to stop the power No way they can I got the power to move you
I got
the power to move ya JAH got the power to move ya Now I say things happen
just like that When music play who knows what step will drop Can you feel
if it's creeping up on you It's gonna get you berfore you know what to
do Turn you inside out Make you scream and shout The vibe is
building Crazy reggae rhythm
I got the power to move you I got the
power to move ya JAH got the power to move ya JAH got the power to move
ya
So don't you try to sotp What you feel inside When we hit that
spot We tell ya world collide Some people try to stick TO what they
know outside Acting like a programmed chip We tell them free they
mind
I got the power to move you I got the power to move ya JAH got
the power to move ya JAH got the power to move ya

Free Like We Want 2 B
Free like we want to be Some time you want to get off Leave the work
and take off But the boss man say you gonna lose you pay No chain on your
feet now 9 to 5 got you beat now You working hard to save Inflation
like a tidal wave
Are we free like we want to be Tell me are we free
like we want to be Are we free like we want to be Tell me are we free like
we want to be
Racist get defeat Black Man vote and take you
seat Now them think we gonna quiet Maybe we start a riot Whan happen to
the diamond they stole The innocent blood run cold Do we still have to
live in poverty Now they say we're free to be poor But are we free like we
want to be Black Man are we free like we want to be
Tell me are we
free like want to be Are you free are you free Kept in emotion Will
cause an explosion Let your love go Let me know Some people
expect That's not what them get Become no slave Of them evil and wicked
ways
Are we free like we want to be Are we free like we want to
be Are you free like you want to be Are we free like we want to
be
Can't walk the streets late at night Without fear of
parasite Everyone has a inborn right A inborn right to live Who gave us
the reason to fight By promoting negative vibes Who taught us of drugs and
crime Now they say we're free to homicide Committing geoncide We freely
homicide committing genocide
Man we free like we want to be Black Man
we free like we want to be Tell me we free like we want to be Are you free
like you want to be We want to be free Free like we want to
be

told Dem says Rasta did this and this What is the politican role Is it
to create conflicts
But water and oil can't mix Water and oil don't

Jah who I praise break your silence Now that the
wicked is accusing Attacking for no reason All we did was pray for
them Now the way things happen fast Some things me naah go member But
the day did cool cool and collective lya Nest thing me know some unwanted
visitors Some devil worshipping Rasta hating cold-blooded murdera Never

Hear this! This is
Ragamuffin and him hitting harder We get up from weh we sit down to a
strategic corner Me and the bwoy dem eye mek four me mek a nervous
swallow Prip around from left to right me look pon all me brother Hold me
head to the sky and make a final prayer Zoom! zoom! And everything take
cover Look how fast lightning rod back out in all a dem face Quick! Me
back out me no member wha it name Them enver know the youth them would not
lose them faith Through the grace of the Father everything set
straight Water and oil can't mix

Live It Up
If life means what it means to me Happiness come from the way we
live Not the money we receive 'Cause even the poor man is rich Love in
our hearts Health strength and longevity

If right means what it means to me Before
words were spoken JAH law was written within IF right means what it means
to you What the preacher say is not what the prach do
Live it

Life for me life for you

Seven richest countries in the world Them have a little meeting Them a
plan to keep and oppress the poor So them have a little meeting But when
them think then thing goes another way Yes when them think then thing goes
another way
Did you hear about these meetings No you won't find poor
countries there Because of capitalist greed Revolution seem to be the only
way It may be an old fashion way of thinking But I believe in the people
and these aims
'Cause when them think then things go the people
way One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh When them think then things go the
the people way One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
These countries want
to stay on top So they'll find any way To them third world people life is
but a small price to be paid They think they're great feeling no one can
touch them Well them have a next thing comin'
'Cause when them think
then things go the people way One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh Oh when
them think then thing goes another way One day dem deh deh dem no deh
deh
Seven richest things in the world What do they do for the
people Look at America the so-called best How many homeless Where the
money went In the sky on weapons of death WHy don't they write the needy
some more checks
'Cause when them think then thing goes another
way One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh When them think then things go the
the people way One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh

Beautiful Mother Nature
Beautiful Mother Nature She looked at me with a smile on her face Then
she started to cry She said why did my children forsake me
She felt
like she was dying Oh ungrateful children When she was young she was
beautiful and strong The more children se had the more things went
wrong Now she's feeling old and cold And her heart doesn't feel love
anymore
Beautiful Mother Nature She sat me down and told me to sing
her a song Maybe it would make her feel better Maybe her children would
sing along
And see the wrong we have done Make amends to mend her
heart She still wouldn't hate none of her children No matter what cruel
things they've done She'll always be there when her babies are
crying She's a mother a mother you can depend on
Beautiful Mother
Nature She's hoping her children will love her again Like once she
remember Before skyscrapers and chemical plants When she was all that we
had Before they polluted her sacred land Now her tears are falling like
acid rain And her voice sounds like earthquake
I had to beg her Mother
please don't leave Give another chance I'll take to the kids Beautiful
Mother Nature She was my Beautiful Mother Nature Still is
my Beautiful Mother Nature She is my Beautiful Mother Nature Still
is my
