And their evil madness
Hurtin' innocent people like me and you

Only to find that Miami Vice knew their name (and knew their name)
Bad boys - get outta town - yeah

Bad boys-you'd better get outta town
Now they were runnin' like rats
Bad boys - get outta town - yeah

And they face the bounty hunter
And their creature reputation can't
Pull their frown-No it can't
Eye to eye
Now they're facing the conquering liar
'Gainst the good thinking people, me and you-
I'm saying
Bad boys - you'd better get outta town
You have to leave ya 'hind

Why do the birds sing songs
To warm a heart of love for you each day?
Why do the breeze blow so strong
To prove the power of love is here to stay?
(Chorus)
We got to be able to melt with everyone
Before you find your groove
We got to try and understand everything
Before you make your move
Before you make your move
Why do the love we have inside
Refuse to be a part of someone else?
Why do we always run and hide
To keep a love so stocked upon a shelf?
(Chorus)
We got to be able to melt with everyone yeh
Before you find your groove
We got to try and understand everything
Before you make your move
Before you find your groove
Before you make your move
(Keyboard Solo)
Before you make your move
(You don't got nothing to prove)
Before you make your move
Before you make your move
Melt with everyone
You gotta get up and make your move (Repeat)

We could be jammin' reggae
We could be jammin' reggae
(Scat)
She was raised on burgers and fries
Hot dogs, popcorn and chewing gum
She wanted something different in her life
(Always got the snow, craving for the sun)
In the city all her working days
Fantasizing a sweet island holiday
You deserve an ivory trip someone said
When she turned around
She was looking in the eyes of a Dread
Send a telex home to your Mama
Tell her what the Rasta man said
You ain't living to work
But, you're working to live, oooh
So you gotta, gotta, gotta gotta
Grab a little reggae love and dance
We could be jammin'reggae
We could be dancin' all night long
We should be jammin'reggae
We should be dancin' 'til the morning sun
Hundred smackers in her Levi's
The girl took off into the friendly skies
She couldn't believe her own very eyes
She was in for a big surprise
Jammin' on the beach in the middle of the night
Was her Mama as plain as daylight
Dancin' with the same Dread who turned around to her and said
Send a telex home to your Papa
Tell him that you're never gonna come on home
Cause in your whole life you've never been happier
So he'd better, better Daddy, please, you'd better
Come on down, Oh
We could be jammin' reggae
We could be dancin' all night long
We should be jammin' reggae
A lonely soul was I without direction
I didn't know which way that I had to go
I sought the clues to life's unanswered
Questions
My mind's heart had to know
I heard you call while wandering through
The darkness
I'd walk a million miles to find that endless
Voice
That speaks to me when I am in temptation
Echoing my choice
Then you said, "Seek ye shall find
I've been with you through all time"
(Chorus "A")
"And if you're thirsty I will quench you
With my love
And if you're hungry I will feed you
With my word
And all I ask of you is that you love as I do'
(Chorus "B")
"And if you lose your way I'll lead you
To my love
From a sinful life I'll cleanse you
In my love
For creation bears a witness of my love"
(Repeat once)
I know that
(Chorus "C")
You should know it's time for the world to
(Try Jah Love)
The only love that can bring peace is
(Jah, Jah Love)
So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Jah Love
Love,Love,Love,Love
I know that
Without it there'd be no tomorrow (Try Jah Love)
Who lifts broken hearts up from sorrow
(Try Jah Love)
So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love
Love,Love,Love,Love
I know that
(Chorus "C" -repeat once)
You know that
(Chorus "C" -repeat once)
(Guitar Solo)
A timeless thought a touch of close encounter
Your love embraced me and took over my life
And now I'm new your strength has made me
Change my ways from wrong to right
Please Father please this world we live
Has faltered
Deliver us from all this evil and pain
God Bless the heart that loves unto his brother
Praising out your Name
Then he said, "Be not Afraid
Those who believe I will save"
(Chorus "A" -repeat)
I wonder
When will the world wake up and start to
(Try Jah Love)
People have to make up their mind to
(Jah, Jah Love)
So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love
Love,Love,Love,Love
I know that
Once you begin you won't regret you
(Try Jah Love)
The ultimate life satisfaction (Jah, Jah Love)

But Right is the only reason to (Try Jah Love)
The key to inner satisfaction (Jah, Jah Love)

Marcus Garvey, he lives on
He told his people they've got to be strong
One God, one aim, one destiny
Let Marcus Garvey live in you and me - well -
Everybody in here-
Reach out and touch somebody's hand-
Say it loud, loud as you can
Then raise your hands in the air
Everybody say yeah
Say the spirit lives
Say the spirit lives yeah
Said it's living in the people
Can't you see
It lives in you and me
It lives in the tall oak tree-oh
Who do you know
That can make the lily white snow
Make the little teeny baby grow
Make that water flow
And with all these things that I have seen
Don't you know I truly believe trat
The spirit lives
It's living in the people
It will never die
It keeps comin' back and comin' back and comin' back
And it's the same every time
Said you and me
let the spirit set you free
Can't you, can't you see
Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Free as love can be
That's how free our love should be
We work our hearts for them day and night
But nothing ever seems to please them right
And every time you turn around
Somebody's trying to put you down
And every time you call a play
Some clown's getting in your way
Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Oh yeah, it's coming for to carry me home
Sometimes I wish that I
Could fly like a bird in the sky
Rise up above humanity
And mold us all in one with unity
'Cause every time you try to make a stride
Somebody want to check your life
Every time you try to go ahead
Somebody wish you'd step aside instead
Swing low, Jah Jah chariot
Swing low, Jah Jah chariot
Swing low, Jah Jah chariot
Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

