Believe ft. Kumar

Time Is Now

To have your dreams fulfilled requires faith and belief

To have your dreams fulfilled you haffi be, haffi stay 

Focused on your way (focused on your way)

Be gratefull for every night and day (night and day) 

Cast the devil away (the devil away)

Be gratefull for every night and day (night and day)

If you wanna reach and have some peace 

You must follow your heart and your istinct 

If you wanna reach and have some peace 

The dream haffi fulfilled 

 

I’m a beliver (are you a beliver?)

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

I’m a beliver (are you a beliver?)

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

 

Are you a beliver (are you a beliver?)

Trust yourself in this time 

Cause if you’re believer 

You wont joint all their  lines 

 

When I look at what Jah has done 

Oh when I look at where I’m coming from

Holy Creator 

The Rising Sun 

Sista Awa I’ll sing though the ears to come 

Guh through the break of day 

Rasta deh yah same way 

And when the night dew falls 

Kick down Babylon wall 

I’m a beliver (are you a beliver?)

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

I’m a beliver (are you a beliver?)

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

Are you a beliver (are you a beliver?)

Trust yourself in this time 

Cause if you’re  believer 

You wont joint all their  lines 

 

Through the gift of God and my highly blessed soul 

I’ll sing Words of Wisdom for my people 

I give praise to Him, Givin thanks to the trees 

Givin thanks to the sea I liberate my feelings 

Believe in you believe in what you do 

Even in the tuffest moment stay true 

Do good and be good 

Positive I-science will come back to you 

For sure 

Your heart shall be open if you wanna be

If you wanna be a lover of the life

Your mind shall be open if you wanna be the strongest

Be The Difference

We can make the difference 

Just be the difference 

Inna dis ya world 

 

We can make the difference my people

Together we can change this world 

(By using all the evergy to love)

We can make the difference my people 

Together we can change this world 

 

No competition have no fear to fail 

Don’t let the bad thigs make you feel afraid 

When the flames force you to retreat don’t be afraid 

Don’t be the first to run away 

To step forward, that is my own gain 

To move forward, that is my aim 

I follow my istinct cause is the right way 

 

We can make the difference my people

Together we can change this world 

(By using all the evergy to love)

We can make the difference my people 

Together we can change this world 

 

Positive individuality, Inner integrity 

Joy of life , Source of Creativity 

Dont care about this mad sick society 

Cause them a fool , them a try to deceive you 

Freedom does not mean permissiveness 

Take care of life and take care of yourself 

Life is what is happing right now

So learn to see the things that around

Nuff A Dem ft. General Levy

How should i feel 

Walking down the street 

People live in misery people

I see people live in povery 

How should I feel 

 

I dont put my trust in our fake leaders 

Dem a destroyin the world  , Yes dem a evil 

Poor people dem a recalimin’ rights and freedom 

Situation didn’t change in all these years 

So open up your eyes, open up your ears

Hear mi chantin Words of Wisdom to set we free and 

Everytime I give love , Yes I will receive it 

Everytime I give praise the vision is getting clear 

 

Wah 

 

I see, walking down the street 

See nuff a dem a live in poverty 

Nuff a dem a live in misery 

So tell me how much longer 

How much longer?

A.W.A ft. Irie Child

Hello my darling...sweet lovely lady

Ah yuh di I-Mon callin’...out for your name

I’m taking my chances...so I’m coming your way

Nuff time mi get heart bruk...today’s a new day

So hey Ms. Lady...ah wah gwan

(With you...with you I’m crazy)

Inna love, like, bright up di wull night ...

Cyaah left di fight ... promising vibe

What will take to get you in my life?

Shine suh bright in the day and the night

Aye aye aye

 

Awa, Awa, Awa...I want you

Awa, Awa, Awa...I need you

Awa, Awa,Awa...Got to have you

Awa, Awa, Awa...What will it take

 

Upon this beat, I want to share a melody for ya dis is my gift

For your soul to uplift, memba say, the love me ah show is real

Yes me Lova , ah wah gwaan...

Been through tribulation but we still a move on

Soft like flowa but my roots full of powa

Dem a wonder why

I neva cowa ‘cause my name Sista Awa

Dem a wonder why

 

Take this love to the sky...

It’s so real, it’s true, it’s so real

What I feel for you...

Awa

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

Inna dis ya concrete jungle

 

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

Babywrong
 

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
