Respect

You've got to respect my vision of life
because I do the same for you
Respect my vision of life
Because I do the same
Sometimes you're scared to live
Because you're scared to die
Be humble, get better and better
And one day you will see
Be humble, get better and better
And one day you will see

You have to understand that I work hands,
my heart, my brains
I don't need no boss around me
I'm my own master
I'm my own master

You've got to respect my vision of life
because I do the same for you
Respect my vision of life
Because I do the same
You've got to respect my vision of life
because I do the same for you
Respect my vision of life
Because I do the same for you

I see selfish people around me…

The Strike

Children were smiling
before the strike began
bredren were playing
With sistren in a park
Army Isn’t caring
Of where each soldier hits
They follow military ordering
Are destroying many streets
They made them guilty
They drove them under pressure
Victims feel not in safety
They're lost their culture

Why such violence it's carried on
Why are there always wars inna babylon
Why do government take their own decisions
And why do they sow the confusion (yeah-aaa)

Children are crying
Cause Gaza is burning
Bredren are suffering,
Sistren are in the dark.
The world is dying,
Getting worse everyday,
It’s a bad way of living,
A sad thing to say.

Why such violence it's carried on
Why are there always wars inna babylon
Why do government take their own decisions
And why do they sow the confusion (yeah-aaa)

We want to see smile on your face,
No more guns in yours hands, bless !
Throw away your hate,
Look around you, don’t wait.
We need a new vision,
A conscious population,
No strikes everyday,
No more strikes everyday.

Riverside

By this river, i feel in harmony
I and i look at the sky
Smokin' a blueberry
It gives me fever, so i take it easy
I fly with my third eye
In this reality, because

Sometimes you need to fight
Sometimes you need to rest
Do you think human rights,
Is a spiritual test ?

Far from da city
Close to my quest
I and i livin’ easy
From the south to the west
Rastaman livin’ free
And no under arrest
Babylon want you invest
Come share you’re my guest

By this river
It gives me fever
Far from da city
Livinin’ easy

By this river
It gives me fever
Far from da city
Livinin’ easy

By this river, later in the night
Moon makes it silver and me so high
From my hammock, i 'm listenin' water
Don't need nothing more, i'm whistling'
Easy going after a nice swim
And thinkin' about no nothin'

Sometimes you ‘ve got to pray
Sometimes you‘ve got to write for him
Do you think lord of lords
Needs to hear so much words ?

Far from da city
Close to my quest
I and i livin’ easy
From the south to the west
Rastaman livin’ free
And no under arrest
Babylon want you invest
Come share you’re my guest

Far from my body
Close to this river
Happiness is my hobby
Autumn 'till summer
Mister Roots livin' free
He would like to be a fisher
For this don't need a degree
Would like to be clever

Wrong Place

This morning, the sun has risen
I ain't seen it for a long time
Nothing could be nicer to start this day
I looked up at the sky and it was nearly clear
The show was beautiful and the sight breathtaking
And I saw the moon reflecting again on this lake
Just before, before it was slowly setting

The wind reminds me each night away from home, stuck between the fear and death
The whistle of bullets that makes me reviving my fear to lose my life
There's much yet to reveal to you, that I don't know where where to start
There's much yet to reveal to you, beloved humanity (oh oh)

I kept on walking without wanting to stop
I took the first path that I, that I found
I headed along the stream which flows from the lake
I didn't know where I was going, but I was on my way
A light and cool breeze tickled the tip of my nose
It was enough for me to bring me back the smile
But not strong enough to make me forget this war.

The wind reminds me each night away from home, stuck between the fear and death
The whistle of bullets that makes me reviving my fear to lose my life
There's much yet to reveal to you, that I don't know where where to start
There's much yet to reveal to you, beloved humanity (oh oh)

Even today I walk through the fields
I've been walking for a few month and now I'm tired
Time and time again I thought about my beloved
I feed my courage on the last image of her face.
It gives me great hope to see her again one day.
I smell a pleasant scent well-known to me
And now, my sweetheart here I am

Fawaka

I say fa wa ka, bongiorno should I say fa i go
I say assalam'alaykoum, merci shukran abun
I say shalom ma kore, say kia ora i tena koe
Tudo bem, double bagush we're gonna walk in this bush

I wanna speak in every langage
To talk with you my friend
I wanna learn from every culture
So hungry to learn
I wanna play with all this instrument
To share with you my friend
I wanna put my skankin' shoes tonight
To dance with you until the morning light

