Diamond City lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone, yea

Well, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Well, I've seen a crime to it I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Oh diamond city, let me take you there, well well well

There everyday there's a need for revolution
She's like a mother who denies her newborn milk
Lost are the thrills of life as we know them
They one man swim yet many more are drowning

Well, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Yes, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
In a diamond city let me take you there, well well well

Surely we can help each other in this earth
Ain't no need to be greedy or too proud, no need
Because the color of our skin
They gave us no chance to win

Well, I've seen a crime to it I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Well, I've seen a crime to it I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Oh diamond city, with a broken heart

We will fight for our rights
We will fight for africa
We will fight for our freedom
Did you hear?
We will fight for africa

I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Yes, I've seen a crime where are the cops this time
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Oh diamond city, with a broken heart
Oh diamond city, come here, let me take you there
Let me take you there, I'll take you there

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
Them could a big and bad
Have you ever seen love mad
Is not a big ak
Is not a nuclear bomb
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
...

Living

Live it up

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

But this time we naah laugh at all
A prudent man he seeketh knowledge

Only a fool lean up on his folly
The wicked heart knows pure bitterness
I'm saying though never get a righteous man vex
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
This time we naah laugh it off

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
I tell you this never get a righteous man vex
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

Hand To Mouth lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Power to the workers
More power
Power to the workers
We need more power
Power to the workers
Got to have more power
Power to the workers
We need more power

Free zone workers you working hard everyday
But all the work you do don't get enough pay
I mad I still don't know why I still don't know why
Is minimum wage for your sufferation have no more toleration

Hand to mouth can't work
Hand to mouth can't work
Hand to mouth business no it can't work
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
Is little bit a pay for your contribution and you mean so much to the nation

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
Ask some a them
Them telling short long
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
Naah sow no good seed from weh day
Naah get enough food weh day
Our nurses saving lives everyday
But all the lives you save you don't get enough pay

I mad I still don't know why
I still don't know why
Is little bit a pay for your life savings
What a grave they're digging
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
Mad mad mad mad

Is little bit a pay for your mama too and
Your sister got to shop for two
Oh civil servants you working hard everyday and
You sweating out for your pay
But I man still don't know why

Still don't know why is little bit
A pay everyday what you got to take away
Woy! woy! woy! woy! woy!

Me say me naah get enough good from weh day
All the talk we talk is like we naah
Naah get no good yood from weh day all the bawl we bawl
Say them no hear wha we a say
Workers a the backbone a the whole island
Don't treat them right is total confusion
Can't go no doctor for no medication
School but no teacher no education
Pay more dollars to the foundation
Naah get enough pay from weh day musician a suffer but a play
Same way engineer a bawl how him pay too small
Can't build him house with no concrete wall
Bass man a cry bout him can't get string
Have the contacts and can't bring them in raggamuffin dj and sing

Lord naah get enough good from weh day
All the talk we talk is like we naah Lord
Naah get no good yood from weh day
All the bawl we bawl say them no hear wha we a say
Watching everything go up in inflation
Food price go up and man pay a god down
Some a them
Them telling short
Long
Ragga ragga deh pon the version

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
'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

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

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

Watch it baby love, you enter ina my zone

Police pass through, don't even try and stop it

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

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

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...

From the truth in your mind

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

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

Tired of being the foot stool of another man

Can't take heartache
Can't take

Another problem with a woman again
Another problem with a woman again
Another problem with a woman again

Sometimes it's hard to express yourself
To get, get things offa your chest, my friend
Tell you one more time

Sometimes it's hard to express
You know what I mean Robbie
To get, get things off my chest
Gonna give you one more chance

You know what I mean Robbie
Say, you know what I mean Robbie
I know you got them too
A woman again

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

Small People lyrics - Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Yea children

Small people one day will get big
And those who they call minority
Are most of the people that you see
Don't you ever abuse humble man

Don't be afraid to wake up
Don't be afraid to wake up
Don't be afraid of another day
Iya get ready, oh yeah!

Walking down the street
Can't afford to rest my feet
I just can't agree, with my environment
I would like to see, what can be done
About it

Hey I'm not afraid to wake up
I'm not afraid to wake up
No I'm not afraid of another day
I am ready oh yeah

Mmmh mmh mmh, woe woe woo woe
Mmmh mmh mmh, woe woe woo woe

Living in this time
Got so much things on my mind
Living in this world
I can't afford to lose control
Speak up for your right
Expect it going be a fight
Better a free man than a slave
Better a real man any day

What did you say
Mi never hear what you say, little while a
Go
People get ready, oh hey

A suh wi like, a suh wi like it

Small people one day will get big
Those they call minority
Most of the people that you see
Don't you ever abuse, not one humble man

Small people must get big
Small people they must get big
Small people one day must get big
Small people oh make the world go round

Come make the world go round

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
So good so right so good so, so good so right so good so

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

But you keep on watching the time
Wondering what's on my mind
So you say you can't stay too long, cause
You know what I'm all a...
What I'm all about, what I'm all about
I don't have to sing and shout, what I'm all about
You know what I'm all about

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

Yes it's the truth it's the fact, I'm coming
To you straight from
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
You just got to be yourself

Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Yea, feel so good about something so
Right could it last another night
A feel so good about something so right
A feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night

So good so right so good so, so good so right so good so
So good so right so good s, so good so right so good so

Yes it is the strife of my life, to explain what's in my brain
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
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

A feel so right could it last another night
A feel so good something so right, so good
Lord, I said I feel so right

A feel so good, oh could it last another night

A feel so right, oh could it last another night
A feel so good oh could it last another night
A feel so right oh could it last another night
So good, o right, so good, so right, so good, so good, so right

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
