Keep My Faith lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Worlds all changing
They trying to change us too
I might be going crazy
What am I to do
Keep my faith
Walls crumble around me
I'm not surprised
What could I do
When you took my rights
Keep my faith
Like forty days and forty nights
In this wilderness of life
I am tempted
Frustration stirs up strife
Oh no no
Keep my faith
Circle around the sun
The signs are in the skies
The day will come
After the night
Mama say
Keep my faith, what you gonna do
Daddy say Lord
Keep my faith
Jah Jah say now
Keep my faith
People say
Keep my faith
Nothing they can do
Keep my faith
I even could be blue
I keep my faith
Could be down in the trenches
Could be down in the trenches
Keep my faith
Could down on my last breath
Keep my faith
One more thing Jim
Walls crumble around me
I am not surprised
There's nothing I could do
When they took my rights but
What you say
Keep my faith
Jah Jah, keep my faith
What you gonna do
Jah I keep my faith
I'll keep my faith
What you gonna do
Keep my faith
We Are One lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
There is a knowledge we all know
Yet we don't know, yet we don't know
There is a knowledge we all know
Yet we don't know, yet we don't know
We are one
There is a spirit we all know
Yet we don't know, yet we don't know
There is a spirit we all know
Yet we don't know, yet we don't know
We are one
Is it so hard to love one another
My brother
To see each other as we are
My sister
The earthy family
Forever
Wake up
Wake up now
Wake up
Wake up now
Wake up to the realization
That we are all of one nation
Everyone let's have some fun
Under the moon, the stars, the sun
Cause we are one
We are one
There is a knowledge
We are one
There is a spirit
We are one
Beautiful Day lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Take a look into the sky
'Cause the world is not so pretty
Free myself from worries
So I can see
It's just a beautiful day
It's just a beautiful day
You could be sad
But I rather you not be
Don't dwell on the negative
Just the positivity
And it's a beautiful day
It's just a beautiful day
We're always trying to satisfy these wants and needs
Take you some time for that inner peace
When your eyes are open
You'll see things differently
There's so much gloom
Hiding the reality
It's just a beautiful day
Yeah, It's just a beautiful day
Take a look into the sky
Wake up
Take a look into the sky
Keep your head up high
Take a look into the sky
I take a look into the sky
'Cause the world is not so pretty
Free myself from worries
So I can see
It's just a beautiful day
I could be sad
But you rather me not be
Don't dwell on the negative just the positivity
And it's a beautiful day
And it's a beautiful day
We're always trying to satisfy these wants and needs
Take you some time for that inner peace
When our eyes are open
We'll see things differently
There's so much gloom
Hiding the reality
It's just a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Take a look into the sky
Wake up
Take a look into the sky
Look in the sky
Keep your head up high
It's just a beautiful day
I know it's a beautiful day
It's just a beautiful day
I know it's a beautiful day
No one can take that away
It's just a beautiful day
I know it's a beautiful day
Don't you feel no way
It's just a beautiful day
Gone Away lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Our existence today
Mean so much for tomorrow
I'll always be there for you
Share your joys on top of your sorrows
But I will no longer live this life in the flesh
To the lust of man but to the will of God
All things have come to an end
Now be mindful of prayer
I'm gone away
To the place where there is no night or day
I'm gone away
To that place, to that place
When we're gone
What we leave behind is of no consequence
Just the love that we take
Will be our only memories
Like a child at play
The tears will soon dry away
Like a bright sunny day
No need to have any more fears
You're gone away
To the place where there is no night or day
You're gone away
To that place, to that place
Gone away
Lululu...
Our existence today
Mean so much for tomorrow
I'll always be there for you
To share your joys on top of your sorrows
But I no longer live the life in the flesh
To the lust of man but to the will of God
Everything had come to an end
Now I've been mindful of prayer
I'm gone away
To the place where there is no night of day
I'm gone away
To that place
Gone away

