- Babylon System
We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That’s the way (way) it’s going to be. You don’t know!
You can’t educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin’ ‘bout my freedom) Talkin’ ‘bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
- Dancing Shoes
Who's gonna dance with me tonight
We're gonna dance till our legs feel kind of tired
But we won't care cause we've got the blues

We're going skanking all night long
Just as long as they play our song
- Get Up, Stand Up

Preacher man, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth
- Is This Love
I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
- Jamming

- Rasta Man Chant
Hear the words of the Rastaman say:
"Babylon, you throne gone down, gone down;
Babylon, you throne gone down."
Said I hear the words of the Iyaman say:
"Babylon, you throne gone down, gone down;
Babylon, you throne gone down."

- Redemption Song
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
- Ride Natty Ride
Rub, rub, rubby-doo-day;
Rum-pum-pum a-rum-pum-pum-pum!

And he's got to fulfill that mission
To see his hurt is their greatest ambition, yeah!
But-a we will survive in this world of competition,
'Cause no matter what they do
Natty keep on comin'through,
- Send Me That Love
вот тебе текст, братишка, напевай
Ooooh, ooooh, oooh
Send me that love,
I've been created for
As the sunshine is above, uh
There is someone for me, to love
- She's Gone
My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is gone).
She had left me a note hanging on my door:
She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more.
The pressure around me - just couldn't see;
She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free.
Fools have tried, yeah - wisemen have failed:
Oh, listen to me, honey: life could never be another jail.
- So Much Trouble In The World
В мире слишком много проблем

Освяти мои глаза этим утром

В том виде, как все земное происходит
Может случится все, что угодно
- Three Little Birds
Don't worry about a thing
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright
Singin', Don't worry about a thing,

Smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin', This is my message to you-u-u.
- Trenchtown Rock
This, I wanna tell you, is the Trenchtown experience
All the way from Trenchtown, Jamaica
Bob Marley and the Wailers, come on!
One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain
One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain
So hit me with music, hit me with music now, yeah
Hit me with music, hit me with music now, got to say
- Waiting In Vain
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.

Life is one big road with lots of signs,
- Who The Cap Fit
Man to man is so unjust, children:
Ya don't know who to trust.
Your worst enemy could be your best friend,
And your best friend your worst enemy.
Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you.
Only your friend know your secrets,
