Play The Game Right lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Yes, we've got to play this game right
In this game of life no one wants to lose
Heh, heh, heh

Let me tell you what you got
You got to choose it
Give a little, give a little more

Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
Play the game right
Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
We're playin' for our life

Life is life, and day to day
We got to live our lives to the fullest
We got to play the game right
No more mistakes, my friends
This time we're playin' for no trophy
We're playin' for our life, we're playin' for our life

Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
Play the game right
Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
We're playin' for our life

In life there's lots of visions
Oh, visions of reality
But there are certain people
Trying to bring us indignity
They say we lose some, we win some
But now we're gonna gain victory, yeh

Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
Play the game right
Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
We're playin' for our life

So treat your future right now, you know
Or you ain't gonna have no future
So dig it

Due to the great separation
That we the black people have seen
And the leaders great miscalculation
What all the people need, hey
We can't afford to lose the game, now, now
We're playing for our life, so stand up for your right

Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
Play the game right
Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey

Give a little, give a little, give a little more
Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
Give a little more for the children

Spa baba dey, spa baba dey, spa baba dey
Give a little, give a little more

E a consciência do que somos e podemos é o fogo da esperança

Believe In Yourself (Arthur Theme Song) lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Every day when you're walking down the street
Everybody that you meet
Has an original point of view

And I say, "Hey!"
What a wonderful kind of day
Where you can learn to work and play
And get along with each other

You got to listen to your heart
Listen to the beat
Listen to the rhythm
The rhythm of the street

Open up your eyes
Open up your ears
Get together
And make things better
By working together

It's a simple message and it comes from the heart
Believe in yourself (believe in yourself)
Well, that's the place to start (to start)

And I say, "Hey!"
What a wonderful kind of day
Where you learn to work and play
And get along with each other

Hey!
What a wonderful kind of day
What a wonderful kind of day
Hey!

Could You Be Loved lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?

Don't let them fool ya
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)

Don't let them change ya, oh
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no
We've got a life to live
They say: only - only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive! Eh

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something! (Say something!)
Say something! Say something! (Could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something! Reggae, reggae
Say something! Rockers, rockers
Say something! Reggae, reggae
Say something! Rockers, rockers
Say something! (Could you be loved?)
Say something! Uh
Say something! Come on
Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)

Free To Be...A Family lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

We're all branches of the same family tree
But every family's different, don't you know?
Reaching for the sun comes very naturally
We've only got to let each other grow

I've got a home
I've found my place
I live with people
Who are glad to see my face

We're free to be
You and me
And you and me
We're free to be... a family

We're all working in the same big marching band
But drums and horns have different things to say
All together we'll ring music through the land
We've only got to let each other play

I've got a place
I've found my home
I'm only solo
When I want to be alone

We're free to be
You and me
And you and me
We're free to be... a family

So many groups in the family soup
So many combinations
Might be people who look like you
Or they might be no relation

Birds of a feather, they flock together
Yes, sometimes they do
But if a little bird joins an elephant herd
Hey, that's a family, too

We're all cooking up the same big barbeque
But we like spicy, you like sticky sweet
Maybe we can trade our recipe with you
Then how about we help each other eat

This is my home
These are my folks
These are our secrets
And our habits and our jokes

We're free to be
You and me
And you and me
We're free to be... a family

We're free to be
You and me
And you and me
We're free to be... a family

Standing up to man made climate change

Demanding the justice that we desire

HOME lyrics - Mathieu Koss & Ziggy Marley

Roller coaster
Got me up down
Last night under neon lights
So late, so long
In a new day with an old song
Sunrise, red eyes, it's time

Oh, it's been calling me, calling me, calling me, oh-oh
It's been pulling me, pulling me

Tired of running away
Tired of holding my breath, I see
New faces every day
But one place I cannot forget
Deep in the crowd now
But still feel alone
Tired of running away

Time to make my way back home
Make my way back
Make my way back home
Make my way back

