Wishing On a Star
Nothing they can do
can stop this walk I'm on
Could be millions of miles in my way
till I reach my destination
So come, come, come talk to me
make we walk and reason
Come, come, come talk to me
some birds they're singing
some people they're wishing on a star
Oh lord, they're wishing on a star
A rich man took a walk in my shoes
now we've got them barefoot blues
Your life depends on the road you choose
keep on the right track
Cuz Rasta culture people without violence
we’re on the attack
Pon the attack, we come Pon the attack
Sweet reggae music come straight nonstop ×2
There are so many steeped in violence
it seems like the bitter end
They plot and scheme as if no tomorrow
these things we must transcend
Give up praises unto the Most High
in each and every action
so that when you get home from your works
you can enjoy the satisfaction
that is your life
And you won't be wishing on a star
Wish wishing, wishing on a star.×2

Prophecy Fulfillment
See them come with their con man games
All grabbing, grabbing
licky lickin lick shots
And I man know that they must be insane
to stand in my face, ‘n try and fool me like that
Cus them a burn I not when the fire gets hot
Prophecy fulfillment
Whether you're ready or not 2x
They spend so much time anticipating
that when their Luck get shot, heads get hot
And fill up the air with all their berating
because we save up our cash and put food in the pot
See them a burn I not, when the Fire gets hot
Prophecy fulfillment
Whether you're ready or not 2x
They spend so much time in hot debate
(Them a kick pot)
to make up these rules and regulate
(And lick shot)
to keep people poor they calculate
(A go burn, fire gets hot)
And when the poor get a bust
(Fire fire fire fire burn ya)
the rich get breaks
(Jailhouse rock)
So come up now, Rasta don't be late
no stumbling block, don't hesitate
And we'll Trod through the land
some pure vibration
Yea we'll trod to the land
of pure elation
Come on children, trod on

The River
I’ll say I’ve walked many roads
looking for some answers
and yes I will walk many more
I said I've walked many roads
looking for some answers
I have no idea what life has in store
for me, or for you
So when the I comes
perhaps we'll overstand
But the I walk is long
Jah never go away little children
you've got to be strong
Take Love and live by by the river
Take Life and live by the river
Give Love and bring it to the river
Let the waters wash them clean
Well the river's got to roll
Jordan Rivers got to roll
I'd love to live by the river
where there's food aplenty
Life there is cool and calm
air there is sweet and fragrant
water cool and clear
where Jah Jah is so near
Take Love and live by by the river
Take Life and live by the river
Give Love and bring it to the river
Let the waters wash them clean
Well the river got to roll
Jordan River got to roll
I love to live by the river
let the waters wash them clean
Listen to the bubble, the bubble of the water 2x

What About Me
05:23
|

What about me?
You've poisoned my cool waters
you've cut down my green trees
and the food that you feed my children
is the source of their disease
My world is slowly falling down
and the air is not fit to breathe
and those of us who care enough
have to do something
oh what you going to do about me 2x
Your newspapers,
they just put you on
They'll never tell you the whole story
They just put your young ideas down
and I was wondering
if this was the end of their pride and glory
oh what you gonna do about me ×4
‘Cuz I’ve worked in your factories
and I’ve studied in your schools
We fill your penitentiary and your military too
We can feel the future trembling
as the word is passed around
If you stick up for what you believe
be prepared to be cut down
oh what you gonna do about me ×4
‘Cuz I feel like a stranger
in the land where I was born
I live just like an outlaw
always on the run
They got me
Always on the run ×4
All your soldiers smoke marijuana
can't put put them behind the bars
‘Cuz most of what you taught them to do
is against most of your laws
We are all fugitives from injustice
but we're going to be free
because your rules and regulations
don't do good things for we
Oh, what you gonna do about me ×4
‘Cuz you may be stronger now
but my time will come around
You keep adding to my numbers
as you shoot my people down
We can feel the future trembling
as the word has passed around
We will stick up for what we know
We're prepared to be cut down
oh what you gonna do about me x4
‘Cuz I live like a stranger
in the land where I was born
I live just like an outlaw
always on the run
They got me
always on the run x4
Always ×4
Don't ask me why
no don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
cuz I would like to know

