We're jamming
I wanna jam it with you,
We're jamming, jamming
And I hope you like jamming too

Ain't no rules, ain't no vow, we can do it anyhow
I and I will see you through,
'Cos every day we pay the price with a little sacrifice
Jamming till the jam is through.

We're jamming
To think that jamming was a thing of the past,
We're jamming, jamming
And I hope this jam is gonna last

No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor will we bow
Neither can be bought or sold.
We all defend the right, JAH JAH children must unite
Your life is worth much more than gold.

We're jamming, jamming
We're jamming in the name of the Lord
We're jamming, jamming
We're jamming right straight from JAH

Holy mount Zion
Holy mount Zion
JAH sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all Creation

Yeah, we're jamming, jamming
I wanna jam it with you
We're jamming, jamming
I'm jammed, I hope you're jamming too

Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
Too Keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist
So jam by my side.


Bob Marley; Peter Tosh

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: dont give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (Oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)

We sick and tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name , Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't
give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (fadeout)


Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
There was a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

I mean it, when I analyse the stench
To me, it makes a lot of sense
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America

If you know your history
Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am

I'm just a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier
Win the war for America

Dreadie, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo, woe yoe yoe
(repeat)
Buffalo Soldier, trodding through the land
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand
Trodding through the land, yea, yea

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier
Win the war for America
Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the mainland
To the heart of the caribbean

Singing, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe
(repeat)

Trodding through San Juan
In the arms of America
Trodding through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Singing, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yeo yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe


Could you be loved... and be loved
Could you be loved... and be loved

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you, oh! no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved... and be loved
Could you be loved... and be loved

The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you
Love you brotherman

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you, oh! no
We've got a life to live
They say only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive

Could you be loved... and be loved
Could you be loved... and be loved

You ain't gonna miss your water
Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him
The man will never be satisfied
Say something

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

Say something, say something
Say something
Say something, say something
Say something
Say something, say something
Say something
Reggae, reggae
Say something
Rockers, rockers
Say something
Reggae, reggae
Say something
Rockers, rockers
Say something could you be loved
Say something could you be loved
Say something
Say something could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Say something
Say something...


I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town they're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty for the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy but I say

I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what I don't know.
Every time that I plant a seed he said,
'Kill it before it grows'.
He said, 'Kill it before it grows' but I say

I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
Freedom came my way one day and I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down but I say

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me and what is to be, must be.
Every day the bucket goes to well but one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out but I say

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.


No woman no cry, no woman no cry
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Seh, seh, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, observing the hypocrites
As the would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears, no woman no cry
Seh, seh, said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone
No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry


I am on the rock and then I check a stock
I have to run like a fugitive to save the life I live
I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion (repeat)
Iron Lion Zion
I'm on the run but I ain't got no gun
See they want to be the star
So they fighting tribal war
And they saying Iron like a Lion in Zion
Iron like a Lion in Zion,
Iron Lion Zion

I'm on the rock, (running and you running)
I take a stock, (running like a fugitive)
I had to run like a fugitive just to save the life I live
I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion (repeat)
Iron Lion Zion, Iron Lion Zion, Iron Lion
Zion Iron like a Lion in Zion, Iron like
a lion in Zion Iron like a Lion in Zion


Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
All I ever had, is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs, redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but oursekves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
All I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom

 


BM: Turn your lights down low,and pull your window curtains
Oh! let Djah moon come shining,turn to our light again

REFRAIN
LH:
Loving you is like a song I replay every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day
And every chorus was written for us
To resight every sweet memory of devotion every night
Every word every second and every third
Is questions of happiness more clearly than ever heard
And when I play 'em Every chorus is like a chorum
Telling the Lord how greatful I am 'cause I know him
This potion might this ocean might
Carry me in the wave of emotion and ask you to marry me
The symphonies possess a sensation
Similar to your caress
And if you're asking then I'm telling you it's YES
And the Love take my hand and Love Djah Bless
BM: I want to give you some good good Lovin'
Turn your yorn your lights down low and pull your window curtains
LH: And let your love come tumbling in, into our lives again
BM: Saying, ouh! It's been a long long time
LH: I've got this message for you,boy
BM: But it seems I was never on time
LH: Still I wanna get through to you, boy
LH & BM: On time, on time
CHORUS
