This is the Reggae Remedy
The visions and teachings of His Majesty
This is the Reggae Remedy
Emancipation from mental slavery
Ooh my people we’re livin’ in serious time
Principals, morals and values in rapid decline
Corruption in church and government on every continent
Schools don’t teach the truth to our youth
Where can we look for guidance and direction?
Where can we find manna for the people right now?
Rastafari will guide InI with instruction
Teach us our African history so we can reclaim our dignity

Chorus:
This is the Reggae Remedy
The visions and teachings of His Majesty
This is the Reggae Remedy
To free your mind from mental slavery

When we live The One Love Philosophy
One Heart, One Aim One Destiny
Treat our brother & sister with equality
We build stronger nations we know everyone is related
The future is a child’s birthright preserve it
Till one & all are free we’re all held in captivity
These are the teachings of earth’s rightful ruler
Look to the highest region & seek Jah Kingdom
Ithiopia lift up my people’s spirit

Chorus:
This is the Reggae Remedy
The visions and teachings of His Majesty
This is the Reggae Remedy
To free your mind from mental slavery

Fade

We keep on knocking down the doors of oppression
Strong back people keep on stepping
Our constitution isn’t on a piece of paper
It’s in our blood it’s in our DNA
Strength, songs and prayers help keep us alive
We want to see more change & reform in our lifetime

Chorus:
Life is so precious, priceless you see
The moments pass quickly never to repeat
Life is so precious, priceless you see
So, keep your head lifted don’t be deceived

Why is there still tolerance for hate and prejudice?
Why’s there always rumor of war in the media blitz?
We know war is not the answer read it in the books
Good history should repeat not that of conquerors & crooks

Chorus:
Life is so precious, priceless you see
The moments pass quickly never to repeat…

The ways of the hunters & gathers, the farmers & the fisherman
These are the naturalists of earth study and learn from them
Wise tribal elders settle disputes with care
Examples of good leaders can be found everywhere

Chorus:
Life is so precious, priceless you
The moments pass quickly never to repeat
Life is so precious, priceless you see
So, keep your head lifted don’t be deceived

Repeat first verse

Lyrics coming soon . . .

Intro: I praaaaaaaaay, Ohhhhhhh, I praaaay---

Let my people feel my spirit as I cry out for the healing of our wounded souls
Those arrested in development don’t have the tools to help them grow whole
Fear has crippled our society, replace it Jah with surety, we got to take control
If we’re to see our children prosper, watch our grandchildren grow old

Jah, Jah fire is a purifier, we need that cleansin’ to start again
Hotter fire is required to temper us and make us strong

Chorus:
I pray Jah fire burn out our tears, I pray Jah fire burn out our fears
I pray Jah fire burn out our tears, I pray Jah fire burn out our fears

Still waters run deep and it’s dem we haf fi seek to purify our souls
If the youth we’re gonna reach, teach them how to let their talents unfold
We haf fi give more to receive you and care for our needs
Reveal our deepest, inner feelings and keep Jah teachings from growing cold

Jah, Jah fire is a purifier we need that cleasin’ to start again
Hotter fire is required to temper us and make us strong

Chorus:
I pray Jah fire burn out our tears, I pray Jah fire burn out our fears
I pray Jah fire burn out our tears, I pray Jah fire burn out our fears

Riff…..Oh Jah, I pray………Hear me I pray to you

Let my people feel my spirit as I cry out for the healing of our wounded souls
Those arrested in development don’t have the tools to help them grow whole
Fear has crippled our society, replace it Jah with surety, we got to take control
If we’re to see our children prosper, watch our grandchildren grow old

Jah, Jah fire is a purifier, we need that cleasin’ to start again
Hotter fire is required to temper us and make us strong

Chorus:
I pray Jah fire burn out our tears, I pray Jah fire burn out our fears
I pray Jah fire burn out our tears, I pray Jah fire burn out our fears

I pray, I pray….ablib

This is for the Good Bredren Dem
4x fade

They call me Jah’s jewel
because I glow
ignorant fools tho’
try and stop my flow

assaulted and battered
for reasons unknown
it’s like obstacles are being thrown
as I feel the pain inna my bones

my reactionary voice
cold in my head
wants this misfit gone
maybe, even dead!

For a second
I dwell in retaliation mode
And, then reflect to earlier
Singing a song

And, asking the audience
To hum along
To the tune of peace and
Violent reform

And, now forward in time
I wonder why?
What has happened to this guy..
Why?

