Children of Israel take heed
And listen to the words of the prophet
The wages of sin is dead now
The gift of Jah is eternal life
The truth is a fact and we all know that
So there's no need to build no strife
While there is life
Against your brothers or sisters
Or your enemies
There is the book of knowledge, yeah
It's there for those who want to learn the truth
Children of Israel keep listening, yeah
They say the other half has not yet been told
Has not yet been told

Concentration |
Created
By The Father |
|

Holy holy, mmmm, holy holy
It started down in the drag to concentrate
And getting a weekly pay instead of begging every day
Father gave us every little thing to make us try
And help ourselves, and he said he'd help those
Who try to help theirselves
So, if you want to be in that situation
Change your evil ways and join this congregation
And maybe you'll soon be living like the king
That sitteth on his throne
If happiness is far away, it will show up some day
Holy holy holy holy
If you want to live that independent life
Go out and do the work instead of being in a fight
Father knows that you're the chosen one
To perform his works
And you'll be repaid in his holy way, in his holy way
Yeah, yeah
In his holy way, holy way, yeah, holy...

You think out in a conversation
And you sure to be... an illiterate boy
'Cause you could not spell your name
Although your mind is deserted
You replied this is bad
That... You're no good for me
Though I accept your apology
I keep telling you
That discipline yourself
And you say that's nonsense
So I won't say anything at all
But remember wherever you go
You're not to speak aloud in a crowd
'Cause you might be ashamed of yourself
Cause I keep telling you
That disciple yourself
And you say that's nonsense
So I won't say anything at all

And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school…goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
And if that's not lovin' me Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin'
and she hurries down to meet me And I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently
and smiles when she first sees me
'cause she's made that way
And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis

Rolling
Down |
|

Come let me rock with you
I want this dance with you yeah
Come let us get this dance
Cause I'm feeling the sweat
Let me know your name and I'll do the same
Tell me what are you hungry for and I'll soothe your
mind
Don't make me blue
The more we are together the happier we should be
We go a rocking
Said we go a skankin'
|
Rolling Down Rolling Down my cheek
Ever since you went away
Every day is just a cloudy day
And I don't know if it's rain from the skies
Or tears from my eyes falling onto my face
And rolling down my cheek
Hurry back and bring the sun out
And let me be
Your one and only one
With just one kiss stop the rain from the skies
Or tears from my eyes falling onto my face
And rlling down my cheek
All I know is I love you and if I live forever
I'll be laughing you're still here
You will always be everything to me
|
| |
|
|
Should I have faith in you
Should I put my trust in you
And should you let me down
Should I flirt around
Why should I think this way
Thinking that you're going away
There ain't no way we'll stay
Together anymore
Am I to go on now
Living this way
Acting like a child
So young and gay
You don't know
What it means to be loved
You don't know how it feels
To be hugged
Oh no
I've got to tell you this
You're love I've tried to resist
For I just can't go on like this
Pretending each day
You make me feel so mad
You make me feel so sad
Whenever I'm to share your love
Am I to go on now
Living this way
Acting like a child
So young and gay
You don't know
What it means to be loved
You don't know how it feels
To be hugged
Oh no
I won't come down on you
With lightning brimstone or fire
For in my heart
That isn't what I require
My desire is
For you to be true and strong
And then someday you will
Get to know
Where you went wrong
How could I ever go on
Living this way
Acting like a child
So young and gay
You don't know
What it means to be loved
You don't know how it feels
To be loved
Oh no

Baby I'm not joking
And it's not what I'm smoking
I really think you're nice
Don't think I'm kidding you
And don't think I'm bidding
That silver words are you're price
And Oh if you could see
The change you've made in me
That the angels in the skies
Were envious and suprised
That anyone as nice as you
Would chance with me
Baby I'm not joking
And it's not what I'm smoking
I really think you're mine
Don't think I'm kidding
And don't think I'm bidding
These silver words are you're price
And Oh if you could see
The change you've made in me
That the angels in the skies
Were envious and suprised
That anyone as nice as you
Would chance with me
Would chance with me
Chance with me

I remember the song my mother used to sing
Each and every morning
There's the flowers blooming outside
And there aint no love inside
our brothers and sisters lives
So if you cant be good you gotta be carefull
I remeber one rainy day on March
My poor ma , she sent me out to get some starch
I was the only one(that she could depend on)
So I had to shop and cook and clean all day long
Without a father only the one thats deep within
That's why I praise him for his might words,
to teach us day by day oh
I remember the song my mother used to sing
each and every morning
And there aint no love inside
our brothers and sisters lives
Oh the song my mother used to sing

