Educated Fools lyrics - Damian Marley
[Intro]
[Bunny Wailer]
Hear this
Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree (really?)
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to the others, now listen you two
There's a strange rumor that can't be true
They say man was ascended from our noble race
But the very idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Or her baby, to ruin their lives
Yeah
The monkeys drift is mine (that's right)
[Chorus]
[Damian Marley]
Well educated fools they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot
Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet
Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat
Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet
[Verse]
[Damian Marley]
Imagine after so much chantin and preyers
But a revolutionary situation requires
Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers
Surround dem ends wid all some burning tires
Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials
Until dem send di reparation dollars
Warning to all di political scholars
Political thieves and political liars
Political cocaine and gun suppliers
Di whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires
Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers
Bound to feel the wrath of di real Bongonyahs
Hey don't fuck yourself next time you read out di budget
Di government case, ah poor people a judge it
Dem bring di guns but di youths dem ah bust it
Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet
Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabits
With a warm series of pain and havoc
Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it
Dem mek mi resort to violence di race get lead up
Somebody nah live up somebody goin dead up
BLOW!! Whole ah di garment dem red up
BLOW!! Car and apartment get bled up
Didn't you get ample warning
say poor people fed up
And still every morning
Dem try hold dem head up
Emperor Selassie calling
Youths dem fi dread up
Babylon is fallen
Gun nozzle bend up
Releasing di whole of di youth dem weh pen up
[Chorus]
[Damian Marley]
Well educated Demons they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
And Rastaman dem fuck it up and we go insight riot
Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet
Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat
Load up dem belly with the copper shot diet
[Verse]

Poor people across the world this is a special dedication

[Damian Marley]
Well educated fools they have ruined di world
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
Well educated fools they few in di world
And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
And start bank it up inna federal reserves
Well educated fools
Educated demons
And educated goons
Educated mules
Educated fools
Educated demons
And educated goons
[Verse]
[Bounty Killer]
???
All dem shady people dem nasty and sour
This is war last time me as block lower
Cause I represent black power
Well, Almighty God inna da statue a toa
A long time me go some more dey come to devour
??? power and show a
A trick dem with dem rice and flour, ya know
Me respect Rasta-Fearians
Me respect church goer
Dem fi no say poor people
On a boat can't no row a
Fire a flame me bring fi ya ya drug for ya
And anyone a go a dem fi know ya
[Verse]
[Treach]
Well I heard that man came from sands and other molecules
Way before bodies and barbecues
With a good side a bad side and still argue too
Before schemin and thievin and dreamin of gleamin and feenin
Even before Adam and Eve and even
Before it was about being the nicest or whose diamonds that are priceless
B.C. around Tutankhamun and Isis
On the continent of Africa
Pass out and tribes to create a character sold us shit
On earth was magical
Then the strangers came from the boat with the ropes
Chains that felt strange, they called it the slave game
The game changed
They had shackled like assholes
The Bloodclaat
So now a days the way prevent it is a thugs glock
Seen them rape and kill our children and women, the villain
The bill gon sort the black man how to kill men
Let's keep it real man
You can't harm me or scar me
Respect for me
History's priority with the Marleys

More Justice lyrics - Damian Marley
Youths dem ballin' out
Hear the ghetto youths dem ballin' out
Di youths dem callin' out
Hear the ghetto youths dem ballin' out
Di youths dem saying justice, ah, weh dem really need overall
Di way dem deal wid mankind all mi gal start ball
Justice ah weh di youths dem need overall
Di way dem deal wid mankind
Youths dem ballin' out
Hear the ghetto youths dem ballin' out

She nah go cry fi no guy inna nah 3 piece suit
Nor no pretty boy inna nuh crisp Nike boot
She nuh ball fi nah dapper, she nuh cry fi nah doop
She shed those lonely tears for di little ghetto youths weh ballin'
Stary, stary X-News and Gleaner
Foot might be dirty but his heart is much cleaner
Than those politicians fightin' down sensimillia
Get up every day dem want fi run this arena
Extra, extra read all about it
Ghetto youths in need and there is no doubt about it
If baby, want feed and can't do without it
Big 45 goin' to scout it
Youths dem ballin' out
Hear the ghetto youths dem ballin' out

Hear the ghetto youths dem ballin' out
Di youths dem saying justice, ah, weh dem really need overall
Di way dem deal wid mankind all mi gal start ball
Justice ah weh di youths dem need overall