Higher Vibration lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
These city walls
Are like a prison
Why we gotta keep on living
With our backs against the wall
We are creatures of love
Victims of hate
We gotta keep on living
With our backs against the wall
No no no
Start living on a higher vibration
Now we take it to the heights of creation
Perfection of divinity
Is everyone's duty
Don't waste your time
Living for the vanities
We are creatures of faith
Victims of destiny
Which we create
Now we living on a higher vibration
'Cause we take it to the heights of creation
You know what I'm talking 'bout
Don't tell me no
Baby I could scream and shout
But I won't
It's a human experience
On another sphere
Well, it's a human existence
On another wavelength
Listen to me now
Now we living on a higher vibration
Then we take it to the heights of creation
Let me take you little higher
And then you take me little higher
All I Need Is You lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
I don't need no body
To make me happy
All I need is you
I don't need no money
To live how I should
All I need is you
Sorrow sometimes teach a lesson well
And I know that good can come from bad
So let's look into that morning star
'Cause we know just who we are
I don't need no body
To make me happy
All I need is you
I don't need no money
To live how I should
All I need is you
Man, this road I said it's rocky rough
So much obstacles and barriers
Ecclesiastes man him say
Everything is vanity
I don't need no body
All I need is you
Sorrow sometimes teach a lesson well
And I know that good can come from bad
So let's look into that morning star
'Cause you know just who you are
I don't need no body
To make me happy
All I need is you
I don't need no money
To live how I should
All I need is you
One Good Spliff lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
We gon' do our best
Never let it rest
Till our good be better
And our better best
Said I don't drink coffee
For they say
It's just not right for me
But what makes me irie
Is if I could get a little piece of tree
And build
One good spliff
Me and my little brothers
We take a ride
Gonna teach them
All the lessons that I have learned in life
One good spliff
Me and my younger brothers
We take a ride
I've gotta teach them
All the lessons that I have learned in life
Sometimes I feel the pressure
But I know that I'll be fine
Just as long as you got me
Something for my mind
Now let me get a rizzla
Little bit a herb
Light a old match
Let me settle my nerves
I gotta feel real high
Just to touch up on these tracks
Several ounces a day as a matter of fact
Now in Jamaica
Where the air is clean
And the buds all glisten with the glowing green
Guaranteed to lift you up
If you know what I mean
Read me loud and clear
Let me hear you scream
Now, you haven't been there
You should go there soon
And pass through the country
Get a touch of the boom
Go back to your shack or your hotel room
Call Mom and Pop says
I'll be home soon
Hanging with the Marleys all afternoon
And I ain't coming home till next May or June
Keep giving me the good vibration
It's giving me that inspiration
And I love that good sensation
Matter of fact
I think I might build myself one
One good spliff
Me and my younger sisters
We take a ride
One good spliff
Start the day out right
One good spliff
I didn't get no sleep last night
And I've got to get
One good spliff
I'm picking up
Good vibrations
One good spliff
Let It Go lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Let it go
Let your body go
When the music flow
Got nothing to lose
When we're dancing to the music
It's a vibration
A sensation
A natural mystic
All around
Coming to you from above
Coming to you from underground
Let it go
Let your body go
When the music flow
Got nothing to lose
When we're dancing to the music
Let it go, you've got to let it go
Let it go, you've got to let it flow
Sometimes we just got to let go
Of everything we think we know
Sometimes we just got to be free
No one telling us how we should be
Let it go
Let your body go
When the music flow
I got nothing to lose
When I'm dancing to the music
Just call me music
And don't call me nothing else
All your might
Say we dancing through the night
With all your might
Say we grooving through the night
Sometimes you just got to let go
Of everything you think we know
Sometimes we just got to be free
No one telling us how we should be
Let it go
Let your body go
Let it go
A sensation, a natural mystic
Let your body go
Let it go now
Free your soul now
Let it go
13 Months Of Sunshine lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
13 months of sunshine
Is what we got
Take us to, take us to, take us to that land
Who shall ascend the hill
Stand in that holy place
Lift up your heads

