we shall overcome must overcome
so mi a pray till Jahhovah come

mi pray to mi god weh deh a earth or sky
fi mi friend when say dem love mi
when mi know dem lie

can't depend pon cassava dat hard fi fry
nuh live inna no old days dat hard fi try
mi ras but mama eat steak and dat hard fi buy

so
we shall overcome
must overcome
seh ghetto yutes a money over gun

mi tired of the damn frustration
tired of babylon and dem damn molestation

so nuh lock off the sun
and lock mi inna nuh station
wi music affi wi nation
ah it alone people use go tru dem tribulation
mi a talk wid di nation, mi no want no demonstration

we shall overcome must overcome
thy will be done, Jah know

tired a di innocent bloodshed
tired of it Jamaica a run red
people can't sleep inna dem bed
mi tired of di poverty
we need solidarity
mi a talk to the majority
you hear mi clearly

we shall overcome must overcome

Bugle: Things We Do For Love

video itt

girl I've got love for you
I've got kisses got hug for you
for my child baby mother
let's grow old together
I wanna see you when the sun rise
I wanna see you when the sun set
until death do us apart
baby girl I wanna see you with my last breath

things we do for love
sometimes it drive mi crazy
the things we do for love
but want you to have my baby
girl I wanna be near to you
swear to you
no one can compare to you

let's talk for a moment
baby girl let's chill for a while
even though you're not pregnant
girl let's find a name for our child
where I go you follow mi
we're family, just you and me
what is to be will be
you are supposed to be with mi

Bugle: Journeys

video itt

mi hold up mi head, mi swallow mi pride and decide so mi nuh go fail
if its even fi ride a bicycle and go deliver mail
praise mi God mi find a job, nuh go rob fi go a jail
fortunately over evil righteousness have to prevail
good things come in small parcels some people want it in barrage
yet cannot hide from Jah, so forget your camouflage
according to your work, thats how you get your reward
so if you got to be a rebel, be a rebel with a cause

mi overcome all difficulties with hard work, a dat mi time
right now mi a go use back one a Jimmy Cliff line
"cause as sure as the sun shine, I'm gonna get whats mine"
I'm never gonna get left behind
think too negative bout your brother, that's why you a guh melt
why you want envy a man just tru him have him wealth
you know you gotta do what you can while you got the health
just remember seh Jah Jah help who try to help themselves

some people stopped by obstacles, my journeys continue
the devil is always gonna be around haunting you
every single day he will be taunting you
babylon always looking something to plant on you

work fi what you want
never say you cant and stop move slant
work fi what you need
take the lead, hungry mouth they have to feed

Flexxx: Nah Sell Out

they make badmind take over them heart and soul
lose it for silver and gold

but mi no sell out miself no sell out mi soul
for no diamond no gold

and pray for who don't like me