Jack and Jill went up the hill to sell some marijuana
Buck up the fed dey broke jack crown and Jill
Came tumbling after, little Bo peep she had lost her sheep
To thief inna di pasture and if one try do dat again
It's goin' to bring disaster king of Kings and di Lord of Lords
Everlasting Ever laster inspire I and I to be a microphone blaster
We nah goin bow down to no slave master
Help di youths first and ask di question dem after
Youths dem ballin' out
Hear the ghetto youths dem ballin' out

It Was Written lyrics - Damian Marley
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
Well, did you know the pen is stronger than the knife
They can kill you once but they can't kill you twice
Did you know destruction of the flesh is not the ending to life?
Fear not of the anti-Christ
Did you know that I exist before the earth?
And did you know that my eyes are windows to the world?
Did you know you can't go, ah Zion and wear Jerry curls?
Can't tell the boys from the girls
Your body is just a vehicle transporting your soul
It's what's inside of people is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil, every day them flesh it grow old
Changes of the times take a toll
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer
Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer
A wester on his chest and Rastafari is his name
A gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain
Blessing that you all be got
Lessons taught you all forgot
Rasta call I shit you not
Do you remember Elijah and his chariot of flames
Same blood that run through my veins
Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer
Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much
That man shall endure forever more
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
Well, did you know the pen is stronger than the knife
They can kill you once but they can't kill you twice
Did you know destruction of the flesh is not the ending to life?
Fear not of the anti-Christ
Did you know that I exist before the earth?
And did you know that my eyes are windows to the world?
Did you know you can't go, ah Zion and wear Jerry curls?
Can't tell the boys from the girls
Your body is just a vehicle transporting your soul
It's what's inside of people is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil, every day them flesh it grow old
Changes of the times take a toll
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer
Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer

Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker

Endure much
Catch A Fire lyrics - Damian Marley
Every time I 'ear di crack of di whip my blood runs cold,
I remember on di slave ship how dey brutalise your very soul,
Today dey say that we are free
Only to be jailed in poverty,
Good god I think it's a little
Only a that makes,
Slave driver, your table has turned
Catch a fire, your gonna get burned
Slave driver, your table has turned
Catch a fire, your gonna get burned
Dem take up di ghetto youths and give dem pure magazine,
An take up on dem set an give dem bare 16,
An play dem dirty game applaud di bloods and skins,
An watch dem like a show of a view big screen,
An can we bread a dem an go buy dem cream?
Turn dem inna police an bring dem in 'pon dem team
Him drive ten grand worth a government larder,
An fight against di ones who have di same forefather,
Him next door neighbour, all weed we charge for,
WI children slaughter,
An weed dem wan murder,
Jus read di observer,
Right now di city can get no obsurder,
Of the 400 years a no leap wi brown sugar,
We ambush we bred a,
An gwan like whenever,
Use to plan slave revolt an a dem push dem together,
We change jus like di weather.
Every time I ear di crack of di whip, my blood runs at me, (its runnin cold)
I remember on di slave ship how dey brutalise your very soul,
Today dey say that we are free
Only to be jailed in poverty,
Good god I think it's a little
Only a that makes,
Slave driver, your table has turned
Catch a fire, your gonna get burned
Slave driver, your table has turned
Catch a fire, your gonna get burned
son's of slaves child,
now son's of di slave driver,

an if dem could, dem would tax you pon saliva,
how much more must we die for?
the ones in the cars when we standing at da car minus,
the government bogus, they don't work for us,
instead dem chain and whip you with da best stick first,
and guns and aids and drugs,
cause most of di youths with di school in dey mouth,
can' get no money from legitimate jobs,
den a wonder,
why dem grab chain and bags,
you influence di youth a turn dem gays and fags,
And rest den can afford not even torn up rags,
But table a turn a mi turntable spun,

Dats why anytime you say Rasta ya run!