Forward to, forward to, forward to that land
Where the water run
We want to be
Earth gives food
Feeds you and me

Forward to that land
Now the sun is in my eyes
Well I say
I'm feeling high
Take us to that land
Forward to that land
13 months of sunshine
Many Waters lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Set me as a seal on your heart

So much love inside of me
Love, many waters cannot quench
I've stopped searching

Still run by the same mentality that runs it still here to do the same thing they've done
Conquer the poor and oppress the under privileged we got to stop that Babylon oh Babylon
Everyone Wants To Be lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Everyone wants to be the cowboy living life the wild wild west style
Everyone wants to be the outlaw
Well everyone tough and no one is gonna back down

Everyone wants to be the superstar live like a star and driving the fancy car
Everyone wants to get some fame playing the man's game
Everyone tough and no one is gonna back down
Capone said him tough and no one is gonna back down
Hey yo warning to informers and traitors first one die will be the instigator
Who died and left you commentator outer body experience see it's not all good

But once you hear the fire you vanish like human ghost sucker
Everyone wants to be the cowboy living life the wild wild west style
Everyone wants to be the outlaw

Everyone's tough and no one is gonna back down
Sandokas said him tough and no one is gonna back down
Jesse James said him rough and no one is gonna back down
People Get Ready lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
(originally by The Impressions)
People get ready there's a train a comin'
Don't need no baggage you jus climb on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesel hummin'
Don't need no ticket you jus thank the Lord
So people get ready, for a train to Jordan

Faith is the key, open the doors and board her
There's hope for all among His lovin' arms
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Many are those whose chances grow slimmer
For there is no hiding place against His kingdoms throne
So people get ready there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

Never forget your dreams life is full of ups and downs yeah
No matter how hard it seems never forget your dreams
Just take it day by day by day by day by day by day day by day by day by day by day
We laugh at them for they know their day is coming
The wicked draw their sword to slay the upright
The wicked bend their bows to cast down the poor
Yet their swords shall pierce them in their own hearts
Never you lose your faith things and times will have to change yeah
Say you might be down today but never you lose your faith

Five days a year that's really rough five days a year, yeah
Now I could tell she really hurts and she thinks I'm dishing dirt
But Jah Jah knows I'm trying but she insists I'm lying
Well, she keeps on crying and crying she says
Five days a year I don't see you much five days a year, it's not enough
Five days a year that's really rough five days this year, yeah
She say we don't do things together anymore and it seems we're not together anymore
...
She said it's my line of work that makes a woman really hurt
I said yo I'm trying but she started crying
She believes I'm lying I'm trying she says
Five days a year I don't see you much five days a year, it's not enough
Five days a year that's really rough five days this year, yeah
She say we don't do things together anymore and it seems we're not together anymore
...
That makes a woman, that makes a woman
Five days a year
Notice lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Notice how she moves into the night (notice)
Dressed up like a pimpers paradise (notice)
She came over to me and said
She whispered softly in my head
What do you do yea, are you alone tonight
She said, what do you do, are you a mama's child
Notice how she has an alibi (notice)
Where and when she hasn't been tonight
Seem she didn't get the drift
I had to build another spliff
What do you do yea, and are you alone tonight
She said, what do you do, are you a mama's child
...
Notice how she moves into the night (notice)
Yea, she's like a pimper's paradise
Came over to me and said

What do you do yea, are you alone tonight
She said, what do you do hey, are you a mama's child
What do you do yea, are you alone tonight
She said, what do you do dread, are you a mama's child

Power To Move Ya lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
I got the power to move ya
I got the power to move ya
I got the power to move ya
Jah got the power to move ya
Don't take it simple
Babylon get trample

Have you ever seen love mad

The system try 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 before 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 stop
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 lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Free like we want to be
Some time you want to get 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
What 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 genocide
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