People call you so much, dirty names
They using you to play their kinky games
And when they're done, they turn their backs on you
Sayin' you're washed up, sad and blue
But now you finally reached the top
That's when you think the dogging stops
They can't find one thing to say
They got to eat their words, day by day
You know why 'cause I love you
Ooh, we yes and I just can't stop
And I need you
All the way to the top
Love you with a sense of purpose
Such a sense of purpose
Love you with a sense of purpose
Such a sense of purpose

Every day they just chit and chat
And even when they see us too
They wonder why I got you, I know why
'Cause I love you
Ooh, we yest and I just can't stop
And I need you, all the way
To the top
Love you with a sense of purpose
Such a sense of purpose

Why do the birds sing songs
To warm a heart of love for you each day?
Why do the breeze blow so strong
To prove the power of love is here to stay?
(Chorus)
We got to be able to melt with everyone
Before you find your groove
We got to try and understand everything
Before you make your move
Before you make your move
Why do the love we have inside
Refuse to be a part of someone else?
Why do we always run and hide
To keep a love so stocked upon a shelf?
(Chorus)
We got to be able to melt with everyone yeh
Before you find your groove
We got to try and understand everything
Before you make your move
Before you find your groove
Before you make your move
(Keyboard Solo)
Before you make your move
(You don't got nothing to prove)
Before you make your move
Before you make your move
Melt with everyone

said it was 96 degrees in the shade
ten thousand soldiers on parade
taking i and i to meet a big fat boy
sent from overseas
the queen employ
excellency before you i come
with my representation
you know where i'm coming from
you caught me on the loose
fighting to be free
now you show me a noose
on the cotton tree
entertainment for you
martyrdom for me
96 degrees in the shade
real hot in the shade
some may suffer and some may burn
but i know that one day my people will learn
as sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky
today i stand here a victim the truth is I'll never die
96 degrees in the shade
Everyone's coming from near and far
To hear Jah music play
Under the mighty moon and stars
It's just the sound of the real roots people
Say, say, you've got your reggae box
Tune me in, man, it's turned way up
I can smell the reggae pot
Ooh, got my feet on fire, it's so hot
Say, oh...
We' re gonna rock
We've come to rock, we've come to rave
We've come to have some fun
Rockin' and ravin'
We've come to dance it all night
Until the morning sun
Rockin' and ravin'
We've come to rock, we've come to rave
We've come to have some fun
We've come to dance it all night long
Until the morning sun
Rosanna, it's getting hotter
Come make it rock, click it, little daughter
Oh, oh
What you do?
Eat your breadfruit, your aki and kassava
Drinking cool limeade
Sitting in the shade
You say you come from Ottawa
Well, I come from Jamaica
And there's no reason, baby
Why we can't dance together
Oh, we can't dance together
Sing it!
We've come to rock, we've come to rave
We've come to have some fun
Rockin' and ravin'
We've come to dance it all night

Chorus "A")
Save me save me save me save me
Baby won't you save me
From this misery
(Chorus "B")
Save me, won't you, won't you, save me
Baby won't you save me
From this misery
I wake up crying
After tossing and turning
And yearning the whole night long
Pretty baby since you went away
I haven't spent a happy day
I wake up crying after
Sobbing and sighing and wondering
Just what went wrong
Pretty baby I was good to you
Why you gone and make me blue
I need your love to light up the night
I need your heart to make things right
I'm so unhappy on my own
Don't, don't leave me sad and lonely
(Chorus "A" & "B")
I wake up crying
After tossing and turning
And yearning the whole night long
Pretty baby please come back to me
Save me from this misery
Oh I need your love to light up the night
I and I heart to make things alright
I'm so unhappy on my own
Don't, don't leave me sad and lonely
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be, how
When I look into the mirror I see someone
Who's life will never be the same again
'Cause they say that what we found forbidden love, love
And the question we are up against
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
I've got to make that girl mine
I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you
We both know the feeling's fine
Oh, but society says that it should never, never be
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
Is reason ruling passion
When the power of attraction
Tempt us with satisfaction
Oh, it's just a natural reaction
This ain't no game we're playing
Regardless of what they're saying
Something inside is calling
So let them keep on talking
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how can it be
If it's love, girl, how could it be forbidden
The way I feel just can't remain hidden
Folks may talk but I don't care
'Cause wherever you are, girl, I wanna be there
Nothing comes close to the way you smile
And girl, your touch just drives me wild
You're everything I dream of
How could it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how
Passion, pain, it's all the same
'Cause when it comes to you
This love is not a game for fame
'Cause my claim is loving you
And I'll break my back just to be true
We were put here for a special reason
And you're the pot that's cooking and I'm the seasoning
You're everything I dream of
How could it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be, how
Loving you, girl, is marvelous
And when you're around my knees get nervous
For you, I need a word that describes
And the word I use is bonafide
From the first time ever I saw your face
In my heart, I created a special space
You're everything I dream of
How could it be forbidden if it's love
How can it be forbidden if it's love
How, how
If it's love, girl, how could it be forbidden
The way I feel just can't remain hidden
Folks may talk but I don't care
'Cause wherever you are, girl, I wanna be there
Nothing comes close to the way you smile
And girl, your touch just drives me wild
You're everything I dream of