We no wan nah Babylon government wey ya burn down ganja man tent,
And dem a come wit dem one bag o tax argument when we can' pay rent,
Me side dem a leave ghetto youths every which part dem went dem a be round corner dem bent,
So next time dem pass through you and ya crew don' give dem no encouragement,
Eh yo, jus start run dem out and start burn dem out a ya environment,
An yo, we wan no bout da eva red cent o' di poor people money dem spent,
An den, we wan no down to who pay di bill when di prime minister car dent,

Still Searchin' lyrics - Damian Marley
Some girl in the twinkling of an eye
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh, come on now tell me how can I
Love ah, one dat really don't deserve me?
Natural fi keep and natural preserve me
Me is ah boy, could get a whole heep ah girl, ya heard me
Many are called but only few deemed worthy
Body have ta physically strong and sturdy
Spiritually balanced fi clean and purge me
Mentally advanced fi always urge me
Read couple books and challenge the clergy
Read a couple psalms up inna the morning early
Could you be so kind then show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
A little child has grown and he's got love on his mind
But what he'll never know a virtuous woman is hard to find
And dat's when she said she feels the pain
And she'll never fall in love again
So if you is a gal with whole heep of value
What a valuable nice and decent gal you
When I get you I'll be glad I got you
Then stand firmly inna your life like statue
Seen some old tings seen some young tings
Seen some little silly go and come tings
Seen some one night just for fun tings
What a indecent piece ah, some ting
Be so kind den show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
Some say that love is blind
But he keep saying, not this time
So all he need is love to keep his heart in line
But dat's when she said, "Lord I feel the pain"
And she'll never fall in love again
You have some gal ah, come 'pon man premises
And ah, fling up the ting that's between di knees
And ah, full up man head with false promises
Oh, dutty bungle please, couldn't want to run that
So fast wid ease been there dun that my main
Squeeze is natural, simply natural
Could you be so kind then show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
A little child has grown and he's got love on his mind
But what he'll never know a virtuous woman is hard to find
'Cause that's when she said she's feeling pain
It seems they have fallen in love again
That's when she said, "Lord I feel the pain"
And now they're standing in love again
So tell me ah, when price tag gone pon annany
Gal ah, love man for Benz and Ferrari
Little one eyed brethren weh name Omari
Couldn't get no loving since him start sell stary
Some girl in the twinkling of an eye
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh, come on now tell me how can I
Love ah, one dat really don't deserve me?
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh, come on now tell me how can I
Love ah, one dat really don't deserve me?
Natural fi keep and natural preserve me
Me is ah boy, could get a whole heep ah girl, ya heard me

So fast wid ease been there dun that my main
Squeeze is natural, simply natural
Could you be so kind then show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
A little child has grown and he's got love on his mind
But what he'll never know a virtuous woman is hard to find
'Cause that's when she said she's feeling pain
It seems they have fallen in love again
That's when she said, "Lord I feel the pain"
And now they're standing in love again
So tell me ah, when price tag gone pon annany
Gal ah, love man for Benz and Ferrari
Little one eyed brethren weh name Omari
Couldn't get no loving since him start sell stary
Some girl in the twinkling of an eye
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh, come on now tell me how can I
Love ah, one dat really don't deserve me?
She Needs My Love lyrics - Damian Marley
I Jr.Gong long side Yami Bolo
Come to tell you a little story about the girl next door
Certain tings can happen but she will never know
Unless she come ah di rasta man stage show
I Jr.Gong man have the love connection
Come fi sail like a big boat across the ocean
So come and get yourself inna di love motion
You have di Rastaman wid di love potion
She needs my love
She said she needs my love
She need my love
She said she need Jah love
She is a girlfriend, she live next door
I think I've seen her that face before
Her memories can't erase from my mind
I love ya angel, one of a kind
Well, den she see me and she ball out
Yo, Jr.Gong, di searching shall end
Where the searching begun
She need a bed room bully who's a real rangatan
She love me like how black yankee love Farrakhan
Well, she's very impressed with the youngest veteran
She started realizing there's no better man
Now when time rain a fall, I become di weather man
Performing every one of her stage show dem fi long
I beg ya pardon deh miss kinky walking
Bright like sunlight when me glimpse you dis morning
Come down to night, you ah mi moon shine darling
Mash up mi head, all when ah you mi eye balling
Ready fi di hundred with out no stalling
Ince comes the youngest signal and warning
Big trampoline for di bedroom brawling
Cause she's not just
Good she's appalling
Her performances deserve applauding
She needs my love
She said she needs my love
She need my love
She said she need Jah love
She is a girlfriend, she live next door
I think I've seen her that face before
Her memories can't erase from my mind
I love ya angel, one of a kind
Tell her fi link it, me nah sink it, to piece and bit
When it come down to loving, it's a perfect fit
Whole heap ah more loving and we just nah quit
She can't tek the vibe of Babylon dem spirit
Straight up loving and ah nah no bull
Ah Rastafari bless her with di ting she have
She have all right reserve, fi she galang bad
Fresher than a vegetable inna mi market bag
Any time she come link up me ends
Me glad,well, ah she a get di money
And a spend di wad
'Cause me know the chumpas
Will not be squandered, she mek me start sing
Some Ray Charles ballad
'Cause the style of the loving is not just a fad
She need a lover to hug and squeeze her tight
She need a man to come home at night
But he's always working that's what she say
I had to tell her, go home and pray
She needs my love
She said she needs my love
She need my love
She said she need Jah love
She is a girlfriend, she live next door
I think I've seen her that face before
Her memories can't erase from my mind

