Hey mon, are you rockin’ to the groove
Cause I’m feeling kinda’ smooth
Like a rebel…I don’t care
Let’s all sit down in the sand
If you feed me some reggae music
I’ll tell you a story
About a revolutionary…who carried a tiki torch
He heard the beat of his own drum
His dreads were swaying
Smooth and carefree; he lived for fun
And stared at the moon…I’m just sayin’
He danced to his own hum
Rock steady, mon, he kept rockin’ to the groove
To ise up is to just not care
I’m feelin; kinda’…smooth
Let’s all sit down in the sand

imagine if the sistine chapel had bob on it?
hell son
i smoke more than willie nelson
tryin to get back to the clouds
i fell from
sky
all i wanna do is touch it
tell the heavens it's a stick up
nobody move
it's a supernova in a bottle of wine
and some tree the same color
capitolism divides brothas
puts money between lovers
but i can roll
bare my soul
to a society out of control
i don't wanna jus play play station
on a space station
i wanna uplift the pavement
plant fragrance
give all the jobs to rough vagrants
xanax and kush to all who can't take it
do the jitterbug
mary give you a lil love
and a big hug
she's cool as a fan man
tell the sky
all i wanna do is touch it
you can get sold and sailed away
if you believe what them other bloodclots say
who's ready for another cold war?
hey
the constant fear of nuclear winter?
hey
somebody tell the sky
all i wanna do is touch it
colorado and washington
make me wanna wash again
floss again
be a boss again
never go back to the booze NY or boston
never again get lost in
the pure fucking hatred
of just tryin to find parkin
these dogs are barkin
tired of walkin
like a 1/4 is a felony
to hell with me
i already got 2 strikes
i'll get thrown away
forgot like bill bellamy
people tellin me
jus quit smoking
while i'm choking
on this life love potion
fluid motion and notions
of the next one i'm rollin
forward progress
gotta keep goin
can't get frozen in the motions
sky
all i really wanna do is touch it
hey
sky
all i wanna do is touch it
hey
hell son

Dreadlock Rasta;
No like informa,
No like imposta,
Weed smoke; burning da trees
Mango scented leaves,
Burnt grapefruit scented breeze.
Wolly mammoth size locks,
Steal wool, nappy, tied in a knot,
Jamaican colors wrap tie; sitting on top.
I and I, believe it or not.
No woman no cry,
No problem;
Him cool as a rock.
Charles Dickens by his side,
Studying stanzas, deciphering plots.
Prayer's meeting;
meditation- never stop.
Water’s blue waves,
Fresh fish after 12’o clock.
Under the bridge, find my spot.
By his sweet Sugarcane from,
Miss Parker Sugarcane shop
Burning a spliff, because the weed
is his only green; pastures plot.
Mary Jane, his only queen be,
Never leaving he; love him or not.

Take her down to the dutty ground
She hurtin but she ready fo another round

Chorus:
Jamaican Rodeo, Rodeo
Don't let her get away
Make her pay
Jamaican Rodeo, Rodeo

TITLE: LOVE IS A GARDEN
my love is a garden
flowers blooming just for you
my love is a garden
birds are singing just for you
oh, the sun is shining
the trees are swinging to the music of the drums
oh, the sun is shining bright
isn't it a love day to become one?
never mind the days that are grey
because the clouds will pass right through
never mind the days of pain and worry
together we can sing away the blues
oh yes
my love is a garden
flowers blooming just for you
my love is a garden
birds are singing just for you
oh, happiness is golden
can you hear the beautiful song of laughter
oh, happiness is golden
dry those tears and find that treasure
there is shelter from the rain
open arms in every direction
there is shelter from animosity and hate
peace is my only religion
oh yes
my love is a garden
flowers blooming just for you
my love is a garden
birds are singing just for you
love is a garden
oh yes love is a garden...

Love Will Survive
yay yay yay
hey girl you're the one
no need to think twice
Let's take the train
gone, gone, gone
let's take this home
you're mine, mine mine
forever on my mind, yay yay
oh oh look at the sun
bring me fortune and rum
take me to the moon
I want to see you soon
let me in your life to escape
to a wonderful world of sin
one more time I'm home
never leaving you alone
the time has come for me and
you to leave this town
how else can we live our lives
without fighting for each other
let’s come together forever
let me touch you, oh so right
obtain love in our own lovely way
play outside in the rain until
the sun comes up and grabs us
I feel good this morning!
let's unite, let's sacrifice
I'm not angry I'm in love
we refuse to be alone
me and you for eternity
for certainty and liberty
Oh girl, put on the record
reach for my hand oh yeah!
raise the cup, raise the cup
no regrets tonight you're mine
Let’s resist the temptation
To stop the fight, I’m yours
Feel my heart yay yay yay
yay yay yay
hey girl you're the one

"jah lucifari"
Babylon come
by da block pon dem head
but I and I cry livity
chant up zion instead
See the lickle rasta
knowing that a star is for I
Every man and woman
chanting, "jah loose a far I"
Never was there another
time outside this now
From Eris, to Selassie
let's invoke the sacred Chao
See I-a-man omega
the end of all these roads
And Ras, him the original
shows us how to go
But Babylon it come
as a stagnancy to us all
and I and I see livity
Chat down all of Babylon's walls
