Ziggy Marley Lyrics
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
'Cause when your life is on the line
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

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
Mama lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Mama I don't ever want to see you cry
If then they knew him
They'd have passed right by
Oh, Joseph's a man of many women, feel no way
Oh, always remember you are the first of them
So oh Mama
If they could see where we are coming from
The other day
Then they would know just where they belong
If they could see where you're coming from
Just the other day
They would know just where they belong
Let stumbling blocks fall out of your way
Lord know, Lord knows your reward shall be great
They were broken off through their lack of faith
But because of your faith you are still in place
Woe Mama, if they could see where you're coming from
Just the other day
Then they would know just where you are coming from
If they could see where you are coming from
Just the other day
Then they would know just where they belong
Ah my children
Oh Mama
Fret not for me
I know Jah will be there
Eternally
If they could see where we are coming from
Just the other day
Then they would know just where they belong
If they could see where we are coming from
Then they would know just where they belong
Mama I don't ever want to see you cry
Ain't no lie
If then they knew him
They would have passed right by
So many called but you were chosen
And so you will remain outspoken
Oh Mama
If they could see where we are coming from
Just the other day
Then they would know just where they belong
Mama I don't ever want to see you cry
Ain't no lie
If then they knew him
They would have passed right by
So many called but you were chosen
And so you will remain outspoken
Oh Mama
If they could see where we are coming from
Just the other day
Then they would know just where they belong
If they could see where we are coming from
Just the other day
Then they would know just where they belong
Then they would know
Yes they would know
This One lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
History been renamed
Time have no friend
Who you a go warn, when the real war come on
A no we you have to warn when the truth bust out
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one...
Malcolm X, Garvey, Martin, Marley, Mohammed, Yesus Christ
Strive and free your life
Don't play their games
Don't put your mind to waste, don't put your mind to waste
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
This is the one that is this one
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
This is the one that is this one
Propaganda machine working overtime
Now more than ever on the younger minds
Don't just believe everything you see on the TV
Don't just believe everything you read in the magazine
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
This is the one that is this one
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
This is the one that is this one
People have their place
Race has its pace
Each blow a the right one
Every blow carries a weight
No giving up in I, I will keep the faith
No giving up in I, fight them racist hate
No no no no no no no no you can't do nothing 'bout it
You can't do nothing 'bout it
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
This is the one that is this one
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
I am the one that is this one
We are the one that is this one
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
Dem can't do nothing 'bout this one
This is the one that is this one
It a the right one, it a the real one...

Let's have a good time
Though the world is cruel and blind
Let's have a good time
Get those problems out your head, put

In a dream world
Dreaming of things that there ain't no possibility, who
Wee, believe me

Born to live this way

With plenty of food to eat, and plenty drink to drink

Liberate yourself from the state that you're in
It stink, it stink, it stink

Wrong Right Wrong lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Some people got the wrong right
Some people got the right wrong
Some people got the wrong right
Some people got the right wrong
Wrong right
Some people got the right wrong
Some people got the wrong right
Some people got the right wrong
And they're teaching their doctrine
To the children of today
Every mickle make a muckle
If you know what I say
Don't be fooled by the fool
The trick that they play
And they know what is in their mind
They're trying to prove instead of to find
Truth don't hide in no valley
Truth don't hide in no brook
Truth a hide in your heart
Woe onto them who cause iniquity
With chords of vanity, they call evil god
Put darkness for light; bitter for sweet
Woe unto dem who are wise
In their own eyes, what a life
Behind the scene eyes nuh see
What governments hide
C.I.A should D.O.A., K.G.B. should R.I.P.
That's what on my mind
The bible was changed to suit King James
Many empty lies, hear say, hear say, hear say
John public blind, public want to know the truth today
And the world became this way
Because the trick in the trade
They refuse to see it, save the people pray
Doctrine where is your happiness
We're in a slummy economic mess
Whole world is crying, whole world is dying
Some a dem, some a dem, some a dem
Some a dem, some a dem, some a dem
Some a dem
Some people don't know
Some people don't know
Some people don't know
Some people don't know