Water And Oil lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Dem try fi hold hold wha dem can't conquer
Rastaman no mix up with no vagavanga
...
They want to condemn the innocent
For crimes which we did not committ
They want to get good people mix up
In their bag of tricks
But water and oil can't mix
Water and oil don't mix
...
Say dem try fi hold hold wha dem can't conquer
Rastaman no mix up with no vagavanga
...
Hear this! Naah go like the son if you no like the father
True we manifest under the same order
Cock your ears and listen me want you hear ya part ya
But first come in papa Ziggy as the eldest brother
Yes I hear the lies they've told
Dem says Rasta did this and this
What is the politician role
Is it to create conflicts
But water and oil can't mix
Water and oil don't mix
...
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 get get wha dem expect dem expect lamb fi slaughter
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 lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
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
Live it up
Live it up don't give it up
...
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 preach do
Live it up
Live it up don't give it up
...
Life for me
Life for you life for me
Life for you
...
There is no owner's manual for the life that we lead
Learn as you grow
More power to you
In life there's many stages but don't you quit
'Cause when the table turn more power to you
More power to you
Good now
Everyone feeling
Good now
...

Tipsy Dazy lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Miss Tipsy Dazy you're topsy turvy
Say one minute everything seem fine
Tipsy Dazy you're topsy turvy
The next minute we're in a puss and dog fight
That's not really right
Seems as the day grow old
Our love grow cold
Remember you been told
Love can't be bought nor sold
Tipsy Dazy you're topsy turvy
Say one minute everything's just right dynamite
Tipsy Dazy you're topsy turvy
Next minute we're in this great big fight
That ain't my style of life
When everything seem secure
I can't just be too sure
'Cause you can wake up one day
Not in love any more
Hey! Remember you've been told
Love can't be bought nor sold
Seems as the days grow old
Our love grow cold
Tipsy Dazy topsy turvy saying
One minute everything seem right
Tipsy Dazy you're topsy turvy
Next minute we're in this great big fight
That's not really right
Once more can't say you never been told
Love can't be bought or sold
But it seems as them days grow
Our heat grow cold
Tipsy Dazy your're topsy turvy
One minute everything just fine really divine
Tipsy Dazy you're really turvy
Next next minute next minute next minute yea
Tipsy, Tipsy Dazy topsy, really turvy
One minute we're in a great big fight
Bygones lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Naah laugh it off, can't laugh it off
We can't let bygones be bygones anymore
For this time we naah laugh it off
Tell we when you're ready and we'll come settle the score

Oh we've let bygones be bygones before
But this time we naah laugh it off
We won't let bygones be bygones anymore
For time time we naah laugh at all

Oh this time we naah laugh it off
Oh we've let bygones be bygones before
But this time we naah laugh at all
A prudent man he seeketh knowledge

Only the fool lean up on the folly
The wicked heart knows pure bitterness

We've let bygones be bygones before
This time we naah laugh it off
We can't let bygones be bygones anymore
But this time we naah laugh at all
Say this time me naah laugh it off

School teachers you working hard educatring
But all the work you do they take you for a play thing
I mad I still don't know why I still don't know why

Me say me naah get enough good weh day
All thema work is like them naah get no pay
Naah get enough food from weh day
All the work we work is like we naah get no pay
Watching everything go up in inflation
Food price go up and man pay a go down

But in a corner we wings and a jam
Ragga ragga a watch the notion
Say we naah get no good food from weh day
Naah sow no good seed from weh day

But all the lives you save you don't get enough pay

Now our farmers them digging hard every day
But all the food they grow import them a say
That make me mad that make me mad mad mad mad

Your sister got to shop for two
Oh civil servants you working hard everyday and

Bass man a cry bout him can't get string
Have the contacts and can't bring them in raggamuffin dj and sing

