Raw Riddim lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Hop bop but don't call the cop

Kozmik lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
I know there are many forces
That would not like to see
Our dreams become a reality

But I feel the vibes, forces around me

Goodtime lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Let's have a good time
Though the world is cruel and blind

With plenty of food to eat, and plenty drink to drink
So you know what I mean when I say
Liberate yourself from the state that you're in
It stink, it stink, it stink
Mi sey to dance if you have to but don't
Take no chance
To be deceived, yeah

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 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

This one is special for all the ladies

Generation lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
Many generation have passed away
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
This generation will make the change
How could I dream that this will go on
For more many years, until a kid become a man
Fighting for freedom, oh it's a deadly thing
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
Like they say we were born in sin, well
Young blood ina the struggle
Now is the time, no more talk and play
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
My generation will make the change, I'm so glad to see
This generation will make the change, hard as it may be
My generation will make the change, this ain't no talk no cheap
This generation will make the change, this ain't no weep no weep
My generation will make the change
This generation will make the change
My generation will make the change
This generation will make the change
My generation will make the change
This generation will make the change
