Moses Children lyrics
Tell them tell them, Tell them the reason why you crying children Tell them, tell them tell them the Reason why you shed those tears (rep.)
If I never did right or if I ever did wrong, wrong, wrong, It's because situation arise Where things don't seem to belong
Trial and crosses are always Before me thorns and prickles in-a my way, my way, my way, With the task-master always Behind me, waiting for a chance To take my life away.
And my burdens, they're getting Heavy and heavier every day My burdens, I'm like one who Labours without no pay My burdens sweating like a slave to live another day My burdens, if I didn't follow my Mind I would be gone astray.
For silver and gold have I none have I none Silver and Gold have I none have I none Silver, silver, silver and Gold have I none, have I none Silver and gold have I none have I none.
So wont you tell them tell them Tell them the reason why you crying children. Tell them, tell them, tell them the Reason why you shed those tears (rep.)
Working round the clock and obeying The gong is like the weak who's Got to feed the strong I got to carry my load like a Child of Israel battering and Dragging along, along, along. Blessed is the man who keepeth his faith, and hope for the day of his great Redemption to get away from grief and hate And into the joys of the sweet liberations.
Slave driver, dry bone crying in the wilderness Slave driver, only muscle and blood can stand the test (rep.)
Moses Children I know was In shadows of death the shadows a death But Moses Children, they rose from strength to strength. (rep.)

Get Up Stand Up lyrics
Get up stand up stand up for your rights. Get up stand up, dont give up the fight (Rep.)
Preacher mall dont tell me Heaven is under the earth I know you dont know what life is really worth Its not all that glitter is gold And half the history has never been told And now that the children have seen the light They're gonna stand up for their rights
Get up stand up, stand up for your rights Get up stand up, dont give up the fight. (rep.)
Pastor deacon we're tired a hearing Great God gonna come from the sky Taking away every living things That's a whole bag of lies Cause if you knew what life is worth You would look for yours on earth And now that the children have seen the light. They're gonna stand up for their rights.
Get up stand up, stand up for your rights. Get up stand up, dont give up the fight (Rep.).
We're sick and tired of your conmen game Dying and go to heaven in Lord Jesus name We know and we've come to Overstand that the creator is a Living One You could have fooled some people sometime But you can't fool all the people all the time And now that the children have seen light They're gonna stand up for their rights
Get up stand up stand up for your rights Get up stand up, dont give up the fight. (Rep.)

Scheme of Things lyrics
What are you doing toward the scheme of things What are your words to your brother beings What are you doing toward the scheme of things What are your works toward your brother beings
Now let the truth shine bright through all your actions As you strive toward the accomplishment of your missions As you seek to feed the sheep of the shepherd You'll be found worthy to enter into Jah vineyards But there is too much polution in the land Said I need some atmospheric vibration. Too much confusion The whole world is suffering from illusions
But Redemption stands within the Scheme of things The Redeemer is called the King of Kings Who purifies the soul from unclean things, So know your place within the scheme of things.
Wise ones will hear and will increase their learnings From the words of the wise and their Bright sayings, Now how long ye simple ones will ye love simplicities you'd better rise and awake from your slumbering mentalities.
For the wind of desperation will increase crime-waves and demonstrations But the rock of discretion will calm the floods of conflict and convictions. So what are you doing toward the scheme of things What are your words to your brother beings What are you doing, toward the scheme of things. What are your works forward your Brother Beings.

Quit Trying lyrics
You better quit trying to live my life for me You better quit trying stop nagging me so constantly You better quit trying, I just want for you to let me be Cause I've got who I want to show me the way. I Don't need sympathy so please go your way. Go away you hypocrite go away O promise is a comfort to a fool you hypocrite go away-o I dont need no sympathy you hypocrite go away- And please don't you sorry for me you hypocrite go away-o Cause since I've seen the light You dont know what its done for me And its such a fight only who'se Got eyes to see can see (rep.)
You better quit trying And give the little youth a chance You better quit trying For they can make this place a better land You better quit trying I hope you elders understand They got their own mind. They too can lead the way They can make the garden red, gold and green for little children to play Go away, you hypocrite go away-o Promise is a comfort to a fool you hypocrite go away-o I dont need no sympathy you hypocrite go away-o and please Dont you sorry for me you hypocrite go away-o
Cause since I've seen the light You dont know what its done for me And its such a light only whose Got eyes to see can see (rep.)
You better quit trying to live my life for me You better quit trying stop nagging me so constantly You better quit trying and give the little youth a chance You better quit trying for they can make this place a better land (rep.).

