To The Foundation (D.Brown cover) Alright.. Whaoh whoah yeah.. Whaoh, whaoh.. I've got to get myself together, yes, Can't afford to let my faith go, you know, Whenever Jah sun comes a shining, And my sisters are all smiling, No one is dying, my people aren't crying. We are living in the love of the Father, Living in the house of the Almighty, We are living in the love of the Father, Living in the house of the Almighty, yeah. The days of destruction will never be, oh no, Not hard for a wise man, who will see, Yet the fool thinks he knows it all, Sooner or later he stumbles and falls, He goes down for a reason, Jah keeps giving him a beating. To the foundation, they'll have to go down, To the foundation, chant them down, To the foundation, they'll have to go down, To the foundation, woah.. yeah, Oh.. oh, well. Alright, Oh.. oh, well, oh yeah. Woah.. yeah.. See, The days of destruction will never be, oh no, Not hard for a wise man, who will see, Yet the fool thinks he knows it all, Sooner or later he stumbles and falls, He goes down for a reason, Jah keeps giving him a beating, to the foundation, they'll have to go down, to the foundation, chant them down, to the foundation, they'll have to go down, to the foundation, woah.. yeah, Ooh.. oh.. To the foundation, Oh.. oh, well..

I've got to get away from here This is not a place for me to stay I've got to take my family And find a quiet place There's a man that lives next door In my neighbourhood In my neighbourhood He gets me down He gets in so late at night Always a fuss and fight Always a fuss and fight All through the night I've got to get away! I really got to get away! Note: This song is a cover released in 1979. The original was by Paragons and first released in 1968.

History of my place it comes from long time ago From when my ancient used to build up stone towers all around Gaudy giant tombs dig in the ground are some of the reasons why I love my roots Really love my roots and culture Warrior blood flowing in my veins To say I’m a local you don't need no evidences Women and men come in a circle to dance with arm in arm they have a tougher stance Sheepskin they wear fearsome mask on their face and ringing bell when they jump and prance Outside look rude but inside they are pure. They will get sure the guests have eaten enough food Conquering invaders kicked away are some of the topic when you read about our tales You get interested by the story of my island when i'm talking upon the riddim whit this rub a dub style

11.	Should I 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Should I (D.Brown cover) Should I have faith in you? Should I put my trust in you? And should you let me down? Should I flirt around.. Why should I think this way? Thinking that you're going away. There ain't no way, we'll stay, Together anymore. Am I to go on now? Living this way. Acting like a child, so young and gay. You don't know, what it means to be loved. You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no! I've got to tell you this, You're love I've tried to resist, For I just can't go on like this, Pretending each day. You make me feel so mad. You make me feel so sad. Whenever I'm to share your love. So how could I ever go on? Living this way. Acting like a child, so young and gay. You don't know, what it means to be loved. You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no! I won't come down on you, With lightning brimstone or fire. For in my heart, that isn't what I require. My desire is, for you to be true and strong, And then someday you will get to know, Where you went wrong. How could I ever go on? Living this way. Acting like a child, so young and gay. You don't know, what it means to be loved. You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no! No, you don't know, what it means to be loved. You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no!
