Nothing Compares 2 U

Prince, New Power Generation

It's been seven hours and fifteen days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said girl you better try to have fun no matter what you do

but he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares 2 you

All the flowers that you planted mama

In the back yard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Rock Stone

Stephen Marley

Rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone was my pillow

I say, rockstone was my pillow

Rock stone, was my pillow

Hear the man say

R-R-Rock stone was my pillow could not find place fi sleep

Pot dem empty we haffi find food fi eat

Everyday we terrorize by soldier and police

When the thing dem a drum and di thing dem a beat

From dem a play cowboy, and Indian, and Chief

From the first, to the third, straight up to seven street

One thing in a wi mind a fi trample di beast

And make it in a life, and inherit as the meek

Better the stone dem deh yah

Self employed, cannot get lay off

Mount a work mi have

Can't even get a day off

Who did waan fi stop mi now dem find out seh dem way off

Alright, and mi seh one by one, one by one

One by one, wi stepping out a Babylon

Then one by one, one by one

Hail King Selassie the conquering lion

Rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone was my pillow

I say, Rock Stone was my pillow

Sizzla Kalonji

Rock stone, was my pillow (Stephen Ragga Marley, aha!)

Help us Jah

Take us from the slum

Never give up no matter what, strictly fiyah burn

Hail Rasta, take us from the slum

Never give up matter what

King Selassie I blessing come

Sufferation is thing could be no harder time

Got to widen your views, got to broaden your mind

What we face in the ghetto, nowhere else can you find

Hunger, poverty, a system so unkind

As a matter a fact, there is an after shock

When cold ground was my bed and my pillow was a rock

Try to make it through the system all the doors were lock

Yet nothing beats a try so I ain't go stop

Mount a time they write a book on you

A set amount ah crap they'd ah put on you

Yet when yuh in the dirt they wouldn't look on you

They would only scorn and wanna wipe the foot on yuh

But, see yah

So open up, Zion door

Ethiopia, Africa for sure

Liberate the poor, the poor, hey

Mi nah lie, true mi hail Selassie I dem wah fi war I

Read mi Bible turn to peace and praise Tafari

Good bye Babylon goodbye, goodbye

Open up, Zion door

Mount Zion, Ethiopia for sure

Children of Israel, children of Israel

Hey!

Rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone was my pillow

I say, rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone, was my pillow

Hear me now

Jah man me cool, nuh stumble like you

Walk pon di street, me nuh gwaan for fool

Arrive at the dance, di mic a mi tool

Eat pon table, sit inna stool

Me black, me brown

Me brown no black

Ribs and mi chest, mi spine and mi back

Wait 'til you hear, when dis riddim drop

Head yuh toe, yuh body a rock, from me pon di mic

Steve Marley ah chat, firm and strong

Doh step pon the lot

The peaceful, righteous, Rastaman

Rod of correction, inna him hand

Preachin' out to man and woman, give riches to King Solomon

Now, bass come out, and treble a top

Cap an no buck, an nuh buck a no cap

Sweetest singer, was Sugar Minott

Man a come in and ah give me a shot

Dracula turn inna vampire bat

When him see sun, him cyah take dat

Eyes dem dark, fi use contact

I pon the mic, Raggamuffin a chat

Fi mi head dread, me head it no plat

Nuh fraid ah no mouse, nuh fraid ah no rat

Pray to Jah, me never will stop

We hot no cold, wah cold nuh hot

Live in a house, no live in a flat

Up inna Zion, di righteious will top

Jah blow breeze, the devil cannot

Rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone was my pillow

I say, rock stone was my pillow

Rock stone, was my pillow

Patience

Nas, Damian Marley

Here we are, here we are, yeah

This one right here is for the people

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye

Ni kera mogo

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (Hey, yo, D, let's go all the way in on this one)

Ni kera mogo

Some of the smartest dummies can't read the language of Egyptian mummies

Plant a flag on the moon and can't find food for the starving tummies

Pay no mind to the youths 'cause it's not like the future depends on it

But save the animals in the zoo 'cause the chimpanzee them make big money

This is how the media pillages, on TV the picture is savages in villages

And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids

Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids

Stereotyping the image of the images and this is what the image is

You buy khaki pants and all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones

And thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones

Some of the worst paparazzi's I've ever seen and I ever known

Put the worst on display so the world can see and that's all they will ever show

So the ones in the West will never move east and feel they could be at home

Get tricked by the Beast but where them gon' flee when the monster is fully grown?