Things
In Life |
To
The Foundation |
|
| |
|
It's not every day we're gonna be the same way
There must be a change somehow
There are bad times and good times, too
So have a little faith in what you do
'Cause you don't seem to realize
The things you've got to face in life
Today you're up, tomorrow you're down
So thank God that you're still around town
Whoa, my brother
Though we have got to work like slaves
Just to eat a piece of bread
But as we go along each day
We'll find happiness to soothe our mind
'Cause it's not every day we're gonna be the same way
There must be a change somehow
There are bad times and good times, too
So have a little faith in what you do, oh yeah
Did you get me, yeah
I want you to understand, yeah things in life
|
I've got to get myself together, yeah
Can't afford to let my faith go, you know
Whenever Jah sun comes shining
And my sisters are all smiling
No one is dying, my people aren't crying
We are living in the love of the Father
Living in the house of the Almighty, yeah
We are living in the love of the Father
Living in the house of the Almighty, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ohh
The days of destruction will never be, oh no
Not hard to the wise man who will see
Yet the fool thinks he knows it all
'Cos here comes later he stumbles and falls
He goes down for a reason, Jah is giving him a beating
To the foundation he'll have to go down
To the foundation, chant him down
To the foundation he'll have to go down
To the foundation, ohh, ohh, oh yeah
Ooh yeah, oh I said
The days of destruction will never be, oh no
Not hard to the wise man who will see
Yet the fool thinks he knows it all
Here comes later he stumbles and falls
He goes down for a reason, Jah is giving him a beating
To the foundation he'll have to go down
To the foundation chant him down
To the foundation he'll have to go down
To the foundation, oh yeah, oh yeah

Tribulation |
Westbound
Train |

Rough as the road might seem to be
I'll be toiling on home
I'll be myself and no one
I'll keep trodding on
A man must go through tribulation
No matter who or where he's from
If he's a man of understanding
He then know that time alone will tell
But fools know not of understanding
That's why they stumble
Never going to their way, oh, yeah
For wisdom is hard for them
A man must go through tribulation
No matter who or where he's from
If he's a man of understanding
He then know that time alone will tell
But fools know not of understanding
That's why they stumble
Never going to their way, oh, yeah
For wisdom is hard for them
Rough as the road might seem to be
I'll be toiling on home
I'll be myself and no one
I'll keep trodding on
A man must go through tribulation

Whoo, ooh, yeah
Last night I weren't at home
I just went for a stroll
But when I returned, I saw this note
Underneath my door, stating
You'll never ever see me again
So now our love must end
You'll never ever see me again
My friend 'cause
I'll be taking this train
I'll be taking westbound train
I'll be going to place
Where there is happiness
So you'll never ever see me again
I'll be taking westbound train
You'll never ever see me again
My friend
No, you'll never ever see me
Whoa, cherry baby
I've gotta find you baby
'Cause I'll never live in a world like that
You want to make me feel sad
And now I'm in very, very steep position
So that's why this train won't miss me
'Cause I've got to find my cherry baby
You'll never ever see me, no
[Unverified]
Whoa, cherry baby
I've gotta find you baby
'Cause I'll never live in a world like that
You want to make me feel sad
And now I'm in very, very steep position
So that's why this train won't miss me
'Cause I've got to find my cherry baby

Why
Seek More / Lets Get Together |
Wichita
Lineman |
|
| |
Let us get together mankind
Let us do the right with all our might
Give a helping hand to the troubled man
Give a helping hand while you can
So if you are rich please help the poor
Why seek more ?
|
I am a lineman for the county,
and I drive the main road,
searching in the sun for another overload.
I hear you singing in the wires.
I can hear you thru the line.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.
It's still on the line.
I know I need a small vacation,
but it don't look like rain,
and if it snows, that stretch down south,
will never stand the strain.
Oh girl I need you more than want you,
and I want you for all time,
and the Wichita Lineman
is still on the line
Oh is on the line.
And I need you more than want you,
and I want you for all time,
and the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.
Is still on the line.
I said he's on the line.
He's on the line.
Oh that's me still on the line.
Searching for you.

Come along yeah and dig my song
Too much wagonist
Too much antagonist
Wolves and Leopards
are trying to kill the sheep and the shepard
Wolves and Leopards
are trying to kill the sheep and the shepard
Too much informers
Too much talebearers
Time to seperate the sheep from the wolves
We're at the crossroads and this is the time of decision
Too much informers
Too much talebearers
Too much watch and peep
Its time the wolves dem leave the sheep
Wolves and Leopards
are trying to kill the sheep and the shepard
Too much informers
Too much talebearers
Wolves and Leopards
are trying to kill the sheep and the shepard
Too much watch and peep
Its time the wolves dem leave the sheep

I will open my mouth in a parable
And sing the dark sayings of old
Doth not wisdom and knowledge stretch
Forth her hands, unto you oh
Children I cry
All the words of my mouth
Speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovia
Or man you will surely fail
In laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward
Better a dinner of herb
Where love is
Than fasting where there is wrath
All the words of my mouth
Speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovia
Or man you will surely fail
Take heed Jah people and live upright
For this is the time that will tell
When the righteous ones shall stand up strong
Oh why did the heathen rage
All the words of my mouth
Speak righteousness
All the days of my life will tell
Take heed of the words of Jehovia
Or man you will surely fail
Live up, live up
Never give up righteousness

Yagga
Yagga / You Will Suffer |
|
|
| |
|
You will get nowhere
If you don't act fair
You will suffer
All day long
How long will it take to let you know
That three into two won't go?
No, no, no, no...
I don't care about your size
'Cause empty barrels make the most noise.
Do you realize?
So stand up and fight your own fight
With all your might.
You better..
'Cause you will suffer...
