MARCUS GARVEY -  Burning Spear [W. Rodney]

Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,- 
Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,

Can't get no food to eat,
Can't get no money to spend, Wo-oo-oo
Can't get no food to eat,
Can't get no money to spend, Woo -oo- oo

Come, little one and let me do what I can do for you
And you and you alone
Come, little one, wo-oo-oo
Let me do what I can do for you and you alone, woo-oo-oo

You know the right 
And do heed might
Shall be spanked with many stripes,

Weeping and wailing and moaning,
You've got yourself to blame, I tell you.
Do right do right do right do right do right,
Tell you to do right, Woo -oo- oo 
Beg you to do right, Woo -oo- oo

Where is Bagawire, he's nowhere to be found
He can't be found
First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey
Son of Satan, First prophesy,
Catch them, Garvey old
Catch them Garvey, catch them Woo -oo- oo
Hold them Marcus, hold them Woo -oo- oo
Marcus Garvey, Marcus Woo -oo- oo

Do you remember the days of slav'ry ?

Do you remember the days of slav'ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)

And how they beat us (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And how they worked us so hard. (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And how they used us. (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Till they refuse us. (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)

Mm, And a big fat bull
Mm, We usually pull it ev'rywhere
Mm, We must pull it
Mm, With shackles around our necks,
Mm, And I can see it all no more
Do you remember the days of slav'ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)

Some of us survive, (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Show ing them that we are still a live (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
History can recall, History can recall. (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
History can recall the days of slav'ry. (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)

Oh slav'ry day (Do you remember the days of slav'ry ?)


LIVE GOOD - Burning Spear [Winston Rodney]

Try my best to live good
Try my best to do the right
I don't know what wrong have I done you
I don't know
I don't know what wrong have I done you
I don't know
All I know I must speak
I must
All I know I must speak
I must
I don't know what wrong have I done you
I don't know
I don't know what wrong have I done you
I don't know
All I know I must speak
I must
All I know I must speak
I must



OlLD MARCUS GARVEY -  Burning Spear

/: No one remember old Marcus Garvey, 
No one remember old Marcus Garvey :/

No one remember him, no one 
they been talking about Paul Bogle,
They been talking about William Goddon
They been talking about Norman Washington Manley,
including Bustamante
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey, 
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey

Finest time
John the Baptist's head were cut off
Put it away into a saucer,
Still disciples have oh Lord believe me,
Yes they stoneth him to death
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey, 
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey

This day the right way
This day the right way
This day the right way
All us got todo is
A true black Lou I
A hatred scatter, even melt before the fire light go out
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey, 
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey

Children, children, children, children
Humble yourself and become one day somehow
You will remember him you will 
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey, 
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey

Garvey's old yet young
Garvey's old yet young
Garvey's old yet young
Garvey's old yet young.......

JORDAN RIVER - Burning Spear [Rodney/ Lawrence/ Fullwood]

No wicked shall not enter this-a river
The fittest of the fittest shall enter
Who is the son of he from Buzz Rock
With his garment dipped in blood?
All I know is that

Jordan River gonna roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll, 
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, 
Roll, roll, roll,

Jordan River gonna roll. 
Let it roll, let it roll, must roll, 
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll. 

Jordan River go roll, a go roll
Jordan River a go roll, a go roll
Roll,Jordan River. 
Roll,Jordan River, 
Roll,Jordan River, 
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, 
Roll, roll, roll,

Jordan River a go roll
Jordan River a go roll, a go roll. 
Roll, River Jordan, roll
Roll, River Jordan, roll 
Roll, River Jordan
Roll, River Jordan

A go roll, a go roll, a go roll. 
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River a go roll

My black brothers and sisters
Waiting up on I and I come forth home,
Hold hands in hands. 
Be side by side,
Sing happy songs at River Jordan's side

Jordan River gonna roll, roll, roll 
Jordan River gonna roll
River gonna roll, gonna roll
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll

No wicked shall not enter this river
Roll, roll, roll,
The fittest of the fittest shall enter
Wicked shall not enter
Wicked shall not enter
People come and see it flow.
Roll, roll, roll,
People come and see the river flow
A go roll, a go roll, a go roll, a go roll