Solomonic linage where them can't defeat and them could never clone

My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own, Lord

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (yeah, that's patience, it's what the old folks told me)

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye (can you get with that?)

Ni kera mogo

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (discoverin' the world before this world, a world buried in time)

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (uncovered with rhymes, it gets no realer)

Ni kera mogo

We born not knowing, are we born knowing all?

We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?

Can you read thoughts? Can you read palms?

Can you predict the future? Can you see storms coming?

The Earth was flat, if you went too far, you would fall off

Now the Earth is round, if the shape change again, everybody would start laugh

The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of

And still won't research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of

Scholars teach in universities and claim that they're smart and cunning

Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose start running

And the rich get stitched up when them get cut

Wanna heal them broken bones in the bush with the wet mud

Can you read signs? Can you read stars?

Can you make peace? Can you fight war?

Can you milk cows even though you drive cars?

Can you survive against all odds now?

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (it's crazy)

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye (when you feed people the truth, you don't know how they gon' react)

Ni kera mogo

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (you scared of wrong-doers, people that's just ignorant)

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (and scared of the truth, we patient for now)

Ni kera mogo

Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an, and was it a lightning storm

That gave birth to the Earth and then dinosaurs were born?

Who made up words? Who made up numbers, and what kind of spell is mankind under?

Everything on the planet we preserve and can it, microwaved it, and try it

No matter what we'll survive it

What's hu-? What's -man? What's human?

Anything along the land we consumin', eatin', deletin', ruin

Tryin' to get paper, gotta have land, gotta have acres

So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson, watch niggas play the game like the Lakers

In a world full of fifty-two fakers, Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers

You superstitious, throw salt over your shoulders, make a wish for the day 'cause

Like somebody got a doll of me, stickin' needles in my arteries, but I can't feel it

Sometimes it's like, "pardon me, but I got a real big spirit"

I'm fearless, I'm fearless, don't you try and grab hold of my soul

It's like a military soldier since seven years old

I held real dead bodies in my arms, felt they body turn cold, oh

Why we born in the first place ff this is how we gotta go? Damn

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (yeah)

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye (yeah, yeah, what)

Ni kera mogo

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (this goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world)

It make no sense at all to say where you used to work

It make no sense at all to say how much you used to earn

It make no sense at all to say what you used to do

It make no sense at all to say what you used to do

When the two sevens clash

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash

My good old prophet Marcus Garvey prophesize, say

"St. Jago de la Vega and Kingston is gonna read"

And I can see with mine own eyes

It's only a housing scheme that divide

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash (it dread)

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash

Look up a cotton tree out by Ferry police station

How beautiful it used to be

And it has been destroyed by lightning

Earthquake and thunder, I say

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash (it dread)

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash

I take a ride sometimes

On Penn Overland and Bronx

And sometimes I ride on bus X-82, say what?

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash

Marcus Garvey was inside of Spanish Town district Prison

And when they were about to take him out

He prophesied and said

"As I have passed through this gate"

"No other prisoner shall enter and get through"

And so it is until now

The gate has been locked, so what?

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash (it dread)

Wat a liiv an bambaie

When the two sevens clash (it bitter, bitter, bitter)

Natural Mystic

Bob Marley

There's a natural mystic

Blowing through the air

If you listen carefully now you will hear

This could be the first trumpet

Might as well be the last

Many more will have to suffer

Many more will have to die

Don't ask me why

Things are not the way they used to be

I won't tell no lie

One and all got to face reality now

Though I try to find the answer

To all the questions they ask

Though I know it's impossible

To go living through the past

Don't tell no lie

There's a natural mystic

Blowing through the air

Can't keep them down

If you listen carefully now you will hear

Such a natural mystic

Blowing through the air

This could be the first trumpet

Might as well be the last

Many more will have to suffer

Many more will have to die

Don't ask me why

There's a natural mystic

Blowing through the air

I won't tell no lie

If you listen carefully now, you will hear

There's a natural mystic

Blowing through the air

And you go mek di baretta get brawling

Papa apply fi work and dem nuh call him

Mama use to sew shirt but now it stalling

Turn round a look pon her youth caan find nuh food now fi calm him

[Chorus:]

Through they don´t know how ghetto people grow

They say that they know but they really don´t know well!

