7. BRUISES

All I want to do is make the people rock
But them I heard dem der words
I never trusted you lot
And why don't you go back to Africa
From I heard that sound these a vibe non-stop, right?
Round 1, i'll tie you up in knots
You caught me with a right, is that all you got?
Let's make our way to the parking lot
Coz I know one of us have got to drop
Winners losers mind confuser
Step in the ring and you know get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump inna de ring and you know you get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
People should know better
It's not hard or it's not clever
Dem ah walk in a drunkard crew
And dem are look violence
Through intoxication
They want to start a confrontation
But they ain't got the sense or co-ordination
Who you looking at? For pray clowns be storking
All liquored up, pay no mind keep walking
Wrong move there in your face for a fight
To explode with a right upper cut dynamite
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump in the ring and you know get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump inna de ring and you know you get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
He's had enuff he ain't getting up
Winners losers mind confuser
Step in the ring and you know get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump inna de ring and you know you get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
Bruises

We in ah heavy weight style and we kick it

And we go home and we make the room tear down

10. FIRING THE LOVE

You're just a big Jinel,
Loves hate professional
Charlatan, Now who can tell?
They'll take you straight to hell
Love burns perpetual
Locked in a broken cell
Grave passion is denied
Guilty of what? She cried

Am in love with you but are you in love with me
Firing the love what, firing the love what
Firing the love firing the ho

Wrong move you'll break your neck
Its time you come correct
Give thanks 4 daily bread
Go wash your dirty head

The original troglodyte
Dressed up like dolomite
One match the worlds alight
Dogma can make you fight

Am in love with you but are you in love with me
Firing the love what, firing the love what
Firing the love firing the ho

How much do you love me but i hate you love
Am in love with you but are you in love with me
Firing the love what, firing the love what
Firing the love firing the ho

Fishy in the water fishy in the sea
Who'd you love best fishy or me


11. TEARS

This just aint fair
What you trying do to me
Trying make me crazy
Telling me just how it should be
And ive got to know
Which way are we gunner go
Gunner take it fast or slow
But with you I never know

Its never the same these things that your saying
And who is to blame this world it is swaying

I know when youre lying
Theres no point in crying

Well if thats how the girl is treating you man,
youre out of your mind
She is disrespecting the programme
and you cant see the signs
The girls shes got you like a puppet,
man youre deaf or youre blind

Blackmail you throw
Using me emotionally
That aint how it should be
Lock me up and eat the key
Let your love flow
Thats the way its meant to be
Love should flow more easily
Theres enough for you and me

Its never the same these game that youre playing
And who is to blame my world it is swaying

I know when youre lying
Theres no point in crying
Those crocodile tears wont work
Stop using your tears


12. WORLD DOMINATION

De Dread ah come
De Dread ah come
De Dread ah come co come co come
De Dread ah come what
De Dread ah come what
De Dread ah come co come co come
World domination equals world suffocation
Yer its dread out there you know
Earth confrontation equals earth segregation
Yer its dread out there you know
Man mutilation scientific innovation
Yer its dread out there you know
Chemical reaction could reduce the population
Yer you know they're trying to fix me
But then they break me down again
Yer you know they're trying to fix me
And I can't take no
More domination
Your domination
Biologic hazard's causing world deterioration
Yer its dread out there you know
Adding to palliation environmental situation
Yer its dread out there you know
Chemical reaction would reduce the population
Yer its dread out there you know
Yer you know they're trying to fix me
But then they break me down again
Yer you know they're trying to fix me
And I can't take no
More domination
Your domination
Yer its dread out there you know
Yer its dread out there you know
Yer its dread out there you know


13. THE FEAR

Time for talking to, work it all out
Can not the pressure nuff addy youth dem ah shot
Children suffering screams are in vain
An they're dealing with the tormenting again and again
Time for stalling lets work it all out
Some will use the tongue to spit their venom about
Sticks and stones hurt and words they can kill
Harassment and oppression, why can't people just chill
The rude boys are coming so get out of here
Find a place to hide because nuff youth dem ah fear
Stand in ah dem way you know you will disappear
The rude boys are coming and I, I just don't fear
We don't fear rude boy get out of here
With your bully boy tactics you disappear
Don't fear rude gal get out of here
With your bad gal business, disappear
In the play yard the battle is on
And who is going to tell them
That their vibes dem is wrong
Teachers shouting lets sort this out
But when she turns her back
They smack you straight in the mouth
Gunner get you with intimidation
Stand up and be counted cause a counteraction
Turn the tables to know how it feels
You would want them to stop if it was them on your heels
The rude boys are coming so get out of here
Find a place to hide because nuff youth dem ah fear
Stand in ah dem way you know you will disappear
The rude boys are coming and I,
I just don't fear
We don't fear rude boy get out of here
With your bully boy tactics you disappear
Don't fear rude gal get out of here
With your bad gal business, disappear

16. BEGINNING OF SORROWS

Roots
Take Head that no man should decieve you
For many shall come and try to lead you
You'll hear of wars and rumours will set
Yet be not troubled it's not the time yet
It is written now it is written now
It's the beginning of sorrows
The beginning of the beginning of
The beginning of sorrows

For nations rising against nations
Kingdoms fighting against kingdoms
There shall be famine world-shaking pesteilence
Yet be not troubled it's not the end yet
It is written now it is written now
It's the beginning of sorrows

Fear not my brethren and my sistren
Jah light soon come fear not my brethren
I have great new, Jah manifestation

The beginning of sorrows
The beginning of sorrows
The beginning of sorrows
The beginning of sorrows

[Matthew 24,4-8]