Where Is The Love lyrics - Damian Marley
[CHORUS (Eve)]
You said that you love me
Oh what happened to the love
You said that you love me
Oh what happened to the love
[VERSE]
And there is a rather large population
Of hole sale suppliers
Dat might as well hand out fliers
Some gyals nowa days give you
Faster than preyers
And there is no love
Mama always told from the age of ten
She can't be my girl
If she can't be my friend
Fi think some gyal love man
Just for money for spend
I'm hurt my love
What about di youths dem
Weh love fi breed off the girls
And still nah care for da youth dem
Wahapn to the boots dem
And hear wah mek go worse
Nuff a dem did have and nah use dem
Fire fi di bait who love using the girls
So friend can congratulate dem
Rasta nah rate dem
When dem abusing di girls
Gun shot for bwoy weh ah rape dem
[CHORUS]
Some gyal like the hour of talking
Before dem will mek you shoot it
Meanwhile some gi ya anywhere the car is parking
Some only when secluded
Well some gyal put themselves on the market
Pum pum fit to suited
With di more expensive packages marking
Batteries not included
Some bwoy shoot wild like machine gun cupid
Just cause dap and doop did
And still don't have no one to call there own
Don't you think that's kinda stupid
Some bwoy have dem weak
And that's why dem can't refuse it
And dem think with dem john every day of the week
Well some fool better mind dem loose it
[CHORUS]

How some gyal get so bright
Within their attitude
Why some gyal wanna wuk

Born To Be Wild lyrics - Damian Marley
Said, she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something is wrong
Well, they no idle jubee dem couldn't cotch pon my pillow
Weh a love man for Nike and a love man for Fila
Dat's, dat's not the ways of anciento war gorilla
Me rather den to save all my sarsaparilla
Then on a lonesome breezy Sunday morning
This maiden came to town, me have to blick a sound
How she so cute and plus so sexy and so round
Sunlight catch her skin and Lord it good from head to ground
Next candidate me see who fit fi wear mi crown
And such tender smiles amaze me
The way that she looks Sunday night
She should be having my baby, my baby
The pleasure was all mine
Like yesterday news it's only for a time
Always on the go because she live a life, ah, crime
She don't want no man fi mind it
Di Muffin say dat he couldn't believe I was living so blindly
Said, she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something is wrong
Well, no shandy, strictly imported tequila
Vintage brandy, skunk sensemilia
Rubies and roses, diamond collar
Never check me for a money, nor a penny, nor a dollar
She can't go to London without visa
Me can't build me spliff dem without rizzla
Dem say, "Look out the door and you know di weather"
Me start put two and two together
First class flights and she drinks the most expensive wines
When she can't maintain her lifestyle upon minimum wages
She needs the coil
And just like a stubborn mule, I would tell you that is all she's worth
Well, tha smuggling and trafficking
Of illegal substances is her line of work
Me say a good woman ration
Most of di gyal dem get so caught up inna fashion
Love vanity, dem seem dem love it with a passion
Start to used dem body for some dirty profession
Seem like dem need spiritual supervision
Ital craft and a ital vision
Righteous path and a righteous decision
Instead of the materialistic religion
Else there's gonna be a crash course and collision
Said, she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something was wrong
Well, then it's all history
Me go up on a ends fi chack a one jubilee
Di way she rub me down and makin' me feel so nice
Me say haffi left and go ah studio go voice
Ariana, please stay home tonight
Ariana, please don't take that flight
Smuggling di drugs weh dem supply to di poor
Destruction of my people, well, then she's got to go
Tell her nah fi mix up inna those drugs before
She said she want fi go up on a smuggling tour
She missing gangsta parcel, dem say her skull fi bore
She don't have all di dollars, weh fi ever the score
But she wanna run her own drug store
Well, she said she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something was wrong
She's born to be wild and she can't be tamed

