If you get down and you quarrel everyday
You are saying prayers to the devils, I say.
Why not help one another on the way?
Make it much easier. (Just a little bit easier)
[Verse 2]
Say you just can't live that negative way
If you know what I mean
Make way for the positive day
Because it's news (new day) - news and days
New time (new time), and if it's a new feeling (new feeling)
Said it's a new Zion (new sign)
Oh, what a new day!

Johnny Was A Good Man
03:48
|
|||
Woman hold her head and cry,
'Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
From a stray bullet.
Woman hold her head and cry;
Explaining to her was a passerby
Who saw the woman cry
Wondering how can she work it out,
Now she knows that the wages of sin is death
Gift of Jah is life
She cried: I - I know!
"Johnny was a good man," I - I know!
(never did a thing wrong)
"Johnny was a good, good, good,
good, good, good, good, good,
Good, good, good man", (Johnny was good man)
She cried - she cried!
Woman hold her head and cry,
As her son had been shot down in the street and died
Just because of the system.
Woman hold her head and cry;
Comforting her I was passing by.
She complained, then she cry:
I know now,
no I know, I know now: (Johnny was a good man)
Said I know (Never did a thing wrong)
(Johnny was a good man)
Can a woman tender care, she cried, (Never did a thing wrong)
Cease towards the child she bear? (Johnny was a good man)
Woman cry, woman - (Never did a thing wrong)
She cried, She cried (Johnny was a good man)
Can a woman tender care
Cease towards the child she bear? (Never did a thing wrong)
(Johnny was a good man)

Crazy Baldhead

Them crazy, them crazy -
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town;
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of our town.
I and I build a cabin;
I and I plant the corn;
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country?
Now you look me with that scorn,
Then you eat up all my corn.
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase them crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town!
(..)
Build your penitentiary, we build your schools,
Brainwash education to make us the fools.
Hate is your reward for our love,
Telling us of your God above.
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town!
(..)
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town!
Here comes the conman
Coming with his con plan.
We won't take no bribe;
We've got [to] stay alive.
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town.

Who the Cap Fit
04:43
|
|||
Man to man is so unjust, children:
Ya don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy
Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Said ah throw meh corn, me no call no fowl
Ah saying, "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk"
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who Jah bless, no one curse
Thank God, we're past the worst
Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
Ah lot of people would run away
And who the cap fit let them wear it!
Who the (cap fit) let them (wear it)!
And then ah-gonna throw me corn
And then ah-gonna call no fowl
And then ah-gonna "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk"
(..)
Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you, yeah!
And if night should turn to day, now
Ah lot of people would run away, yeah!
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl
Ah-saying: "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk"
... : "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk"
Throw meh corn (cook-cook-cook)
Me call no fowl (cluk-cluk-cluk)

The sun shall not smite I by day
Nor the moon by night
And everything that I do
Shall be upfull and right
And if it's all night
It got to be all right!
If it's all night

Your mamma won't lose this one
You're the lucky one under the sun
If you make me move
Then you know you got the groove:
All night, it's all right!
All night, yeah! It's all right!
Working on a forklift
In the night shift
Working on a night shift
With the forklift
from A.M. (Did you say that? Why did you say that?)

War
03:36
|
|||
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another inferior is finally and permanently discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war; me say war
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race this a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war - war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique, South Africa
Sub-human bondage have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war; me say war
War in the east; war in the west
War up north; war down south
War - war, rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent will not know peace
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory of good over evil

Rasta your God is dead
But I and I know, Jah Jah!

Jah live! Children, yeah..
Jah Jah live! Children, yeah