Nice Up
Listen evil man, are you listening to this?
I can't live in this world you invent
with the lies that you speak
the people that you cheat
Wind up alone in Babylon begging pardon
and I will tell you straight
you can't come in my garden
so nice up
I said nice up
And listen up evil man, are you listening to me?
Can't take the youth spirit for your own glory
yeah, keep up trying I promise you'll be sorry
‘Cuz them souls gonna march to Zion
and Babylon will pay for killing and lying
s nice up x4
Nice up the land for the sisters and brothers
Cice up the land for the fathers and mothers
The little children you see on the street
Grow food for their bellies
put shoes on their feet
and nice up ×4
I want you to remember giant that you are
it's in memory of David that I wear this star
With help from Jah, and this song I sing
you will fall like Goliath, with a stone from my sling
so I say to you again man, be responsible
and nice up×4
‘Cuz I don't want to see you be left waiting
and I can't bear to watch my brethren die
I can't abide no killing nor hating
Don't you know war make people die
Don't you know war make people cry
Don't you know what make mama cry, Lord have mercy
So come up now for the fires raging
listen to this proposal I'm staging
Put aside all the war that you're waging
And let the people live
in peace, and love, and unity
Right now

to spread some kind vibration

See Jah call his children

If today you hear his voice

Take A Giant Step
So you played at love and lost
Your poor heart turned to frost
Honey I will melt your heart again
Remembering when you was a child
woke up in the morning smiled
It's time you felt like that again
Ain't no percentage in living in the past
It’s time you learn to live again at last
Come with me leave your yesterday behind
and take a giant step outside your mind
So you say there's no relief
You're stuck in your grief
Honey I swear I'll prove you wrong
Don't sit there in your lonely room
staring out at the gloom
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the Taste of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen
Come with me, leave your yesterday behind
and take a giant step outside your mind
So you played at love and lost
Your poor heart turned to frost
Honey I will melt your heart again
Don't sit there in your lonely room
staring out at the gloom
Honey that's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green
and every day holds wonders to be seen
Come with me leave your yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind
Take a step take a giant step
Take a step take a giant step
Take a giant step outside your mind x2

So sensi cola quench your thirst
Place your orders overstock’s in store

It is a Blessed Sacrament
so I'm gonna lick a little taste of it

Eyes To See
Written by Solomon NewTree, (NewTree Publishing, ASCAP)
If you've got eyes to see
open them and see
how we suffer
yes we suffer
And if you've got ears to hear
open them and hear
How the children wail
I mean they cry themselves to sleep
For Redemption waits
in the hearts of man
open your mind
that you might over stand
that one is waiting
with open hands
and love will lead us, yes,
to the promised land
oh Lord, Jah Rastafari
King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Jah, Rastafari
Emperor Selassie I
Jah, Rastafari
King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Jah, Rastafari
Babylon a crumble
like the walls of Jericho
the wicked a bumble
They surely have to go
Said babylon a crumble
like the walls of Jericho
the wicked a fumble
They surely have to go
cuz we're clearing the way
for the King of Kings
and our hearts
salvation rings
yes we're clearing the way
For the king of kings
and in our hearts
salvation rings
chorus
so if you've got eyes to see
open them and see
how we suffer
yeah, we suffer
If you've got ears to hear
open them and hear
how the children wail
I mean they cry themselves to sleep

Longer Days
We need longer days
longer days for the good vibes
Give Jah thanks and praise
every day for your good life
Ya see, I wake up in the morning
got to do good works
and if the children run come ask I
what shall we do first
I say we’ll give Jah thanks and praises for another day
and if you live clean in Jah sight I know you'll never go astray
Chorus
Cuz now it's early evening
here beneath my tree
and if you want to come drink cool water
run come drink with me
and we'll give Jah thanks and praises for another meal
and if you live life like you should
you'll know exactly how I feel
Chorus
Cuz now the Moon is shining
shining down on me
as I sit here in my yard
relaxing with my family
and we're giving Jah thanks and praises for another day
and if you takes me in my sleep
you’ll know that I'll be on my way
To those longer days
longer days for the good vibes
Give Jah thanks and praise
every day for your good life
