To have your dreams fulfilled requires faith and belief

You must follow your heart and your istinct
If you wanna reach and have some peace
The dream haffi fulfilled

When I look at what Jah has done
Oh when I look at where I’m coming from

Guh through the break of day

And when the night dew falls
Kick down Babylon wall

Trust myself in this time (trust myself in this time)

Trust myself in this time (trust myself in this time)
Are you a beliver (are you a beliver?)
Trust yourself in this time

Through the gift of God and my highly blessed soul
I’ll sing Words of Wisdom for my people

Givin thanks to the sea I liberate my feelings
Believe in you believe in what you do
Even in the tuffest moment stay true

If you wanna be a lover of the life
Your mind shall be open if you wanna be the strongest

Nuff A Dem ft. General Levy

Everytime I give love , Yes I will receive it
Everytime I give praise the vision is getting clear
Wah

See nuff a dem a live in poverty
Nuff a dem a live in misery
So tell me how much longer
How much longer?

Why the poor a get poorer and the rich a get richer?
If we choose to do nothing, nothing is going to change
Why we ignore? How can we forget?
Some prefer talk about something else cause the truth for them sound too sad
Emigration since the beginning
The world is our home that’s what I’m feeling
Unity is salvation, play with your brothers drums of rebellion
Tear down barriers and walls and start to live in love
Revolution start in our hearts
Time is now, the time is now to stand together and sing out loud
Chant out, time is now to chant out One Destiny One Sound
The key of happiness is not the richness
Too many empty souls slave of a system build on business
To heal yourself from the illness
Change the vision of your life and be fearless
Love is my choice
I’m not afraid to listen to my inner voice
I can see clear when my heart rejoice
I act with love, I give it all
It’s a blessing from above
How many times we have to fight to survive
Tell me when will find
Peace and justice for the entire human kind
For the power that we have we can heal ourselves
Yes, with the power that we have we can heal ourselves
Everyday Is War ft. M1 Dead Prez
Everyday is war
More Justice , more peace
We live in a world ruled bu hypocrites
No more atrocities
Now it’s time to live in a conscious way
This is my introduction
My name Sista Awa representing freedom
And some a dem a ask me where me come from
Original Sene-Gyal from Africa
Let’s talk about you and me
What we really need is humanity
No more corruption . no more distruction
We break the chain , Fyah burn slavery!
And He knows it feels it
Is connected to your soul it’s real
It’s like gold and silver
Babylon it’s oh so cold , Let’s live up!
We gotta live a better way,
That’s the first thing that I think when I wake up everyday
Look around what would my brother and my sister say
Life is not a game
I ain’t got to play!
Everyday is war
More Justice , more peace
We live in a world ruled bu hypocrites
No more atrocities
Now it’s time to live in a conscious way
(M1 DEAD PREZ)
I want liberation, right now!
Revolution , Somehow!
Some day , real change!
(M1 DEAD PREZ)
In My Name
This is a question for you
Are you gonna listen to me?
My motherland is so close to me
That still I cant believe I’m so far away
Need to go there and water my roots
The door of my heart is open for you
Are you gonna come into my life?
I’ve been waiting for twenty years
Now my dream’s becoming real
I’ve been waiting for so long
But that’s okay ‘cause this time, it made me strong
Africa in my name
African from that day
Since my mother chose to give life to me
Dont you leave stay within me
Now you try to win back my love
The way you do it its’s so sweet and pure
I defend you in front of everyone
Take my hand ‘cause I forgave you since day one
When I see you I see the reflection of me
These your words which I printed in my mind and
I feel the same thing
And I don’t know even if I really know you
But I will be forever gratefull
And I dont know even if you really know me
There will be time to know me
Peace Of Mind
I know he wants me
And i’ll be there for him
I’ve always been real like the things I sing
So I vent through this melody
I tried to be real
Even if I was afraid of what it could reveal
I’ve learnt to be honest and clear
Clean hearts with no fear
I had to fight so many times
So now i’m stronger
To face too many lies
Of those who look like the joker
Stay away from me with your bad vibes
I can’t waste no more times
They try to fool me, they pretend to me
But trough them I see , them afraid to see
They don’t know the ABC, but I face reality
When I’m with you, a moment in time
You are my joy, you’re my peace of mind
He said that we need it
And I agree
He’s always been there for me
He makes me feel happy
He always keep it real, and that’s how it feels
Whispering words of wisdom, it’s seems so surreal
I’ve always been real
Even if i was afraid of what it could reveal
Trust in me , love is our remedy
You’re my destiny, my favourite human being
The perfect half for me , you see
That’s what I feel, you’re my one and only king
If I tell you what I feel you’ll never believe me
Listen what I see
I know it won’t happen never more in life
I was so young and confused but I tried to mind
Even when some made me loose the Path
I walked with smile , But I would go back in time
When I’m with you, a moment in time
You are my joy, you’re my peace of mind
My joy... my life... in my mind
Dentro Di Me ft. Tommy Kuti
Piove fuori dalla mia finestra
Ho il cuore a pezzi , sai che ho solo questo
Mille pensieri su quello che è stato
Ho un vortice in testa
Non ti ho dato retta
Ora ho solo me stessa ,
E non vado di fretta
Passerà la tempesta..
Non ha funzionato ma va bene
Ora sono una nuova me
Quello che ho imparato mi appartiene
Non ho più paura di cader
A volte il destino mi pone una sfida
Mi rialzo più forte di prima
so bene che faró fatica
la vita è fatta di corse in salita
inna de bakklefield love is my shield
so me never fear
there's no place fe de wiked man here
me neva again will be sheding my tears
Tutto quello che ti serve è dentro di te
Tutto quello che ti serve è dentro di te
Quindi impara a curarti da sola
Sei una donna diversa da ora
Smetti di piangere asciuga lacrime
Alzati e volta
Cosi sarai più forte , Lei guarda dentro al cuore
Solo tu hai le risposte...
Per una volta sento che
Ora la forza è dentro me
E in ció che ho scelto un senso c’è
E non mi serve un mentore
Non ha funzionato ma va bene
Ora sono una nuova me
Quello che ho imparato mi appartiene
Non ho più paura di cader
Inna de bakklefield love is my shield
so me never fear
there's no place fe de wiked man here
me neva again will be sheding my tears
Tutto quello che ti serve è dentro di te
Tutto quello che ti serve è dentro di te
Quindi impara a curarti da sola
Sei una donna diversa da ora
Smetti di piangere asciuga lacrime
Alzati e volta
Cosi sarai più forte , Lei guarda dentro al cuore
Solo tu hai le risposte...
Hai tutto quello che ti serve
Tu poi non ne sei cosciente
Il tuo passato che ti cerca sempre fa a pugni con il tuo presente
Io lo so com’è , quand’è tutto nero intorno a te
Tu sei come me, se tutto va in polvere
Ritrovi la forza per correre
Non scordarti mai chi sei , anche quando piangi sei
La stessa guerriera
E’ una giornata nera, ripensa agli happy days
Parleranno tu non dargli retta, no non dargli retta
Reagisci tu sei una leonessa, oh sei una leonessa
Hai leccato le tue ferite, ora mi sembri felice
Risplendi come una fenice il tuo cuore sorride
Oggi è un nuovo giorno, asciuga il tuo colto
Lo sai che il mondo è tuo...