Our eyes never met
Tho’ I felt his malice intent
As I came crashing down
Hard on the cobbled pavement

From a ground level point of view
With things acutely askew
I could begin to see truth
I was suffering from the City Disease

Were they perpetrate safety and ease
Take a walk, feel the breeze
In the hot summer air
Take a bicycle ride, if you care
When warning signs of danger
Should be posted everywhere
Alerting one to BEWARE
Walk only if you dare

I see how I must look
To a hungry mob
Poverty and envy
Is the public enemy

Equal rights and jusitice
Food on every table
Yeah, right…having a table
No longer a staple

Check how we livin’
The walking dead
Clash
With the
Livin’ dread

Lyrics coming soon . . .

It’s happenin’ to us around us all the time
Changes in your life changes in mine
Always markin’ the passage of time
Check this observation this opinion of mine
If you stick to your goals, hopes and aspirations
In your field of dreams is your imagination
Work hard to achieve in yourself believe
One thing that the cosmos guarantees is that

Chorus:
Change Will Come 2X’s (repeat)

The first shall be the last and the last the first
Remember the meek will inherit the earth
Karma flings bad things right back to you
From the dirt we all come and we will return to
Every single end is a new beginning
What rise up today tomorrow will be falling
Don’t give up on yourself now keep on reachin’
All that you learn you will be teachin’
Yesterday was different not the same
You’re in a positive mood have a better attitude
Change is a verb that’s an action word
Be the change that you want to see in this world

Chorus:
Change Will Come 2X

Bridge:
Change, Change, Change

Winds of Change are blowin’ through this life you no see
Today was for you tomorrow for me
Over-stand that nothing in life remains the same
Trans-formation of reality is a Change
Sufferation is long but never forever
Situations can Change just like the weather
The power of knowledge breaks mental chains
Metamorphin’ through time transcendin’-rearrangin’

Don’t tell me that you’re not seein’
Eyes wide open but you’re daydreamin’
You got solutions you’re not usin’
So, I’m thinkin’ that you don’t mind losin’
Life’s so gritty in the city
Competin’ to exist ain’t pretty
People fightin’ for our daily needs
Everyone becomes a victim
Do the math and you can calculate
Death & destruction will escalate
Six billion people need to eat & sleep
Millions of us homeless out on the street
Those of us who try to make ends meet
Can easily lose our identity
Babylon create this poverty
Poor people lose their house, home & family

Chorus:
Give it up (4X)

Changin’ earth’s atmosphere
Endangerin’ all life forms everywhere
I’d like to shoot a sound bomb to your inner
Ear so my peoples message you will hear
Mister Politician, take care of our needs
Mister Politician read the signs & heed
We’re foulin’ the skies over fishin’ the seas
Bio-chemically designin’ food & plant seeds
Poisoned air surrounds the inner cities
Contamination’s causin’ unknown disease
Divertin’ rivers and destroyin’ all the trees
In the name of greed and vanity
There’s a topic you’re avoidin’
There’s a speech you’re not speakin’
There’s a lesson you’re not teachin’
Mr. politician, tell me what are you thinkin’?
Don’t you see all of us are sinkin’?
The levee’s bus and the water’s not recedin’

Chorus:
Give it up (4X)

No, don’t tell me that you ain’t been seein’
Your eyes wide open but you been dreamin’
Been seein’, not choosin’
So, I’m thinkin’ you don’t mind losin’
Living gritty in the city…

Chorus:
Give it up (4X)

This time we live in is such a test
The crazy situations make your soul unrest
The Man, the Woman we make the babies
And we haf fi bring dem up to be irie
Have you given up on the ideal
That family life is something really, real?
What kind of legacy are we leavin’?
If Mommy & Daddy are always cheatin’?

Chorus:
Guys you can’t do what you want oh no
Stick to your lady
Girls you can do like the guys oh no
And still be a lady
Stick to your lady
Girls you can’t do like the guys oh no
And be a Mama to your babies

All we do the youth are peepin’
Even when we think they’re sleepin’
They’re receiving a subliminal teachin’
They see the way Mom & Daddy are behavin’
The same choices in the future they’ll be makin’
Hearts & families will be breakin’
So, take the time to guide and train them
Uplift them always praise them

Chorus:
Guys you can’t do what you want oh no
Stick to your lady
Girls you can’t be like the guys no, no
And still be a lady
Guys you can’t do what you want oh no
Stick to your lady
Girls you can’t do like the guys oh no
And be a Mama to your babies

Mon and woman we hold the key
To a happy and secure family
No need for us to compete
Together we make the picture complete
Trust in the almighty one
To help parents get the job done
We must give the youth something they can use
Don’t leave them feeling sad & abused

Chorus & ablib out:
