Confrontation Lyrics
Mr. President, Distinguished Delegates...
H.I.M Haile Selassie: (SPEAKS IN ETHIOPIAN LANGUAGE)
Bunny Wailer Dialogue:
Since the beginning of modern civilization/ generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars/ but behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride/ then shall the earth's children know the true epression of ONE LOVE, then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace. Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars...SELAH!
VERS:
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors and/ propoganda spreading inna the sunday papers not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause/ Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze, ya/ and Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehourse/ and gi dem a uniform and shave dem head with razors/ and now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed cause/ inna dem churches tryin to save...saviours/
Garvey Dialogue:
Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it!/
Damian Marley:

Garvey:
if you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will die. You race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for nothings, if you cannot do what other men have done, what other nations have done, what other races have done, then you yourself shall die.
Repeat Verse:

Damian Marley:

Garvey:

Welcome To Jamrock Lyrics
[Intro] Out in the streets, they call it murder!
[Verse 1] Welcome to Jamrock, camp where the thugs dem camp at Two pounds a weed inna van back It inna u handbag, u knapsack, it inna u backpack The smell a give your girlfriend contact Some boy nuh know this, dem only come around like tourist On the beach with a few club sodas Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris And dem don't know the real hardcore Cause Sandals a nuh Back-to, the thugs dem have do what dem got to And won't think twice to shot you Don't make them spot you, unless you carry guns a lot too A pure tuff things come at you
When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block-off traffic Then dem wheel and pop off and them start clap it With the pin file dung and it a beat rapid Police come inna jeep and them cant stop it Some say dem a playboy (dem) a playboy rabbit Funnyman a get dropped like a bad habit So don't bother pose up if you don't have it Rastafari stands alone!
[Chorus] Welcome to Jamrock, Welcome to Jamrock Out in the streets, they call it murder!
[Verse 2] Welcome to Jungle, poor people a dead at random Political violence, caan dun! Pure ghost and phantom, the youth them get blind by stardom Now the King Of Kings a call old man to Pickney, so wave unnu hand if you with me To see the sufferation sick me Them suit no fit me, to win election them trick we And they don't do nuttin at all
Come on let's face it, a ghetto education's basic And most a the youths dem waste it And when they waste it, that's when dem mek the guns replace it Then dem don't stand a chance at all And that's why a nuff little youth have up some fat matic With the extra magazine inna them back pocket And a bleach a night time inna some black jacket All who not lock glocks, them a lock rocket Them will full you up a current like a short circuit Them a run a roadblock which part the cops block it And from now till a mornin nuh stop clock it If they run outta rounds a bruck-back ratchet
[Chorus] Welcome to Jamrock (Southside, Northside) Welcome to Jamrock (East Coast, West Coast, huh, yo) Welcome to Jamrock (Cornwall, Middlesex,Surrey) Hey! Welcome to Jamrock Out in the streets, they call it murder!!!
[Outro] Jamaica Jamaica! Jamaica Jamaica! Now! Jamaica Jamaica! Yo! Jamaica Jamaica! Welcome to Jamrock, Welcome to Jamrock
The Master Has Come Back Lyrics
A your youth you know! Wew!
For the master has come back, Gong the originally Run for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally For the master has come man, Man! I do it regulary Through every hill and valley, Its normal for me now For the Master has come back, It's Mr Warm and Easy She could never leave me, somebody please believe me For the master has come back, I'm mad wid it!
Boom! We learn from the old school, when strictly thugs used to run it, when one wheel really was the move Long before Bogle start dance and still pon deh paper money, police alock up man fi them shoes That simply mean the station full up a bare Clark boot and bally, from England whe' spankin new Before man start to mek flex, when then used to mek dally, and speak of the rights and truths If unno starvin fi di brain food, man have it fi feed you lke porridge, weh rich inna dreadnut juice Cause nuff a wah dem learn in university and colledge, it water down and dilute, I tell you street smarts wi carry you through life like a carridge From a survival point of view, and if what you seek is the truth and to increase knowledge, now you surely can't loose. . . Why?
For the master has come back, Gong the originally Run for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally For the master has come man, Man! I do it regulary Through every hill and valley, Its normal for me now For the Master has come back, It's Mr Warm and Easy She could never leave me, somebody please believe me For the master has come back, I'm mad wid it!
The return of the dread I when I get back, the entire empire will start to strike back, well a bare army green full up mi flight park Some red eye guy wonder which bank we hijack, and a we the voluptuous girls a smile at, any bwoy nuh like dat Him gone pon ice box, we can be dangerous like how the night black, we will dip and come up Select and slide back, and seh she loves my culture, herbs and my locks, silky smooth way i flow, my words and my tracks She's hoping we can spend a night at, somewhere thats warm and cozy . . . Why not? She's been wanting me since my karl kani drop And she needs the substance, not the hype chat, for dark clouds do bring rain . . . Baby, Here comes the sun to shine again
For the master has come back, Gong the originally Run for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally For the master has come man, Man! I do it regulary Through every hill and valley, Its normal for me now For the Master has come back, It's Mr Warm and Easy She could never leave me, somebody please believe me For the master has come back, I'm mad wid it!
Boom! I know you're loving the goods that i'm delivering, Up in your neck of the woods so you can live again Who is the cock in the coup which part the chicken in, and dem a copy the books that i have written in And when you hear from the shout, dem no have no discipline, and dem a run up dem mouth, them never listening And when the Gong no deh bout, I know you're missing him, cause lyrically no doubt I'm nitroglycerin Mi touch down it's carousels of luggages, my flip phone, my car cell, my messages, my girl bring me parcels and packages Marijuana cigar smells in palaces, a few coil must pop off for di charities, cause politition a palave' pon dem promises A new face will fullfill the prophecies, it's too late for two faced apologies
For the master has come back, Gong the originally Run for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally For the master has come man, Man! I do it regulary Through every hill and valley, Its normal for me now For the Master has come back, It's Mr Warm and Easy She could never leave me, somebody please believe me For the master has come back, I'm mad wid it!
When fire tun down low we're only simmering, anyhow we start get cold , dem would be shivering Not everything is gold because of glittering, tell dem fi clean dem soul from all di littering, and they dont own di thronedat they be sitting in And it was just a loan they're only sitting in, and when the king come home well what a bitter thing Nashing of teeth and moaning upon bickering, well mind you catch the flow it can be sickening Only a few are chosen for the reckoning, it's Rastarfari's that unno living in, and its a lion's jungly unno visiting I know you've seen the posters of my images, upon your streets and close to all your villages, My metaphors unfolding with my similies, Woman can go dance again. Boom!
For the master has come back, Gong the originally Run for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally For the master has come man, Man! I do it regulary Through every hill and valley, Its normal for me now For the Master has come back, It's Mr Warm and Easy She could never leave me, somebody please believe me For the master has come back, I'm mad wid it!
For the master has come back For the master has come back For the master has come back For the master has come back
All Night (featuring Stephen Marley) Lyrics
It's all right
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] Said she wants my loving all night And when she get it, she'll be all right (all right) Said she wants my loving all night And when she get it, she'll be all right
[Verse 1: Stephen Marley] Now she call me on the phone and said she's home alone And she want me to come over and her house a home Well I gave it to her once And I liked how she responds Well now i'm in trouble Yeah
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] It seems she needs to oil her spine Tell all a gyal toast bread can't build di putty gold mine Need all di doctor to fish with di essential slime She tell me she want signal di plane n' time me want slow wine Turn on di HBO she want fi watch Showtime Give her di cordless microphone, she want di one with line Seem like me and young gyal ya just can't combine So it's sour like lime Running it down the line Mr. Muffin one timr
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] She call mi pon di I-95 How mi ah tek so long she ah wonder which car mi drive Tired fi listen album now and she want me live Tell me she want mi fi come knock her out till she can't revive SO!...Ah so mi planet and di stars align She tell me she want me know which part her hills and valley dem join Seh she want me ride her like a Ferrari sign Put appointment aside Nothing can't compromise Fi di vibes I provide BIM!
[Solo: Stephen Marley] She wants my loving all night When she get it, she all right She wants my loving all night
[Verse 4] I shouldn't make no physical contact, tell her fi hold down and still she just can't quiet Seh mi tek her up and tun her inna $@# maniac Telling me dat I compliment her natural habitat Well...it seem like she deaf or she blind Want come step inna mi life when time she deh far behind Want mi play her rhythm till di tape want rewind And she nah watch no time And she just nah resign till she see the sunshine OK!
Beautiful (featuring Bobby Brown) Lyrics
[Verse 1] And me and she we trampoose a lot Several mornings she shampoos my locks Always have my back she stand true to dat Real type of loving, thank you for that Yow...run barefoot without no shoes and socks Cause she keep herself clean mi nah go catch no rash And she love me for real mi nuh haffi have no cash And any little thing from mi splish she splash Yow...all this blinging it's like you forgot Use cheddar as the bait den you recruit a rat So we listen couple speech of Martin Luther chat Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and some Super Cat Yow...seem like she upside the duko shop Cause she don't have a scratch it's only beautiful spot When one duty start is when one duty stop One nine to five, one five to twelve o'clock You see me
[Chorus: Bobby Brown] Beautiful Here we go again My love, you know I will never let you go My love Beautiful Here we go
[Verse 2] And I remember when we met and we began dating And everything was copacet' and we began mating And then the way mi love her good, she gimme don ratings Because mi style dem plentiful and ah nuh one way thing And she get belly full and ah nuh pot scrapings And the closer we become the more she gravitating Until we buckle down and there is no escaping Now it typically became an everyday thing Regularly, physically communicating sexually, scientifically penetrating Until she start spiritually resonating Ah so mi know she real and seh she ah nuh play thing She is the only Queen, the King is designating And so mi seal the deal I am negotiating I know it's kinda deep but keep on concentrating Cause Jazzy lay di beat and I am clearly stating
[Chorus]
[Verse 1 Repeats]
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 Repeats]
[Chorus]
Pimpa's Paradise Lyrics
She loves to Party, have a good time She looks so hearty, feeling fine She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke Hey...she'd be laughing when there ain't no joke
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was
Cause coke was a thing that once she first try Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky Now she's wondering who else wants to go buy she don't got no money and wants to get high
story sounds familiar, Like born to be wild but sillier not quite the same, but she simiar a waste of my sarsaparilla used to look good in the videos now she look hideous
now it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces walks the cold nights--red district places she seen more hotels than my tour suitcases more male customers than old navy's she love lime light more than John Swaby's seen more miles than a rent-a-avis she don't slow down then someday maybe she lost and can't find her way to safety
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was
(Black thought Verse)
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was
For no reason a seasoned splif was the first thing one spring season while she's out flirting now she season in and don't need rehearsing esteem get a beating, life is uncertain ego need feeding, now the wants worsen beneath the demons she's a warm person when she's not fiending, swearing and cursing behind the curtains, she's really hurting and while her people don't even trust her at home the dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down and she without sin will spark the first stone the feeling kicks in she's in the dark zone old friends walk pass going 'bout their own as if she is someone that they don't know then the king of kings lift her off the floor saying life is a thing when you learn you grow
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was
She rise and she fall like a star her life write off like a car her face full of all kinda scar always quick fi start a war she can't keep herself up to par she plays like a broken guitar she always want tek it too far I doubt she ago mek it too far
she rise and she fall like a star her life write off like a car her face full of all kind scar always quick fi start a war she cant keep herself up to par she plays like a broken guitar she always want tek it too far Me wonder how she mek it so far

For The Babies Lyrics
This is real This is real
Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby, miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby Strength of Rastafari I’m hoping someday maybe, they don’t obey their parents maybe they will obey me Future for the babies, hopes for the babies, tomorrow for the babies, no sorrow for the babies Babies having babies, raising our babies, all of these young ladies give them thanks and praises How long can she take it? Dreams are full of maybes Will she ever make it? Hustles on a daily In the club a shake it Strip down ‘til she naked, don’t ever mistake it, much too real to fake it, need it then she’ll take it She’ll do it for the babies, a mother’s love is sacred, now you don’t ever fail me
A woman needs caring, sharing, love all the time (no don’t you ever fail me) A child needs loving, caring…
Is there no other option than adoption for you babies, you’re raffling and jacketing and auctioning your babies Strength of Rastafari I’m hoping someday maybe, they don’t obey their parents maybe they will obey me Cowards play the game thing, Fathers do the brave thing, And that’s participating, He keeps on concentrating There is no debating, No running away thing, A new life is awakening, From his ejaculating, It’s in the oven baking Takes two for the making, He’s right there through the cravings, And early morning waking, School and educating Sports and recreating, Karate and ballet thing, Teenager of today thing, Fathers still relating, Still communicating And they’ll always embrace him, Cause they cannot replace him
A woman needs caring, sharing, love all the time (no don’t you ever fail me) A child needs loving, caring…
And always do your best to keep a promise to your babies, And if you can’t be good at least be honest to your babies The strength of Rastafari I’m hoping someday maybe, They don’t obey their parents maybe they will obey me History of the babies, Beginning of the ages, You’re flipping through the pages, And up and through the 80’s Some are gang related, Drug affiliated, Some intoxicated, Headed for the snake pit, And Papa’s locked in cages And Mama’s lacking wages, And this is what they’re faced with, Upon a daily basis, Bleaching out dem faces Running from dem races, Shooting up dem places, Killing other babies, As bitter as the taste is And words cannot explain it, Just walk the narrow pavement, And speak of love not hatred.