Follow Fashion Monkey lyrics
Git up you Black yankies Dont be no Follow Fashion Monkey (Rep.)
Follow follow follow fashion monkeys Never drink good soup So drink the water from your own stream Before you loose your roots your roots, your roots Shala-wala walab-shah-shab Shab-sha-shala-wala-walab-shab sha. Dont like the way you hold back from me Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready Dont like the way you hold back from me, Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready
Be your self and no one else its time you stop your adaptions then you'll know the truth is in you and learn to make your own decision
So git up you Black yankies Dont be no follow fashion monkeys (Rep.)
I've seen you play the games of Lead and I'll follow, so many times before Now I'd just like your attention To borrow to get my message through your doors, your doors, your doors Shala-wala-wala-wala-shab-shab Shab-sha shala-wala walab shab
There's too much barriers Between you and I Tho' we're both of the same kind It's the same current that runs through our minds So trap your egos' to mine.
Stop a while and keep your cool and Listen to what I'm saying Tho I know temptation strong You'll reap the treasure of knowing Then you'll start growing, growing, growing.
Dread up thats your culture Live up thats life, dont let devil use you For all them shining precious stones They're gonna rub right off So dont let them fool you Please dont let them fool you, fool you fool you
So git up you Black yankies Don't be no follow fashion monkeys (Rep.)

Wanted Children lyrics
Wanted children crying from the Backbones of their fathers Wanted children, longing for the Bossom of their mothers (rep.)
Now didn't JAH create the earth And to the waters did he give birth He divided the waters from the land Rivers for land, and seas for sand Then said he, let there be fight. And he made the darkness bright Greater lights to rule by day Lesser tights to rule by night.
Nothing or no one can change them Adjust or even rearrange them These creations were here from the beginrung So accept them for what they're worth For all good thing in life are free Like liberty for you and for me As the freedom of a raging storm Let the little children born
Wanted children, crying from the Backbones of their fathers Wanted children, longin for the Bossom of their mothers (rep).
And so JAH created man Male and female according to his plan All creatures both great and small And in pairs he create them all To man and woman he gave all dominion Over all creatures that live on creation To multiply and replenish the earth By coming together and so give birth So who are you to try them, price them and sell them Who are you to slave them and to Kill them before them born Who are you to hunt them down Run them down and gun them down Who are you to Judge them and to Put thern to shame and scorn.
Wanted children, crying from the Backbone of their fathers Wanted children longin for the Bossom of their mothers (rep.)

Who Feels It lyrics
Every man thinks his burdens the heaviest But it common they know because they feel And who feels it know it Who feels it knows it
No dont sit by your window Gazing at the streets Sorrying for your self cause you've got nothing to cat There's a light within you, so let it shine Git up and move and start trying trying trying.
Just git up and move Get right in the groove (rep.)
For linger you linger, cry you must cry Now dont point your fingers and you'll get bye Dont be no moonshine-darling and sit down and cry. Please dont you give up now before you give it a try
Before you give it a try Before you give it a try, try, try And dont you give up now dont give up now dont give up now. Dont you Give up now before you give it a try before you give it a try, try, try.
Papa no want, no want no want, No want, no more bondage For its a long time he's been in slavery. Mama no want, no want no want, No more pain, pain and worry For its a long time now she's been unhappy
And Who feels it knows it Who feels it knows it Every night and every day Who feels it knows it By their blood and sweat they pay Who feels it knows it yea
But linger you linger cry you must cry No dont point you fingers and you'll get bye Dont be no moon-shine darling and sit down and cry And please dont you give up now before you give it a try Before you give it a try come on Give it a try, try, try. Before you give it a try come on Give it a try, try, try, And dont you give up now don't you Give up now don't give up now Before you give it a try, before you Give it a try, try, try (rep.).

Johnny Too Bad lyrics
Johnny was grown in a twisted broken down one room shack in-a the ghetto The going was tough and the ditch of survival was getting steep in-a the ghetto
It was robbing and stabbing and Looting and a shooting and its too bad It was just robbing and stabbing and And a shooting and its too bad (rep.)
Johnny grew tough, and his task of survival was to plunder in-a the ghetto Johnny never lost no fight and he never never stoop to conquer Johnny you too bad You just a robbing and stabbing a Looting and a shooting and you too bad, too bad You just a robbing and stabbing Looting and a shooting and you sad. (rep.)
Now you walking down the road with a shotgun in your waist Johnny you too bad. Johnny was so smart that he never caught in a cop chase Johnny you too bad.
Hey little wild one a beg you throw Away you shot-gun Johnny you too bad. What you gonna do when you hear A voice say son, who you gonna run to.
You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting and you to bad, too bad You just a robbing and stabbing looting and a shooting and you to sad. (rep.)
As smart as Johnny was strong he Was tricked trapped cornered and Shot down ina the ghetto Now all Johnny left behind is a Struggling woman and two sons. In-a the ghetto.
You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting and you too bad, too bad You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting you too Poor Johnny, Johnny you too bad Poor Johnny, Johnny you too sad Poor Johnny, Johnny you too bad Poor Johnny, Johnny you too sad. Some say big bad Johnny had a good inside Johnny was a good one big bad Johnny had a good inside tho he was a wild one Big bad Johnny had a good inside He would give to the weak what he robbing and stabbing and Big bad Johnny had a good inside He was a strong one. (rep,).