Oussou prega, dopo aver lavorato duramente
Ripone le sue speranze in Mame Cheick Ibra Fall
Non scappa dai suoi problemi, li affronta
E' un uomo coraggioso e Baye Fall
che pensa solo a come può essere utile
I suoi figli confidano il lui
Si alza con coraggio e con la sua volontà
Prega per la sua amata
Ousmane crede in se stesso
Ne sono sicuro
Quando vede i suoi fratelli
Sa che è Dio a dare ed è Dio che toglie
Prendi oggi e dai domani
Tuo papà non c'è più, tu sei il suo successore
Oh yes, my friend
Have to be strong like Ion
To ROAR like a lion

Ha cominciato con la sua 'boutique' sulle spalle
Sulla sua testa, reggeva secchi d'acqua e li vendeva chi ne aveva bisogno
E' dovuto partire quando cantavano il nome di Samba Ali Mbaye
Credi in te stesso
Canta ancora
Sarai ripagato per quanto hai aiutato
Dio accoglie le preghiere
Guarda cosa sei diventato
queste tue preghiere per oggi possono bastare
Hai superato te stesso
Non saremo all'altezza di ripagarti per le tue azioni
Hai fatto del tuo meglio
Senza alcun rimpianto
Ancora ti ringrazio,
ho fede in te
Dio è grande
e tu sei grande
Non possiamo che lasciarti nelle mani di Dio

