ISRAEL VIBRATION IV YOU NEVER KNOW - Lacelle Bulgin You never ... you never know. You muma never teach you back a yard. So when YOU left and come abroad, now. You start to holler, say it hard. You even call on Jah Lord's name. Cause you a look little fame. / But you lost at your own game. Things doesn't seem the same. / You've got no one to blame. And I know that did have fe go now. And although I know the vibes still have to flow. Find yourself in another land. Caught up in a different situation. Man you've got to work a plan. / To survive in this ya society. Most people living inna poverty. Open your eyes and surely you will see. What to be just got to be. / You got to stand and face reality. You never know ... you never know. Don't be like a sitting duck. / Waiting your time to get pluck. Make your move and try to improve. Hold your head up and trod as a man. Don't get stuck in the muck. / Try your luck Make a lot of bucks. Make your move and try to improve. You left from you yard. And you reach up abroad. You never know what a gwan back a yard. The system have you moving so slow. Sometimes you want to let go. Having it so hard ... since you left from your yard. FALLING ANGEL - Albert Craig What you don't like for yourself, / don't give it. You with your ego, glutness a greecly, won't achieve it. Telling Jah people that you cam When you are just in for the sham Me say whoa, them blasphemers. / Their plan is to destroy you. You watch them, them blasphemers. Falling angels, them hypnotize you. They just want to be the leaders. TO divide, confuse the readers. Having a form of Godliness on the outside. But they are full of wickedness on the inside. Say them can fool some people sometimes. But they can't fool Jah people in this time. But true we know Jah low is right. Children stand up in Jah light. Failing angel in the garden to make you go wrong. Hypocrite is in the garden, it won't he for long. They don't care who they trample. They are the worst example- They just want to reach the top. They don't care about the flock. They creep into your area / With their devilish behavior. Poisoning the minds of Jah children. Destructive force-Jah will defuse them. Me say whoa, them blasphemers. Their plan is to destroy you. You watch them, them blasphemers. Falling angels, them hypnotize you. REGGAE ROCK AND ROLL - Cecil Spence We're gathering. We're gathering. Sanctifying your soul.

Like do re mi fa so la ti do!! HARD TIMES - Lacelle Bulgin In these times, there's so much different things that are happening. People have to do a little hustling, just to make ends meet. Cost of living swing them off their feet. And a situation Mm that should be trampled way beneath. You don't want to be mixed up in no violence or strife. Yet according to the penetration, it's hard to avoid the bribe. If you want something to buy... You ain't got no money. It's hard to get it. If you need something to eat.... You got to go to find your way. Unemployment is rising. Where there's no employment, it's like you can't find no rent. And all your friends, they've got nothing to lend. Violence in the city. The people protest for their rights. Though their cry seem hopeless, they're still looking for the best. What do you think about the present situation? All I can say is it seem like hatred, anger and confusion. No food on the table, which makes them unable. No food on the table. The children are hungry. Confusion in the city. The people protest for their rights. RACIAL INJUSTICE - Albert Craig Oh when I wake up in the morning, There is no breakfast on my table. When I reach home in the evening, There is no dinner on my table. How many rivers do we have to cross, / Before we can talk to the boss? So dem a loot and a shoot and a wailing. Racial war in the city, now it's burning. So long poor people crying out to you. / You never give a listening ear. So long poor people reaching out to you. / You never seem to really mm In your land of plenty, so many poor, homeless and hungry. So many die on the frontline. So long we slaved on the homeline. So them a root with the truth and them saying, racial war failing tonight. So much promises, so much lies. / Bring more tears to their eyes. So much being said, a little been done. So many crying when there's so much fun. How long will you reap off their labor? Keep them so poor in great hunger. How can you sit there and say you care? When so much pain and sorrows everywhere. Champagne and caviar time. You don't care if Jah come in the morning. So you treat Jah children like swine. And you don't take heed to Jah warning. Racial injustice in the city, yeah. And I yah tell you, it's not pretty now. Poor people in the struggle. / Pressure is rising on the double. Tell you it's bad, bad, bad. / Tell you it's mad. The people sad. So we're trying. Ain't nothing working. So we're crying. The children are dying. It's getting worse. From worse to worse RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE - Lacelle Bulgin Life is just for living. It's your life and you got to choose. Life is something one should never abuse. You've got your trouble, your grief and your pain. You thinking of running, but you're running in vain. You can run but you can't hide. You can run but you can't hide. Tax increase Price increase. / Yet my salary still decrease. Crisis here. Crisis there. And crisis here, there and everywhere. We got to have money. Spending money. Give me that money. A little more money. Scuffling to make a two ends meet. But the cry of unemployment is raving the street. Work all week from a nine to five. But the economic crisis, it's twice as hard to survive. You tell me if I want some fun.... Money make the mare run. / No bother with no back talk. Money talk and a.... It's your life and you got to choose. Life is a something you should never abuse. We need some money. Gimme some money. Tax increase. Price increase. Life is just for living. Life is just for living.

The hawk, the hawk is coming down. The hawk, the hawk is coming down. The hawk is flying so low. He's trying to follow you wherever you go. He's here for a kill. / Because he claim you didn't pay the bill. He circles around. All over town. / Scanning the ground. Then he moves in for another hit.