G7 lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
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 lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
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 she 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 talk 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
Joy And Blues lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Joy and blues...
Here we are in this ocean
Between life and death and truth and lie
Between rich and poor and sick and cure
Between joy and blues (joy and blues)
Here we are in this ocean
Between light a day and dark a night
Between nature and destruction
Between joy and blues (joy and blues)
Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Do what you gotta do
'Cause if it's money you put down
It's only money you could lose
Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Pick your choice - choose well
'Cause when your life is on the line
It's only life you can lose
Alright
We have the potion
To clear all evil notion
Putting these words in motion
I refuse to give joy to blues
Tell me why should we live between
Joy and blues
Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Do what you gotta do
'Cause if a money you put down
It's only money you can lose don't you know
Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Pick your choice - choose well

It's only life you can lose
Joy and blues
Joy and blues
Here we are in the big blue sea
Between faith and trust and hypocrisy
Between wants and needs, between joy and blues
Here we are in this ocean
Between fantasy and destiny, between quality and quantity
Between joy and blues, between joy and blues
Between joy and blues...
Choose well and make sure you don't lose
Do what you gotta do
'Cause if a money you put down
It's only money you could lose
Just choose well and make sure you don't lose
Pick your choice - choose well
When your life is on the line, your life is on the line
Your life is on the line, only life you can lose
Choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose
Choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose
Brothers And Sisters lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
I am my momma's son, you are your father's child
Sometime we act as if we hate each other
A different fate, a different state of mind
That don't mean we all can't be satisfied
We are all brothers and sisters
We are all brothers and sisters
Some are black and brown, others white and light
That's all the difference I can remember
Different face, different kind of smile
That's what we see but this we must realize
We are all brothers and sisters
We are all brothers and sisters
Earth is my mother, there is no other
So for you, so for all of I
Don't look me with a scorn
In time mankind was born
So for you, so for all of I
Love must live, hate must die
Don't join a rind
Don't you be so blind
We are all brothers and sisters
We are all brothers and sisters
I am no stranger in your town
Rasta seed is all around, yeah
Now when you're lookin' at me
Don't think I am your enemy
I am my father's son, you are your momma child
Sometime we act as if we hate each other
A different fate, a different state of mind
That don't mean we all can't be satisfied
Ah, brothers and sisters, we are all
Brothers and sisters, all an' all
Brothers and sisters, we are all
Brothers and sisters, all an' all
Brothers and sisters, whom without life
Brothers and sisters, we are all
Brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters, we are all
Brothers and sisters, all an' all
Brothers and sisters, we are all
Brothers and sisters, we are all
Brothers and sisters, all an' all
There She Goes lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Oh, the truth hurts now, more than the lie
Tell you the truth, now I'm blamed to be wrong
I wear no disguise
But I trod on through those memories
That haunt me, that haunt me
I trod on through those memories
That haunt me oh man that haunt me
There she goes crying again
But her loveliness won't cover her shame
And there she goes, taking true love
While she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along
Days I've spent wasted with you child
If I count they'd be a million or two
But I walk on through that memory
That haunts me oh man that haunts me
I say I trod on through that angry grief
That taunt me, that taunts me
There she goes crying again
But her sexiness won't cover her shame
And there she goes she's taking her true love
But while she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How, how, how could I be so wrong
To think that we could work out
Days I've spent wasted with you child
If I could count they'd be a million or two
Now I walk on through that rocky reef
That wants me and that wanted me
Woman I walk on through that angry grief
That taunts me, I say that taunts me