Everyday I see and everyday I met
People behind their screens, stuck on internet
Youth man get up
Realise your dreams you deserve much better
than Facebook or Twitter
Herb can be greener
Looser can be winner
You can be so much stronger
If you think that's easier

I wanna speak in every langage
To talk with you my friend
I wanna learn from every culture
So hungry to learn
I wanna play with all this instrument
To share with you my friend
I wanna put my skankin' shoes tonight
To dance with you until the morning light

Like Weed

Oh yes for sure, we smoke weed.. I know but..
French laws about marijuanah I fuck off
If you're agree
when a policeman cut your tree
Feel ok about it
No it's not my case I'm sorry about it
Since first year I live here
And I've lent my land to my friend
You started to get questions in your head
You went to my garden twice time by night
And found three plants about nine inch each
Tryin' to pick me up to your office, fast !

Please check me out your passport and your visas
Do you know Mr.Roots ?
Where is he ?
Yeah that's me I'm stuck inna police station
They ask me to answer to them fuckin' questions
I spent a lot of time there
They took pictures of me
I felt like I was a terrorist
But I'm just a herbalist

Everybody smoke marijuana
put your hands up in the air
Breizh is in Faya
Put your hands up in the air
Put your dreadlocks in the air
like smokin' some aya
but I prefer ganjah
Two hours later watin' in vain for justice tryin' to hide my rage about
They bring me back to my swwet home and now
They want to play to play chess with me everyday
It's like if they think It's awesome but I'll get my revenge 'ause this game is not done
Yes , I know one day we will be free forever and ever (Yeah)

I had a dream that one day herb will be legalize all arournd the world
If we're feelin' ok and stay all together
Everybody smoke marijuana
put your hands up in the air
Breizh is in Faya
Put your hands up in the air
Put your dreadlocks in the air
like smokin' some aya
but I prefer ganjah

Light

And Jah Jah knows,
That Everybody feels pain
Jah knows us
Jah knows his creation

Are you feeling Irie
When Jah is by your side
Jah loves us
Jah loves his creation

Like you breda I'm just a dust from the space
Like you sista
I'm nothing and i'm all
Sunlight makes us shining
Moonlight makes us dreaming
Makes us dreaming

Because light Is everything
Light help us to look
Through the past

Meditation

I’m not a rastaman, nor have I ever claimed to be
I’ve never been one of those who believe in Jah
Even if I don’t have dreadlocks it won’t change my thoughts
It’s not going to upset my will to play reggae music

Meditation, and the time has come for you to free your mind
Meditation, close your eyes and (get) concentrate on your breathing
Meditation, close your eyes, your eyes ...

Since the beginning to stop never was an option
We want to make you move positively wherever we can
Take your time and let yourself be carried by this mystical riddim
Put all your worries aside and let you be cradled by this feeling.

Meditation, and the time has come for you to free your mind
Meditation, close your eyes and (get) concentrate on your breathing
Meditation, close your eyes, your eyes ...

Cultivate peace and tranquillity why not grow spiritual passivity
And you will know how deeply it can feed your soul
It can feed your soul, it can feed your soul
Feed your soul

Meditation, and the time has come for you to free your mind
Meditation, close your eyes and (get) concentrate on your breathing
Meditation, close them tight tight tight and enjoy meditation

Soldiers of peace

We ‘ve been aware for quite a long time
Our people suffered in an eternal conflict
Such as enslavement, colonization
And we are facing now the drop of our cultural roots
No one has so far been able to improve the situation
Not even a wise man full of goodness
Did survive for enough time to win the fight
Oh not enough to win the fight

That’s why we call upon your reflexion, education and mobilization
Have the strength to think by yourself, stop to be influenced by money
And become a soldier of Peace to find your livity.

Time has gone in Babylon
And until now nothing has changed
Western leaders are supporting dictators
Which serve their interests because they always want more and more
While African children have to learn how to live with starvation
Wars broke out because of politicians greed
Such a heavy record which hurt so many people
It has has hurted so many people

Hemp Story

This morning the sun has risen
I ain’t seen it for a long time
Suddenly an idea grows in my mind
I’ve never thought before seriously about this plant

You can be poor you can be rich
Hard worker or be lazy
You can be clever or be a fool
And If you are Irie, it should be cool

You must already have heard about my plant
Get ready for my rocksteady’s hemp story
Rocksteady’s hemp story, rocksteady’s hemp story

Do you like my hemp story bro, hey hey hear that …

You can make paper, insulate your houses
Put some in your carter even make your clothes
It’s free and it grows any seasons
Hemp is older than me and our civilization.