So Jah, I know
I'll find a place someday
Don't know how I'm gonna make it there
I know I'll go
On a wing and prayer
Sunrise, red eyes, it's time

Tired of running away
Tired of holding my breath, I see
New faces every day
But one place I cannot forget
Deep in the crowd now
But still feel alone
Tired of running away

Time to make my way back home
Make my way back home
Make my way back
Make my way back

Oh, it's been calling me, calling me, calling me, oh-oh
It's been pulling me, pulling me
Oh, it's been calling me, calling me, calling me, oh-oh
It's been pulling me, pulling me

Tired of running away
Tired of holding my breath
Tired of running away

Time to make my way back home
Make my way back
Make my way back home
Make my way back
Make my way back home
(Find my way back home
Find my way back home
Oh Lord)
Got to find my way back home

Love Power lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Love power, a little love power
It's stronger than de hurricane
And softer than de summer rain
Oh, love power (what kind of power) a little love power

And make your life bright as de rainbow

And smile de warm sweet smile
And then your heart come to understand

Lyin' In Bed lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Praise god I say, praise god each day
He helped me to overcome
I remember once I couldn't get out of bed
So I sing and say... yeah

Lying in bed got nothin' to do
No one to rub my head
Playing my guitar my only friend
It's gonna last me till the end
Don't wanna land it
Wanna get out instead
I wanna feel free with activity

Above my bed bob face us all
Looking at me so passionately
Well in his eyes I saw the truth
The truth of a rastaman
The truth of a higher man

To the bridge
Don't wanna land it
Wanna get out instead
I wanna feel free with activity
Well I got lots and lots of company yeah
Alot of good vibes flowing around me
Nurses coming and wondering, o god
Is this really Ziggy Marley

Lying in bed got nothin' to do
No one to rub my head
Strumming my guitar my only friend
It's gonna last me till the end

Above my bed bob face us all, my daddy
Looking at me so passionately, lil brother
Well in his eyes I saw the truth, my name
The truth of a rastaman
The truth of a higherman

Rastafari no, I n I give praises
I n I thank Jah for, his health
If it was not for him
What would I, what would I've done
So I say amen

Don't wanna land it
Wanna get out instead
I wanna feel free with activity
Don't wanna land it
Wanna get out instead
I wanna feel free with activity
Don't wanna land it
Wanna get out instead
I wanna feel free with activity

Spin It Faster lyrics - Ben Harper & Ziggy Marley

DJ play that song for me
With the one drop beat
I'm not here to lean on the wall
Got to move my feet
I'm your everlaster
I'm your everlaster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster

Some need religion
Some just need a plan
Better use too much butter
Than to burn the pan
Reverend, priest, preacher and a pastor
Reverend, priest, preacher and a pastor
Spin it faster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster

Repetition is to conviction
What a hammer is to a stone
Hard times they will come
But hard times they'll be gone

Go ahead and ask her
Go ahead and ask her
Spin it faster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster
Spin it faster

The Lucky One lyrics - Ziggy Marley (feat. Stephen Marley)

I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

I never knew true love could be true
Till I got my eyes on you
Wondering how it feels so right
Opening up my mind tonight
A little bit'll take me a long way
I get my blessings every day
Wondering how it feels so nice
Opening up my heart tonight

I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

Ay
Taking in the feelings I won't define
You are the light that makes me shine
Living in a world that's full of lies
Only the real one will survive
Nobody, nobody really knows
How this love started to grow
They sit and wonder all the time
How we lit in this story of mine

I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one, yeah
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one
She said it
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one

[?]

I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one, yeah
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one
She said it
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one
She said
She said she is lucky, I said no, I'm the lucky one
No, I'm the lucky one
No, I'm the lucky one
No, I'm the lucky one
I am the lucky one
I am the lucky one

Some time bums
Oh, Human Race
If we don't make haste to find true love
Gonna be some time bums

In a false world

Oh, Human Race
If we don't make haste to find true love

All you traitors be still
