party
Everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
And how could there be any fight
In such a Conscious Party?

No booze to lick our head
Now we can't lose in life way
No booze to lick our head
Got to stay a light in darkness
And everyone is happy tonight
But not because of the world
It's not because of the world
And I know there'll be no fight
In such a Conscious Party

The heat is on so arm your soul
The heat is on so arm your soul
The heat is on so arm your soul
...Guiltiness...
...Lord Knows!...Guilty ones!

Have you ever been to hell?
Have you ever been to hell?
Have you ever been to hell and hell again? Guilty ones!
Have you ever been to hell?
Have you ever been to hell?
Have you ever been to hell and hell again?

Don't you know
Is there vanity
And inhumanity?
Cries from the guilty sayin'
Who's gonna save you soul?
Why didn't you give to the poor
Now you got to cry
Oh guity! And tell me

Have you ever been to hell?
Have you ever been to hell, blasphemers!
Have you ever been to hell and hell again (oh)?
Have you ever been to hell murderers!
Have you ever been to hell guilty ones!
Have you ever been to hell and hell again

So y'know you could tried some more
Like you never tried before
Got to get out of a ditch
We've got to remember
Earth conquers bone

Yes man's got to make the switch
So, have you ever been to hell?
Have you ever been to hell guilty one!
Have you ever been to hell again? Liars!
Have you ever been to hell pushers?
Now, have you ever been to hell?

Souldds are bought and sold
Cause for so much woes
The strain never ends
Sister, if you haven't been there
Don't wish to go! (Never)
It's not like a duppy show! (No no no)

Have you ever been to hell? Guilty ones!
Have you ever been to hell murderers!
Have you ever been to hell again arm your souls
Have you ever been to hell tell
Have you ever been to hell not o well!
Have you ever been to hell and hell and hell and hell

I'm gonna arm my soul
We got to arm our souls
Heed the warning
Satan!

Have you ever been?
have you ever been y'all
Have you been
Have you ever been now
So have you been
Ever ben to hell and hell, and hell

Guilty ones, murderers, top notch
Have you ever been
Said I never been, never ever been

We Propose

Callin' callin' callin'
Warnin' warnin' warnin'

We propose to live up our life
We propose to do waht is right
We propose to free our people
We propose to live in Africa

This mess, yes we detest
Controlled by another hand
They're puppets, they're just some puppets
their thing's just a puppet show

So we propose all people be free
We propose equality for you and me
We propose politicans know this
We propose united (so)

You confess to your wickedness (I said)
The people already know
Protest is not enough
For the blood that flows (that's why)

We propose to be freedom fighters
We propose because we are all nighters
We propose to lick them down
We propose to free Africa

Yes, it's very serious, not delirious
The things that we say
Now let me hear the music sound
For sure we're gonna stick around

We propose...
We propose all people must be free
We propose let music be free
We propose we're gonna do what is right (whoa)

This is not a request
We propose ghetto youth live right
We propose stop fight
We propose politicnas learn this right now
We propose free Africa

'Cause we're tired of talkin'...listen to the people
Tired of balkin'...this is not a request
Tired of gamin'...listen to the people
Tired of playin'...listen to the people

We propose politicans learn, learn, learn
We propose warmongers learn, learn, learn
We propose fascists learn, learn, learn
Open your ears...listen to the people

We propose...
No one is perfect in this un-perfect world

What's True

There are many stories (2 many)
Both old and new
What is true? (too too true, what is true?)
There are many stories (3 many)
Both old and new
What is true? (what's true, what's true, what's true)

Christopher Columbus discovered whom? (uh-uh)
If their leader is closer to God (who? who?)
Who is for who?
Are they doing the right thing
For who? for who? for who?

There are many stories
Both old and new
What is true?
There are many stories
Both old and new
What is true?

So men say they're doing their best
To put the people on the line
They say we're linin' in their time
Not true not true not true

There are many stories
Both old and new
What is true?
There are many stories
Both old and new
What is true?

Did you know the name of the slave ship
That carried us through and through?
Did you know they change things?
But they can't change me or you


There are many stories
Both old and new
What is true?
There are many stories
Both old and new
What is true?

Dreams of Home

We're having dreams of home
And you know we're not alone
Dreams of home
And I know we're not alone

Look how long we've been away
How long are we going to stay?
Look how long we've been away from home
How long are we going to roam?

Dreams of home
And I know we're not alone
Having dreams, having visions
Having dreams, having visions
Why can't we people see
Why can't we people see
This is not where we belong?
And there is a holy land

Dreams of home
Having dreams, having visions
This ain't no fantasy
Prophecy
Ain't nothin' strange
Life must be rearranged

Dreams of home
And I know we're not alone

And if you don't believe
I wish you well, I wish you well
And if you don't believe
I wish you well, I wish you well