Give Dem Some Way lyrics - Damian Marley
Well, then a 'nuff gettoh youths no have no place to go
Live night and day roaming in the gettoh
Nuff gettoh youths ain't got no place of their own
Give them some place that they can call their home
Well, then a 'nuff politions telling poor people lies
And we can't get no answer when the poor people cry
The get wi ignorant, we bingi drum, we go rise
Give mi some space so I can burn those guys
Live night and day roaming in the gettoh
Nuff gettoh youths ain't got no place of their own
Give them some place that they can call their home
Well, then a 'nuff politions telling poor people lies
And we can't get no answer when the poor people cry
The get wi ignorant, we bingi drum, we go rise
Give mi some space so I can burn those guys
Paradise Child lyrics - Damian Marley (feat. Mr. Cheeks)
[CHORUS (Jimmy Cozier)]
When love, takes me over
Its paradise
When love, takes me over
It's always nice
[VERSE]
Touch pon di ends
And a incense, herbs and oils
Scrapbook newspaper
Clippings and files
A view of di countryside
Remind me of nine miles
Where di trees are green
And di people smile
After few water crackers
And some warm milo tea
Rub massage home made
Coco butter skin cream
Interior design of
Ights gold and green
And the vibes are pure
And the thoughts are clean
She collect her own
Dividends weekly
So mi know ah no money
Mek she seek me
Cool me down
And tie mi knotty dem neatly
Draw close
While whispering sweetly
Mi teach her each and everytime
That she link me
We haffi bun
A five bills bag a stinky
True she roots and culture
She win me
I even had to
Introduce her to Cindy
[CHORUS]
[VERSE (Mr. Cheeks)]
[VERSE]
Well I was sitting
By an open fire place
In my flavorite dungarees
I play a few strums
Upon my guitar
And It sounds so good to me
Big skunky blunt a blaze
And plus
My flavorite stooks beside me
I glance over
Just so I could see her
But my locks got in the way
Cool breeze a blow
Thru the weeping willow
She always leave
A fragrance on my pillow
When I'm ready
She will always follow
Me to the place of
My old sleepy hollow
Soft silky voice is
So sacred and hollow
Cause out spoken noisy
Streams run shallow
Reach to the stars
When I launch the Apollo
Could a land up ah Sao Paulo
[CHORUS]
When love, takes me over
Its paradise
When love, takes me over
It's always nice