Oh, the truth hurts now, more than the lie, lie
I tell you the truth, now I'm blamed to be
Wrong I wear no disguise, no I
There she goes crying again
But her loveliness won't cover her shame
And there she goes, she's taking her true love
While she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How could I be so dumb
To think that we could have some fun
Days I've wasted with you child
If I count, they'd be a million or two
Now I walk on through those memories
That wants me oh man that wants me
I said I trod on through that angry grief
That taunts me I know it taunts me
There she goes crying again
But her sweet caress won't cover her shame
And there she goes, she's taking true love
While she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How could I be so wrong
To think that we could work out
Why should I be so dumb
To think that we could have some fun
There she goes crying again
There she goes crying again
Talk lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Well, I know there is Jah out there to be found
Yes, I know there is Jah out there to be found
What they seem to have found
See they claim to be who they aren't
What they seem to have found
Falsely proclaimed, popes and priests
They claim they are the closet to God
But who are you, and how can you be
How can you be who you aren't?
All they do is talk
Yes, all they do is talk
Dem chatty mouth a bark
Well all they do is talk
Woman, I know there is Jah out there to be found
Yes, my people I know we is Rasta all around
Now they think they know little of everything
But they don't know fart
Some intellectuals think they know a little of everything
But they don't know naught, naught
Hey, it's not what's on the outside my brethren
It's what's in the heart
And the real you is inside of you my sistren
You know who you really are
All they do is talk
Yes, all they do is talk
That's all they do is talk
Watch them chatty mouth a bark
Blessed be Jah my rock who teaches my hands
To wage war and my fingers to do the battle
My love, my fortress, my strong hold, my deliverer, my shield in whom I've taken
Refuge and the one who subdues my people under me
Oh Jah, what is man? Man is breath, his days are like passing shadow
Oh, Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend, touch the mountains so that they
Smoke, flash forth the lightning and strike them, shoot forth thy arrows and
Confound them
I know there is revolution brewing, I can see
People, I know there is a solution in you and me
Now they think they can fool all the people
But they can't and they ain't
Yes, they think they can fool all the people
But they ain't 'cause they can't
Falsely proclaimed leaders
They claim they're the leaders of men
But what is this, who are you?
And how can you be, how can you be
Who you ain't?
All they do is talk
Yes, all they do is talk
Promise you this, promise you that
Chat behind the innocent back...
Them chatty mouth a bark
Yes all they do is talk
Them chatty mouth a bark
And all they do is talk
Promise you this, promise you that
Chat behind the innocent back...
All they do is talk, them chatty mouth a bark...
Them chatty mouth a bark and them can't defend them talk
Rebel In Disguise lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Maker
If you don't see me smiling
It got nothing to do with you
My papa been on the rock so long
Inherited a permanent screw...
If you don't see me smiling
It ain't no concern of you
My mama been on the rock for so long
Inherited a permanent screw...
So you won't even know me
'Cause you can't look me in the eye
Well only then my friend you would see
That I am a rebel in disguise
Said I am a rebel in disguise
And I am a rebel in disguise
We are rebels in disguise
We are rebels in disguise
If you don't catch me smiling
Said I have got serious on my mind
Want to tell you a little story
We are living in a serious time...
Said a fire deh, said a fire deh
Fire deh a mus mus tall
You think a cool breeze
Life is real hard
But you think it gonna ease
By letting the pressure pile up on me
The baby crying
You come and ask us for a dollar bill
And we give you ten
Simply mean you should not be coming back again
Simply mean you go home and learn to help yourself
You are putting, you are putting on the pressure
Making it, making it much harder
If you don't see me smiling
It ain't got nothing to do with you
...
Then again you might have done something wrong
And you don't know where you belong
...
So you won't really know us
We are rebels in disguise
Said I am a rebel in disguise
Said I am a rebel in disguise
And we are rebels in disguise
And we are rebels in disguise
Fire de a mus mus tail
And you think a cool breeze
Your life is real hard but you think it's gonna ease
By letting the pressure pile up on me
X Marks The Spot lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
X marks the spot