Hey Girl Lyrics
Hey Girl, The way you make me feel I no your love is real You satisfy my every want and need Hey Boy, You're always on my mind We need to spend more time Cause noone else can touch my heart inside
She look so good in her clothes, she get dressed and roll So much man a flay down, call the pest control Confident princess, she address them bold, she nah manifest Fi dem sexual goal, she wish them the best, Rasta bless them soul Her mouth nah filthy, like nuh cess tank pool Smarter than most intellectual fools, weh spend dem time pon internet chat rooms
She said Jr. you're a genius, you think with your mind and not your penis Your gang of Jamaican Al Pacinos, drinking blue mountain cappuccinos Well I seh baby you the cleanest, the true definition of what my queen is Nothing coulda ever really come between us, share the same room and Jah will feed us
Hey Girl, The way you make me feel I no your love is real You satisfy my every want and need Hey Boy, You're always on my mind We need to spend more time Cause noone else can touch my heart inside
Why mi love fi all she's worth, sitn' fi gwan she wi start it first Wheel and pop off, supn' outta she purse, whole heap a fool have to start disperse Police ah come you see how fast she splurt, can't find no sign of she khaki skirt Light up the place like we spark there herbs, Love watch the way that she gwan When a big tune a play pon the dance-hall set, selector rewind every chance dem get The rhythm design fi she dance and sweat, all when morning a shine she nuh start dance yet Man clear the line when she walk and sweat, but she nah pay no mind to remarks dem mek Always on time tek a chance and bet, she's a fine piece of mind with the right mindset
She said Jr. you're a genius, you think with your mind and not your penis Your gang of Jamaican Al Pacinos, drinking blue mountain cappuccinos Well I seh baby you the cleanest, the true definition of what my queen is Nothing coulda ever really come between us, share the same room and Jah will feed us
Hey Girl, The way you make me feel I no your love is real You satisfy my every want and need Hey Boy, You're always on my mind We need to spend more time Cause noone else can touch my heart inside
So Boom! Animal you never know from you born, places you only see when travel channel tun on Our means of trans-p is when the camel run on Camouflage and fatigue is our style and fashion "Fliminitti" weh she have and that is the attraction, what she want is what she get and that is satisfaction Well she want it all night and not jus fi a fraction, Well too much long talking now a time fi action, well she love fi spend money but she rather spend time And if mi gone fi ten minutes, then she call me ten time If mi nuh pick up then she panic then she panic then she call mi friend line Cause she want the veteran fi come and bend up her spine, a substantial amount of african fly squat I have to sip a roots and bun a one night cap, and she love the veteran him always hit the right spot And the way she feel so good i have to bounce right back
Hey Girl, The way you make me feel I no your love is real You satisfy my every want and need Hey Boy, You're always on my mind We need to spend more time Cause noone else can touch my heart inside
Road To Zion (featuring Nas) Lyrics
Yeah Man... Jah will be waiting there, We a shout! Jah will be waiting there
[Verse 1] In this world of calamity Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy And police weh abuse dem authority Media clowns weh nuh know 'bout variety Boom!
The youngest veteran a go murder dem slow Ragga muffin sent to call me from the bush bungalow Unnu watch mek I clear out my voice now Figaro! Emerge from the darkness with mi big blunt a glow Mi hammer dem a slam and spectator get low Some bwoy coulda big like Bam Bam Biggalow Bust of trigger finger, trigger hand and trigger toe A two gun mi have mi bust dem inna stereo Cause

[Chorus 1] Clean and pure meditation without a doubt Don't mek dem take you like who dem took out Jah will be waiting there we a shout Jah will be waiting there! In this world of calamity Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy And police weh abuse dem authority Media clowns weh nuh know bout variety Single parents weh need some charity Youths weh need some love and prosperity Instead of broken dreams and tragedy By any plan and any means and strategy
[Hook] Say! We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man (Nas: I've been waiting to do this track with you man! Yeah...ha ha) (Yeah, yeah) You know (They know) We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man (Yeah you gotta keep walking y'all, You gotta keep...)
[Nas] Sometimes I can't help but feel helpless I'm havin daymares in daytime Wide awake try to relate This can't be happenin like I'm in a dream while I'm walkin Cause what I'm seein is haunting Human beings like ghost and zombies President Mugabe holding guns to innocent bodies In Zimbabwe They make John Pope seem Godly Sacrilegious and blasphemous
In my lifetime I look back at paths i've walked Where savages fought and pastors taught Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots And badges screaming,"Young black children stop or I will shoot!" I look back at cooked crack Plus cars that pass by Jaguars mad fly And I'm guilty for materialism Blacks is still up in the prison Trust that So save me your sorries, I'm raising an army Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley We sparkin' the ions, marching to Zion You know how Nas be NYC state of mind I'm in
[Verse 1 Repeats]
[Hook] I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt Don't mek dem take you like who dem took out Jah will be waiting there we a shout Jah will be waiting there!
[Chorus 2] Clean and pure meditation without a doubt Don't mek dem take you like who dem took out Jah will be waiting there we a shout Jah will be waiting there! In this world of calamity Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy And police weh abuse dem authority Media clowns weh nuh know bout variety Single parents weh need some charity Youths weh need some love and prosperity Instead of broken dreams and tragedy By any plan and any means and strategy Instead of broken dreams and tragedy Youths weh need some love and prosperity Instead of broken dreams and tragedy By any plan and any means and any strategy Ay! say,
[Hook] I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man You know... We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
