Текст песни:

Africa unite
’Cause we’re moving right out of Babylon
And we’re going to our Father’s land


How good and how pleasant it would be
Before God and man
To see the unification of all Africans
As it’s been said already
Let it be done right now
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Higher Man


So Africa unite, Africa unite, yeah
Africa unite
’Cause we’re moving right out of Babylon
And we’re grooving to our Father’s land


How good and how pleasant it would be
Before God and man
To see the unification of all Africans
As it’s been said let it be done
I tell you who we are under the sun
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Higher Man


So Africa unite, Africa unite, yeah
Africa unite ’cause the children want
To come home, Africa unite, Africa unite
It’s later, later than you think
It’s later, later than you think
Unite for the benefit of your people
Unite for the Africans abroad
Unite for the Africans a yard

Текст песни:

All twinklin’ lee
Can’t see the right rose when the streams abate
The old slave men might grind slow
But it grinds fine, yeah

African herbsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate, ’cause heaven lives on
Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart (yes, how quick they had to part)

(…how quick they had to part)

The remembrance of today
Is the sad feelin’ of tomorrow
(…how quick…) Oh (…part), oh yeah

African herbsman, seize your time
I’m takin’ illusion on the edge of my mind
I’m takin’ losers down thru my life
Down thru my life, yeah (yes, how quick they had to part)
(…how quick they had to part)

Dideh part, yes, they part
In remembrance of today
(…how quick they had to part)

African herbsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate, ’cause your heaven lives on
Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart, yes, how (…quick they have to
part)
(…how quick they have to part)

In remembrance of today
Brings sad feelings of tomorrow
(Yes, how quick they have to…) Lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray
to you

(African herbsman) (African herbsman)
African, African herbsman…

One love, hear my plea, one heart
Give thanks and praise to the Lord, and I will feel alright


Simmer down, you lickin′ too hot, so
Simmer down, soon you′ll get dropped, so
Simmer down, man, you hear what I say?

Breaks your heart
Then you′ll be sad, so sad
And then your teardrops start
I tell you, then you′ll know how
It hurts to be alone

Oh, what a (... feeling ...), what a feeling (... be blue)
Oh, what a feeling, oh, what a feeling
(Oh, what a feeling to be blue)
Have you ever had a lonesome feeling?

This was cause thru love and affection
This was cause thru love and affection
This was cause thru love and affection

Mm, feel them spirit

Feel them spirit

Yes, my friend
We′re in the streets again
Yes, my friend
Dem set we free again ...

Текст песни:

(Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!)
See them fighting for power (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),
But they know not the hour (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),;
So they bribing with their guns, spare-parts and money,
Trying to belittle our
Integrity now.
They say what we know
Is just what they teach us;
And we’re so ignorant
’Cause every time they can reach us (shoobe, doo-wa)
Through political strategy (shoo-be, doo-wa);
They keep us hungry (shoobe, doo-wa),
And when you gonna get some food (shoobe, doo-wa),
Your brother got to be your enemy, we-e-ell!

Ambush in the night,
All guns aiming at me;
Ambush in the night,
They opened fire on me now.
Ambush in the night,
Protected by His Majesty.
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee. Ooh-wa-ooh!
(Ooh-wee) Ooh-wee, ooh-wee (ooh-wa), Ooh-wa!
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ooh!
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ah!

Well, what we know
Is not what they tell us;
We’re not ignorant, I mean it,
And they just cannot touch us;
Through the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa),
We keep on surfacin’ (shoobe, doo-wa);
Thru the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa),
We keep on survivin’.

Yeah, this ambush in the night
Planned by society;
Ambush in the night;
They tryin’ to conquer me;
Ambush in the night
Anyt’ing money can bring;
Ambush in the night
Planned by society;
Ambush in the night

Текст песни:

You a-go tired fe see me face;
Can′t get me out of the race.
Oh, man, you said I′m in your place
And then you draw bad card -
A-make you draw bad card,
And then you draw bad card.

Propaganda spreading over my name;
Say you wanna bring another life to shame.
Oh, man, you just a-playing a game
And then you draw bad cyard (draw bad card);
A-make you draw bad card (draw bad card);
A-make you draw bad card.

I want to disturb my neighbour,
′Cause I′m feelin′ so right;
I want to turn up my disco,
Blow them to full watts tonight, eh! -
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style,
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style.

′Cause we guarding the palace so majestic;
Guarding the palace so realistic!

Them a-go tired to see we face (oh yeah!),
Me say them can′t get we out of the race;
Oh, man, it′s just a big disgrace.
The way you draw bad card (draw bad card);
The way you make wrong moves (make wrong moves);
The way you draw bad card (draw bad card);
A-make you draw bad card (draw bad card);
A-make you draw bad card -
In a rub-a-dub style, rub-a-dub style,
In a rub-a-dub style

Текст песни:

No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won′t come out to play:
(that high yellow moon won′t come out to play)
I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
(and the stage) and the stage my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
Won′t someone tell me?
′cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -

(must be somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (la la-la!),
Where the living is harder (la-la!).

Concrete jungle (la la-la!):
Man you got to do your (la la-la!) best. wo-ooh, yeah.
No chains around my feet,
But I′m not free, oh-ooh!
I know I am bound here in captivity;
G′yeah, now - (never, never) I′ve never known happiness;
(never, never) I′ve never known what sweet caress is -
Still, I′ll be always laughing like a clown;
Won′t someone help me? ′cause I (sweet life) -
I′ve got to pick myself from off the ground
(must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
In this a concrete jungle (la la-la!):
I said, what do you cry for me (la-la!) now, o-oh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won′t you let me be (la
la-la!), now.
Hey! oh, now!
---
/guitar solo/
---
I said that life (sweet life) - it must be somewhere to be
found
(must be somewhere for me)
Oh, instead: concrete jungle (la-la!) - collusion (la-la!) -

Confusion (confusion). eh!

Concrete jungle (la-la!): baby, you′ve got it in.
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), now. eh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!).

What do you stand(? ) for me (la-la!), now? /fadeout/

Текст песни:

The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone-a;
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone.

You’re a builder, baby;
Here I am, a stone.

Don’t you pick and refuse me,
’Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should choose.
Do you ’ear me? Hear what I say!

Stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone-a;
The stone that the builder refuse, yeah!
Will always be the head cornerstone.

You’re a builder, baby;
Wo, here I am, a stone!


Don’t you pick and refuse me,
’Cause the t’ings people refuse
Are the things they should use;
The things people refuse
Are the things they should use.
Do you ’ear me? Hear what I say!

Stone dat them builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone-a;
The stone that dem builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone.

Текст песни:

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?

Don′t let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! 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,
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light.

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - 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 your 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 ya, oh! -
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We′ve got a life to live.
They say: only - only -
only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -
Stay alive! Eh!

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - 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?)
Say something! Say something!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something! (Say something!)
Say something! Say something! (Could you be loved?)
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! Uh!
Say something! Come on!
Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be
loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be
loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