Jah Is True And Perfect lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
So people ain't it time to feel
Rather than gazing past reality
So you run from the rock
And you end up in the wilderness
And the big bad wolf is getting vex
You remember this
Jah is true and perfect more holy than man
Jah is true and perfect and those who are with him
He that plant the seed is the son of man
The field is the Earth, the food seeds are the children
Joyful is men when the truth is known
But sadness come with the lies they tell
Well I dig this
Hey you remember this
So people ain't it time to feel
Rather than gazing past reality
So you run from the rock
And you end up in the wilderness
And the big bad wolf have no regrets
But remember this, Jah is true and perfect more holy than man
Yeah Jah is true and perfect and those who are with him
Stay there
Jah is true and perfect more holy than man
Jah is true and perfect and those who are with him
Stay there
Jah is true and perfect more holy than man
Jah is true and perfect and those who are with him
Jah is true and perfect more holy than man

So Good, So Right lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
This one is special for all the ladies
You never know I was that type of man
So good so right so good so, so good so right so good so

Feel so good about something so right

But you keep on watching the time
Wondering what's on my mind
So you say you can't stay too long, cause

The back in a mastering room style
Don't be shy, don't you lie, look into my eye
I'll tell you why, I'll teach you about feeling high
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Never before have you seen this, so I say
This feeling sink within my head, oh yea, oh yea
Never before have you believe it, so I mean what I say

If you believe what I say, baby, baby
A check in, check in, check check, check in check in
Check in, check in, check in, a check in, check in, check into my hotel
A feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night

So good, so right, so good, so right, so good, so right
So right, I feel so good, could it last another night

Fighting for the same cause, we fight for today
Now some people say when will it happen
And that's what they say, now let us tell them something
My generation will make the change, wi hafe bring it come

And trying to get away from reality is dangerous
My generation will make the change, sing along
This generation will make the change
Some man lose faith, too long ina the struggle
Oh no we can't lose faith, we born ina the struggle

Now wake up lazy mind sleep for you today
Now youth responsible, when all else have failed
And there will be no more blaming someone else

This generation will make the change, this ain't no weep no weep

When The Lights Gone Out lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
A battery tape playing in the street
My only relief
All we have is just the music
No matter what the crisis
It keep the spirit lively
Just as you feeling blue
Well I'll be there for you
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
Pretty girls dance in the street
My only relief
All we have is just the music
There ain't no dance
Unless you have good music
If you don't have good music
Then you don't have a chance
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
And a battery tape playing in the street
My only relief
All we have is just the music
When there ain't no justice to be found
They kicking you around
All we have is just the music
When the light gone out and the food run out
All we own is just music
You all know there ain't no party
Unless the music Irie
There ain't no love unless you show me
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music
When the lights gone out and the food run out
When there ain't no justice to be found
Is just the music
When there ain't no answer from above
When there ain't no one to love
Is just the music
When there ain't no shoe on your feet
When there ain't nothing to eat
All we have is just the music
When the lights gone out and the food run out
All we have is just the music

All Love lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
There's something going on over there
There's something going on over there
But there's something going on right here, and it's our life
I see some boogie, out of their shoes
Some just grooving, grooving to the groove
I am skanking, skanking loose
But we're all doing the same thing
It's just all love
Got to be all love
It's just all love
That's right, all love
Wake up your love in the morning
Wake up your love in the night
Shape up the love, shape up the love in the morning
Shape up that love tonight
There's something going on over there
Well there's something going on over there
But there's something happening right here
It's our life, I and, I and I life
Some smile all the time, some a pop, pop till you drop
Do a steady rock, rock steady easy
'Cause we're in the same thing
It's just all love
Got to be all love, tonight
It's all love
People give it, all love, now, what what
Shake up this place let the earth quake
Wake up this place let the earth vibrate
Shake up this place let the earth quake
Wake up this place let the earth vibrate
'Cause there's something going on
Well there's something wrong going on over there
And there's something wrong, way, way, way, way, way back there
But there's something right, right here
It's our life, I and I life
All love
I'm giving it, all love
I don't, I don't know that, all love
I'm giving it, all love
I can't hold back, all love
Tonight, it's just all love, all right
All love
Don't hold back, all love
There's something happening right here
There's something happening right here
There's something happening right here
All love, all love, all love, that's what going on, all love

Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
Look who's dancing
Oh look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
Well, first the dance floor
Was like a forbidden land
Where people would never dare to go
But now everyone's doing it
I said it's a dance galore
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
Look who's dancing
Oh look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
And some are dancing on their feet
Some are jumping off the floor
And look at old Granny "B"
She got the, she caught the, she knows the groove for sure
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now, right around
Look who's dancing
Who is dancing
Look who's dancing now, get on the floor
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now, around the world
Look who's dancing
Oh look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
And some are dancing on their feet
Some are jumping off the floor
And look at old Tauter him
He got the, he got the, he got the, he got the beat for sure
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
Look who's dancing
Check the dancing
Look who's dancing now, get on the floor
Do the ska, the rock steady, the ridim and blues
And if you catch them, then you do the della move
It nuh mek nuh sense to sit down, when you know you can groove
Any type of danve you do, you neither win or lose
And if your choice is reggae, you don't need nuh dancing shoes
Suh listen to the message, and you know you won't lose
Look who come, come dancing pow we dancing floor again
Some a dem a enemy, some a dem a friend
Some a dem a mother and father, some a dem a children
Some a dem a loafer who a follow the trend
And some a dem a just dey ya as we good brethren
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ra ra ra ragga muffin
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
That's why we ra ra ragga
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ra ra ra ragga muffin
So we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ra ra ra ragga muffin
That's why we flash certain dancing style, it sound well wicked
If a guy woulda really try, so you know him stupid
Exorcism, devilism we nuh deal wid
Our faith in jah jah man, it well, well, well solid
So pray every day and ask for strength and knowledge
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
That's why we ra ra ra ragga muffin
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Justice lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Justice, people say, justice
Justice, brother say, justice
Judge me if I am weak
Judge my days and all life long
They let the baby cry, let the mama cry
And youths like I and I have to cry
For justice, one, one, one word prayer
Justice, who yeah, justice, justice

Justice, the more the tears
The more, the more we want, justice, justice
Love Is The Only Law lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Love is the only law to obey
Don't business what they say
Love is the only law to obey
Don't business what they say
We only live to learn to love
And no lesson is greater
Make it your gain, suffer no shame
Love is the only law to obey
Don't business what they say
Love is the only law to obey
Don't business what they say
We'll only live if we learn to love
And no, no, no, no treasure is greater
What it your aim, suffer no pain
Love is the only law to obey
I know you care what they say
Love is the only law to obey
I know you care what they say
If it in your mind to commit the sin
I hope you know, no destruction is greater
What is your aim, you better explain
Love is the only law to obey
Oh yeah, don't care what they say
Love is the only law to obey
Don't care what they say
Kid you only live if you learn to love
And no lesson is greater
Make it your gain, suffer no shame
Love is the only law to obey
Love is the only law to obey
Love is the only law to obey
I don't give a... what they say
I obey, you obey, she obey, he obey
We obey, you obey, I obey, you obey
She obey, we obey, you obey, we obey
Everyone, everyone, everyone
Love is the only law to obey
The law of life, the law of life
The law of life
Pains Of Life lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
This song is for all the children
This song is for all the children
You can't enter Mount Zion
Jah said if you ain't like a child
You can't enter Mount Zion
Mount Zion, Mount Zion, Mount Zion
Mama want you to be what she wants you to be
You got to be what you got to be
Yes everyone suffers from the pains of life
And everyone suffers from the pains of life
Pains of life, pains of life, the pains of life
Everyone suffers from the pains of life
Everyone suffers from the pains of life
Pains of life, pains of life, the pains of life
This song is for all the children
This song is for all the children
Jah said if you ain't like a child
You can't enter Mount Zion
Jah said if you ain't like a child
You can't enter Mount Zion
Oh Mount Zion, Mount Zion, Mount Zion

Urb-an music, urb-an music, urb-an music
Urb-an music, urb-an music, urb-an music
Lord they fight it so
And I bet they don't even know

And they say it can control you
So the higher ones know

All You Got lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
We love reggae music

Peace not war

Well easy, well hard
Can't sit and reason with hypocrites
Just teasing, that's all
Can't sit and eat with hypocrites
We love reggae music

What burden, what tasks
Can't be dealt with diplomats?
Which pardon should we ask
Can't be given by aristocrats
We love reggae music
All you got
We love happiness
All you got
Peace not war
Let's make some joy
In a dub wise
Dem dub wise
Dem dub dance
Can't be done by stiff necks
Now let's dance
And you take a chance
But you can't complete with roots man
We love reggae music
All you got, all you got
Happiness, treat me
Peace not war, no war
Let's make, we wanna make some joy
Let's do it
Well, well well well well well easy, well hard
Can't sit and reason with hypocrites
They are just teasing brother that's all
Can't sit and eat with hypocrites
We love reggae music, all you got
We love happiness, yes I will do my best
Peace not war, no no war
Let's just make some joy, choose it
Heavy music, heavy music, heavy music
Music of the bird, music of the sea
The music which is to be, reggae music
R & B, a soul, rock and roll
This a music, a reggae music, a reggae music
All music, universal language, music, music music
Conscious Party lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
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