[Verse 2:]

Mr politician tek da one inna you head

How you teach di youths dem dread you tell dem country inna di red

So nuh badda come back out ya come fuck up di youths dem head

Tell how you feel when you set you system fi di youths dem haffi steal

Running down a fantasy and don´t know what is real

Gunning down a mantasy if that can make dem heal

Teach dem love because a that di youths dem need

[Chorus:]

Through they don´t know how ghetto people grow

They say that they know but they really don´t know well!

[Verse 3:]

Bawling you ever hear a likkle baby bawling

When nuh food nuh reach him belly from morning

Tell mi what you expect watch him starving to death

And you go mek di baretta get brawling

Papa apply fi work and dem nuh call him

Mama use to sew shirt but now it stalling

Turn round a look pon her youth can´t find nuh food now fi calm him well!

[Outro:]

Through they don´t know how ghetto people grow yo

They say that they know dead punks that they don´t know

Kaboom! esco it´s poor people´s governor they call to di rescue

Queen Ifrica - Times Like These

One civilization is not complete without it's art

The highest form of expression of human intelligence

You have have become complacent

Sitting down and allowing the other nations to run away with everything

You have become a bunch of consumers

You are creators

rise up mighty people and accomplish what you will

Without confidence you're twice defeated in the race of life

They took away the voices, that gave the people pride

Now we're plunging into darkness

We all have to play our part, make a bold start

Every disc jock, tell every artist

Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness

How so much alcohol in our parties

While the girls a broke out

And the something she drinked knocked her out

Now she doesn't care where they prop her up

It's times like these

I'm missing our heroes

Times like these i really wish they where around

Shouldn't have to be like this

Marcus Garvey

We know that you tried your best, but we'll to the rest

They bred up shotaz them, now we have a lot of them

Prsion pack up, now the grave will be packed with dead

The broke the national bird wing

Sell we out clean

Not sure if we own a god dam thing

Jamrock why are we giving in to the trick

that they have been tricking us from the beginning

Parents you need to awake from the slumbering

It's our children's blood that is running

It's times like these

I'm missing our heroes

Times like these i really wish they where around

Shouldn't have to be like this

Bob Marley

We know that you never died in vain

We're gonna rise agai, .hey

People use the fist hold the bell

Beat promise until it swells

Nobody will hear if you don't yell

Listen what they tell you about the bucket that go well

Black woman put on you baggie

That something should not sell

That's how we know society's cruel

Ask who placed the crab into barrel

PM, opposition stop with the quarrel

Unite, come together, teach the people how fi chill

It's times like these

I'm missing our heroes

Times like these i really wish they where around

Shouldn't have to be like this

Oh Miss Lou we need you

It's the first I've heard of this

Hundred and counting on the murder list

They took away the voices, that gave the people pride

Now we're plunging into darkness

We all have to play our part, make a bold start

Every disc jock, tell every artist

Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness

How so much alcohol in our parties

While the girls a broke out

And the something she drinked knocked her out

Now she doesn't care where they prop her up

It's times like these

I'm missing our heroes

Times like these i really wish they where around

We need you, we need you, we need you

Sam Sharpe

We need you, we need you, we need you

Nanny, yeah

Opportunity comes but once, so its time for me

I don't think of failure because there's sunshine for me

Something in the back of my head, keep reminding me

Keep a listening ear when I call

There's good, and that's so just be good and stand tall

A lot of people out there wish for me to fall

I'm not scared

I pray to he who had created us all

Evils and the demons, woo, I don't stop with them

Heard they don't like, aye, what's up with them

I just can't do without Jah love

Because it's like the oxygen

Conquer your fears
