Don’t Pressure Me

Don’t try to pressure me with your contradicting hypocrisy
Cyan’t ya see di irony
That society try to place on me

We look fi di world to be free
A world bankrupt of morality
It won’t be you and me
We mus ask Jah to guide our history
So Don’t worry I with your medieval cry
Why you put your story pon me?
You can fi look to the sky for you piece of the pie
When it’s plain and simple to see

Don’t try to pressure me with your contradicting hypocrisy
Cyan’t ya see di irony
That society try to place on me

Jah give us strength to fight the struggle
A mickle make a muckle
Jah Jah cyan ya hear what I say

Jah give me wisdom and power to fight the final hour
Jah Jah cyan you hear what I pray

Dem a ramble when dem gamble foolish man show him hand
Dem a draw bad card it’s a façade
Dem a hit fight and haula dem a act like white collar
Why dem have fi struggle pon me

(sax solo)


Don’t try to worry I with your medieval cry

Dem a draw bad card it’s a façade
Dem a hit fight and haula dem a act like white collar
Why dem have fi struggle pon me
 
Sweet Kali Ganga

They smoke it down under
They call is Sweet Kali Ganga
They smoke it up north
They call it baked Alaska
They smoke it out west
Dem call it Sweet Sensimilla
Pass the kutchie and take a long draw

Rise up this morning
I hail up my Idren
Bring over the challis and put some sensi in
I love the Ichants, I love the sweet kali ganga
Break out the big torch and take a long draw.

Dem roll and dem twist it
Dem burn and dem blaze it
Dem smoke it every day until dem pushin up daisy
And when I take a big draw
Make my crazy days a lazy
Coughin and a chockin till my eyes all red and hazy

Fire pon now!

Come out come out, come out from the corner
Bring out your sensi and fire up your challis
I like the Ichants, I love the sweet kali ganga
Blaze up your big torch and take a long draw

Dem call it Sweet Kali Ganga

Dem roll and dem twist it
Dem burn and dem blaze it
Dem smoke it every day until dem pushin up daisy
And when I take a big draw
Make my crazy days a lazy
Coughin and a chockin till my eyes all red and hazy

They smoke it in a paper
They smoke it in a blunt ya
Some a wrap it in a fontu

Dem call it Sweet Kali Ganga
 

Believe Me

Gal been look left right a fi me

Dat no goal I n I mus achieve
Girl I wish you would believe

Believe Me – Not gonna take a your joke
Believe Me – Not gonna fall fi your hoax
Believe Me – Not gonna feel for no shame

Policeman can’t make me no collar
When you see me pon the station as a teary eyed baller.

Believe Me – Not gonna fall fi your hoax
Believe Me – Not gonna feel for no shame

Everyone know you’re a whiner with a line

Believe Me – Not gonna feel for no shame
Believe Me – Not gonna play in your game

This man a stand strong me not a do wrong

No worries cuz me live inna Boston

Policeman can’t make me no collar
When you see me pon the station as a teary eyed baller.

Our Thoughts

One man’s morality can’t be another mans legality
So don’t nurture the seeds seeds of negativity
Or they will grow or they will grow
Or they will grow oh ya or they will grow

Big old man sitting behind the desk barking orders to me
I live an honest life I never never hurt nobody
If you look into my eyes you would realize what I can see
It’s a mixed up world with too many laws for morality

Mr. bossman I need a raise you got me working all seven days
Through my gate come Mr. postman with dem bills I man mus have fi pay
From a Boston to the South Shore Noddaclu crew I lean a pon
Through dis ya reggae band and all dem fans show mus soon go on

Preach one love and positive vibe will keep you alive


One love and positive vibe will keep you alive
But its plain and simple to see dem a talk through dem plastic teeth
Some a wear lock pon dem head but see black and white instead
Show pon dance with their wolf clothes but me true bredren dem a know

Reggae beach day down a Hull we gonna play till di sun a come
Concrete jungle I nah gwan a fret reggae dance party is a sure bet
Some a dem a searching for truth ya can’t even find it under your roof
You can give all you have in the end Don’t mean your gonna make a true friend

Duck and Hide and runaway maybe catch I but not today
Send spaceship up way up to Mars nah ghetto youth have candy bars
You mus focus pon the right foot for soon come rubble and soot
You will not be here in the end tell it to your enemy tell it to your friend

Just some of dem thoughts
 
Not Long Time

Not long time till the Rasta mon come
Long time now, since the Iah mon come
Not long time till the Rasta mon come
Long time now, since the Iah mon come

Ya sit and ponder bout your future runnings
Whisper why why why does it seem so hard
The system gonna move forward without ya
Ya know time gwan mus let Jah guide ya

Me saying me saying

Not long time till the Rasta mon come
Long time now, since the Iah mon come ya hear and you say it and know it’s
Not long time till the Rasta mon come
Long time now, since the Iah mon come

Oh Jah Oh Jah Oh Jah protect and guide I
Oh Jah Oh Jah Oh Jah stand beside I

Sax solo


Oh Jah Oh Jah Oh Jah protect and guide I
Oh Jah Oh Jah Oh Jah stand beside I

Me find I way from the great lion
Singing praise praise praise look to me
I an I look to Jah each and every morning
Sittin pon earth while my hearts in Zion

Not long time till the Rasta mon come
Long time now, since the Iah mon come ya hear and you say it and know it’s
Not long time till the Rasta mon come
Long time now, since the Iah mon come
 
We know What We Know

If you live in a glass house, Peter Tosh says nuh throw no stones
Bob Marley give us with music we’ve never know
Jah send Luciano as a Messenger

Fi tired fi lick weed in a bush say Jacob Miller
We read bout dem trenchtown streets through Bounty Killer

We know-- what we know --from the teachings of jah ---(rastafari say) We know --the teaching of jah from -reggae music

Through sweet reggae music--- I have met the boss

Woman get mi money

Cuz he wont feed
Cause a stubborn donkey
Wont let you lead

Chorus

Dirty politricksters just make your laws
Cuz you know the children are a real good cause
Spending all your time in another land
Cuz the people here need a helping hand
 
Do you want to live


Every Time I see you standing round the corner
There this question I’ve always want to ask ya
Are you livin life to the fullest the way that you wanta
Cause you got to live and love no hurt your brother

Confusion

Gave my heart a one time
I was left sad and lonely
Gave my heart two times
Said she’d be my one and only
Gave my heart three times
I was left broken hearted
Gave my heart forth time
Wish this thing never started

Confusion
I don’t know what it means
Confusion Running around my brain
Confusion Gonna driving me insane
Confusion and I don’t know what to do
Confusion Confusion

Said she’d love me and then
She run around with my best friend
She said she’d always be there
Now she act like she just don’t care
She said she faithful and then
Now I am lost again
Said she’d always be true
Now I don’t know what to do

Confusion
I don’t know what it means
Confusion Running around my brain
Confusion Gonna driving me insane
Confusion and I don’t know what to do
Confusion Confusion

Gave my heart a one time

Said she’d be my one and only
Gave my heart three times
I was left broken hearted
Gave my heart forth time
Wish this thing never started

Confusion nothings what it seems
Confusion don’t know what it means
Confusion and I don’t know what to do
Confusion Confusion

Said she’d love me and then
She run around with my best friend
She said she’d always be there
Now she act like she just don’t care
She said she faithful and then

Said she’d always be true
Now I don’t know what to do