Fighting to see
Equality
X marks the spot
Turn it back now
Fighting to see

But we're not on the run
We're living in a bombshell world
And make it so [?]

Don't ye be no hypocrite or play no cheats my mind
I said, we'll travel the world and see our own I?

We're living in a warzone
But we're not on the run
We're living in a bombshell world

Mark them spot...
It's the system that make our people a slave
Our people our sweat in a sea of blood
Sea of blood
Sea of blood
Sea of blood
Head Top lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
The session is nice, feel real good
The set is playing some wicked riddim
I see some girls wining on their head tops...
Police pass through, don't even try and stop it
'Cause they know who is running it
Send for the suru board
Lala give it to me on the dance floor
Cedella just fly in from New York
She deh pon the scene
Girls from Backtu, girls from Spain
Girls from Trenchtown, girls from Payne
Girls from south and Matches Lane
When the music hit you feel no pain
A park outside, some youth dem come to greet me
A got to shine some light
To make the youth dem walk more freely
Talk on the mic, a sing a song them call stop joke
And then a rope in Steve fi come D.J. rat trap for me
Wining on their head tops, wining on their head tops
Is a African ting
...
Girls from New York, girls from L.A.
Girls from Accra, girls from J.A.
Girls from Japan, girls from Chile
The music hit you feel irie

Farout, Jamdown, Falmouth, St. Ann
You have girls that come around
No tek man fi clown
Love the ragsta, only him alone
Jammin on the riddim mek ina you back bone
Watch it baby love, you enter ina my zone
Police pass through, don't even try and stop it
Dem done know who is running it
Send for the suru board, Lala give to me on the dance floor
Cedella just fly in from New York
She deh pon the scene
Wining on your head tops, wining on your head tops

...
Girls from uptown, and girls from downtown
Girls from Spanishtown
Girls from Hanna Town, girls from Rema

Girls that love the Zigman, only him alone, only him alone
You winning in the session and you haffi boogie down
No si down ina corner and gwan like a clown

African Herbsman lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Oh, twinkling we
Can't see the right roads when the streets are big
That old slave mill might grind slow
But it grinds fine
African Herbsman why linger on
Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on
Retire slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart
That's how quick they have to part
That's how quick
The remembrance of today
Sad feeling of tomorrow oh yeah
African Herbsman seize your time
Taking illusion to the edge of my mind
Taking loses down through my life
Down through my life yes
That's how quick
That's how quick
Do they part yes they part
In remembrance of today oh yeah
African Herbsman why linger on
Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on
Retired slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart 'cause that's how quick
That's how quick
The remembrance of today sad feeling of tomorrow
Lead me oh Lord, Lord, Lord I pray
African Herbsman...
Oh, twinkling we
Can't see the road when the streets are big
That old slave mill might grind slow
But it grinds fine
African Herbsman seize your time
Taking illusion on the edge of my mind
Taking loses down through their lives
Down through their lives
The African Herbsman...
World So Corrupt lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
When will the blind see, when will the deaf hear
Why should the babe shed so many tear drops
And the wicked man not even a sigh
And those wicked men not even a sigh
'Cause we are living in a world so corrupt
We are living in a world so corrupt...
Lies they sell cheaper than bread
What they do starve the people of truth
Secretly the system programme the pain
In disguise of every day life problems...
We are living in a world so corrupt...
Yeah, I am living in this world so corrupt
You are living in a world so corrupt
There is a way which seems so right to men
But it end leadeth to destruction
Even in gladness the heart weeps
And the end of joy is grief
Oh, the end of joy is grief
Don't lose your way find it today
And don't drop the speed, people in need
Don't lose your way, find it today
I don't drop my speed, the people in need
We are living in a world, living in a world, living in a world
Mama, I have got to change it
We are living in a world, living in a world, living in a world
On daddy, oh daddy, I remember you told me
Living in a world, living in a world, living in a world
That's so corrupt now, that's so corrupt now
Living in a world so corrupt, got to be tough
Got to be rough, got to be tough, got to be rough now
Garden lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
In the garden of righteousness
Where to weep is to learn
There the wicked is no contest
We conquer them all
Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil...
In the garden of wickedness
You reap what you sow
There the youth should dare not go
Remember what you've been told
Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil...
In the garden of fruitfulness
You plan and it will grow
There death is of no threat
Life ever flows
Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil...
In the garden of happiness
Where life is at its best
Despair is far from near
I am free from all material care
Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil...
In the garden of righteousness
Where to weep is to learn
There the wicked is no contest
We've conquered them all
Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil...
Never spare your rod from me...
Jah never spare that rod from me
I need it desperately