By an open fire place
In my flavorite dungarees
I play a few strums
Upon my guitar
And It sounds so good to me
Big skunky blunt a blaze
And plus
My flavorite stooks beside me
I glance over
Just so I could see her
But my locks got in the way
Cool breeze a blow
Thru the weeping willow
She always leave
A fragrance on my pillow
When I'm ready
She will always follow
Me to the place of
My old sleepy hollow
Soft silky voice is
So sacred and hollow
Cause out spoken noisy
Streams run shallow
Reach to the stars
When I launch the Apollo
Could a land up ah Sao Paulo
[CHORUS]
Stuck In Between lyrics - Damian Marley
Well den a two gyal mi have
And I am stuck in between
One a hold out
Like she don't want to give in
One a move out
Like she don't want to live in
One a 21
Di other one a 19
Now one a mi woman
And one a mi queen
One face ah wrinkle
When mi laundry fi clean
One can not cook it
Of mi ital cuisine
She surely learned
About mi king size trampoline
One dominant
Di other one reign supreme
One very kind
Di other one kinda mean
One a rude gyal
Di other one squeaky clean
Di 3 of we together
That's my ideal dream
One gyal so tight
Man have to use vasoline
Next gyal so wide
She must a use gasoline
Ah dem a kinda a gyal weh
Bust your self-esteem
And mek you wanna build
Your own housing scheme
Nothing a change
To discipline mi a dean
Real buffalo
In Rastafari regime
Bush bungalo ah where mi
Dwell wid mi queen
Mek dem know say things
Are not always what they seem
Two jealous woman
Is a dangerous scene
More time ya mask
Di double clip magazine
Don't mek she find
All di old 16
Two ah dem a war
And start blood up di team
I Jr.Gong
The gyal dem tangerine
One looking like
She could ah be a ballerine
Next one delicate
She could ah be a figurine
None ah dem nuh start
Move sideways and lean
And I am stuck in between
One a hold out
Like she don't want to give in
One a move out
Like she don't want to live in
One a 21
Di other one a 19
Now one a mi woman
And one a mi queen
One face ah wrinkle
When mi laundry fi clean
One can not cook it
Of mi ital cuisine
She surely learned
About mi king size trampoline
One dominant
Di other one reign supreme
One very kind
Di other one kinda mean
One a rude gyal
Di other one squeaky clean
Di 3 of we together
That's my ideal dream
One gyal so tight
Man have to use vasoline
Next gyal so wide
She must a use gasoline
Ah dem a kinda a gyal weh
Bust your self-esteem
And mek you wanna build
Your own housing scheme
Nothing a change
To discipline mi a dean
Real buffalo
In Rastafari regime
Bush bungalo ah where mi
Dwell wid mi queen
Mek dem know say things
Are not always what they seem
Two jealous woman
Is a dangerous scene
More time ya mask
Di double clip magazine
Don't mek she find
All di old 16
Two ah dem a war
And start blood up di team
I Jr.Gong
The gyal dem tangerine
One looking like
She could ah be a ballerine
Next one delicate
She could ah be a figurine
None ah dem nuh start
Move sideways and lean
Half Way Tree lyrics - Damian Marley
Okay, rememnber the breif
And one and two and bounce and bounce
And bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce
It's like keeping a stage show and want the place fi done
Wha you do call my management that walk wid 50 gun, wha mi do
Nah goin' go pon stage until me get me funds
Wha mi sing, one Jr.Gong what a hefty sum
Youngest veteran intercept di run
Artist a carry feelings and tears a run
Say you know, say a just true, him a Bob Marley son
How him get a Swizz Beats and you nuh get me none
Wha mi sing strictly ex amount of high grade sess mi bun
Wha mi sing strictly only high grade princess mi bun
Politician well love push up dem chest mi bun
Certain loud rowdy talking interest mi gun
Now mi come fi bun down all material object
Wid a raas claat gold chain 'round me neck
Me bun a fire pon di man weh love bitch and fret
And want every little detail intricate
Well, dem just can't believe or dem won't accept
Jr.Gong and Swizz beat, fassy don't forget
Well, is it just me or is it hot to death
It's the Halfway Tree C.D. and cassette
D.J. race a run on your mark, get set
And watch everybody run to the record outlet
Tell me who C.D. do you think they get
The one closest to the Bob Marley box set
And boom and anyhow you nuh feel me yet
Well, chances are you might soon go def
Me have a clip fully loaded and one select
Fi any bwoy weh nuh want show the Gong respect
All me shirt and shoes and pants me bet
Say a nuff D.J. haffi go starve to death
While dem girl read about me on the Internet
But it's not their fault, don't get upset
Because dem can't touch me intellect
And boom dem can't even bounce a check
Well, you better rest your drinks pon a serviette
And gwon bounce around until you bust a sweat
Bounce
Just bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce
Just bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce
So return to di venues you used to fill
And return to the ends where you used to chill
I know them putting some punks on over kill
Wid some everyday tune, I refuse to build
Now you've been waiting patiently until boom
A me name Jr.Gong and still, boom
Ridin' a bounce and you can't stand still, boom
See it deh now your drinks a spill
You have some D.J. think dem shoot to kill
'Cause dem spar wid, a couple thug youths weh will
Wait till dem lickle chumpas, dem have draw nil
Ah di same thug, ah climb thru dem windowsill
And, anyhow you no pay di bill
Well, dem could a find you a sligoville
You better mind how you use your talent and skill
Till you hear man a bruk down your burglar grill
Well, it's from baby pram n to Stroller dem
We rock mics anywhere, we get a hold a dem
Wid di Muffin looking over, we shoulder dem
Better read out all mi portfolio dem
Well, it's roots and branches, sticks and stems
A di Halfway Tree and it a murder dem
Ghetto youths, one fam, you never heard a dem
Dangerous nightlife observer dem
So just bounce, bounce, bounce wit' me
Big man big woman and pickney
Feel no pain when di music hit me
Find all a gyal weh fit me
Keeping a stage show and want the place fi done
Wha you do call my management that walk wid 50 gun
Wha mi do, nah goin' go pon stage until me get me funds