TRADUZIONE- IT
I'm Free ft. Bunna
Verse:
When it is all that's given
Beatiful waves that's missing
I realize right thru di eyes of dem & I won't mix then
For many days I've shifted
Back & forth many missions
I now know what is for me & what not to believe from different
Souls....
I want back my life (I want back my life)
Mi ready fi fight fi di wull ah it
Wit every might fi di wull ah mi
I gotta do what's right (I gotta do what's right)
Mi ready fi war fi di wull ah it
Heal every scar fi di sake of mi
Im taking me back im taking me back
Im freeeee.... I am meeeeee
When the shadows start dancing
it’s something outta control
the confliction that I feel
a perception that is real
smiles is what now we are missing
my time goes by
it’s never late to try
to reach the dream that flew away
I’m sure I’m not alone to keep on holding on
we can win the fight together
tomorrow sun will shine brighter
RIT.
Whip Lash Crack
Feel the whip lash back
Hear the whip lash crack
Something is holding us back
Is it my shade of black?
Is it my shade of black?
VERSE 1
Is it the ones who sell crack?
Is it the planes they hijack?
Is it the campaigns they hack?
Is it the land that they frack?
Another terror attack?
Another jewel in their sack
Mothers torn from their pack
Another form to send back >
BRIDGE 1
Is this the wicked man trap?
Is it the grade that I lack? / Is it the high grade I lack?
Something is holding us back
Is it my shade of black?
VERSE 2
Are the stories they read us,
Designed to mislead us?
Will they shelter and breed us?
Or uproot and weed us?
The truth is they need us,
Still they claim to have freed us.
Can we trust those who lead us,
To protect and to feed us?
Or should we take heed?____
And sow a little seed
Should we question our greed?
Every colour, race and creed
Should we study anthropology?
Or wait for an apology?
Should we look to archaeology?
Or contemplate cosmology?
BRIDGE 2
Is the grade that I lack
Due to the shade of my back?
Or are the social constructs like facts
holding us back?
CHORUS
Feel the whip lash back
Hear the whip lash crack
Something is holding us back
Is it my shade of black?
Is it my shade of black?
VERSE 3
Hear the wolves in their pack
statements to retract
Hear the wolves in their pack
Another disease to contract
Hear the wolves in their pack
Another story to distract
Hear the wolves in their pack
Another number to subtract
BRIDGE 1
Is this the wicked man trap?
Is it the grade that I lack? / Is it the high grade I lack?
Something is holding us back
Is it my shade of black?
VERSE 4
Should we move to the country?
And plant a new tree?
Or can we stay in the city?
And show a little pity?
With so much pollution,
Can we find the solution?
Should we start a revolution?
Or submit to evolution?
DOUBLE CHORUS
END

Chorus:
Babylon is burning down
Revolution is now
Di people dem callin'
Becah di wicked heart troubled his days
Babywrong is turning now
Ancestry more than proud
Yuh see di people dem ballin'
Oh yes di victory starts today
Verse 1:
Sweetest sounds of the firm & proud
Indigo children reversed their frowns
Took back what's rightfully theirs and how
Dem fix up majesty's crown
Mi tell unu...
Government dig hole weh dem can't be found
Uprising yutes are di talk of di town
As we know why..dem try to decease
We no longer run from police
Verse 2:
Rome bun down..couldn't take from me
Greece bun down..couldn't take from me
Ah babylon bun down..can't take from me
Aye...wull ah dem cyaa tek from me
America bun down..couldn't take from me
Russia fi bun..cyaa take from me
Wicked heart people cyaa tek from me
Wicked heart people cyaa tek from mee
Di ponti e di mondi
…DI PONTI E DI MONDI…
DI PONTI E DI MONDI IO TI PARLERÒ
DI TUTTE QUELLE STRADE SU CUI VIAGGERÒ
NON SAI QUANTI MURI ABBATTERÒ
PERCHÉ INFONDO IO CHI SONO GIÀ LO SO
DI PONTI E DI MONDI IO TI PARLERÒ
DI TUTTE QUELLE STRADE CHE IO CAMBIERÒ
TI ASPETTO MA FAI PRESTO…PERÒ
CHE QUALCUNO CHE MI ASPETTA IO CE L’HO
QUESTO È IL FUTURO DI NOI FIGLI INVISIBILI
CHE CI FA SENTIRE UNITI E INDIVISIBILI
MI METTO OGNI GIORNO A CONFRONTO
CON I MIEI SIMILI, CON I MIEI LIMITI, CON I MIEI LIVIDI
FORSE C’È QUALCUNO CHE ANCORA NON SA
COME SI MISURA LA FELICITÀ
LA SUPERFICIE, LA SUA ESTENSIONE
PESO SPECIFICO, VOLUME
NON C’È SISTEMA NÉ CONVENZIONE
CONTA SOLO ESSER FELICI COME
QUANDO AL MATTINO VEDO IL MARE DALLA FINESTRA
QUANDO SORGE IL SOLE SULLA MIA TERRA
QUANDO RIDI E DICI CHE SONO BELLA
PUOI FIDARTI DI ME, PUOI CURARTI DI ME
IO NON SONO UNA MINACCIA
SONO QUI TRA LE TUE BRACCIA
NON È MAI FACILE, TUTTO GIRA SENZA UN PERCHÉ
E NON IMPORTA UN GRANCHÈ
NON È CONTROLLABILE