Children sing with me
Oooh, oooh
Won't you stay tuned to
Reggae radio station rockin' through the nation
Stay with me please, for a while
So we can watch the morning sunrise
Stay with me please, for a while, so we can
Catch the rays exploding as they open our eyes
Rock me like the ocean breeze, so tender
Rock me to the rhythm of love we surrender
Rock me, hotter than the midday sun in Sahara
Rock me, stronger, I won't slip away, oh yes, I'll stay longer
Stay with me please, for a while and as we
Float away the star beams calling us to fly
Rock me like the ocean breeze, so tender
Rock me to the rhythm of love we surrender
Rock me, hotter than the midday sun in Sahara
Rock me, stronger, I won't slip away, oh yes, I'll stay longer
Stay with me please for a while, so we can
Capture memories that's gonna last forever
Stay with me, for a while and we'll exchange a smile
Whenever we remember how you rock me
Rock me like the ocean breeze, so tender
Rock me to the rhythm of love we surrender
Rock me, hotter than the midday sun in Sahara
Ooh, baby

Don't wanna lose it
Got my heart on the line
I got my heart on the line
Don't wanna lose it
Got my heart on the line
Girl, in you I found
What made me turn my life around
My love it's oh, so clear
But I'm gonna stay so near
You ask me am I serious
My love for you is so, so precious
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
(I don't wanna lose this feeling)
In a world with little meaning
You gave my life some feeling
And through your arms I found
Our love, it's on solid ground, oh
You ask me am I crazy
Maybe it could be that I love you, baby
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
Baby, I don't wanna lose this feeling

And I don't wanna feel
If you'll walk through the door
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
No, I don't wanna lose this feeling
(I don't wanna lose this feeling)
A million years could not change
My life was one with you
You brighten everyday
Even when the dark clouds won't go away
Yes, you know I'm serious
And my love for you is so, so precious
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
(I don't wanna lose this feeling)
I got my heart on the line
Just don't wanna lose it
Got my heart on the line
I got my heart on the line
Just don't wanna lose it
I don't wanna lose this feeling
I don't wanna lose this feeling
Now that we found love what are we gonna do with it?

There's trouble on every doorstep, no
wonder people close their doors
There's so much worry on everybody's mind
'til they can't take anymore
There's heartbreak on every corner, so
people want to shut their eyes
I'm only someone in an ocean of someones,
but I think we have got to try
(Chorus)
We're living in a world of uncertainty
And we've got to make the most of our time
(but) Where love is concerned there's one
guarantee
If you lose heart you can have this heart of mine
Sometimes I look out of my window and I see
the world as it is in my dreams
I feel the love that's in everybody's heart,
things aren't as bad as they seem
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I know what it's like to be afraid to make a move
Because you've heard the odds are never on your side
I know how it feels to need somebody to be closer to
You need love to get through
My mind is in a spin
Don't know where I've been
This world keeps going round
There's no love to be found
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
Sit there and let the children cry
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
Sit there and let good people die
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
My mind is so confused
There's no cure for my blues
I, ya, I have been used
Like a carpenter uses a tool
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
Sit there and let the children cry
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
How can you?
Sit there and let good people die
Never in this world my dear
I, so much war and fear
Love is gonna come our way
By William Clarke
You've got the Power
You've got the Power Ahoy
I-been to so many places not knowing just
what I'd find
I seen so many different faces but they
always stay fresh in my mind
Some of them seem so lonely trying to make it
on their own
Wondering where to turn to knowing you can't
make no blood out of stone
(Chorus "A")
People everywhere they just want to be free
But they find it so hard to he what they gotta be
Gotta he the teaching of their society
(Chorus "B")
Brother you've got the Power to make a
change
Sister you've got the Power rearrange
(Repeat Chorus "A" & "B")
I've been through hard time decisions
When I could not tell right from wrong
But at the end of my destination
I've found out that's just where I belong
(Repeat Chorus "A")
(chorus)

You shoulda-see-me rock you
And if you see me rock you
Music and Lyrics by Stevie Wonder
Jobless people starving babies spreading
over the land
More oppression to the have nots is how you
play your hand
More world fighting is the writing from those
say they know
And if that's true we know just who
you'll be picking to go
But the beat you are playing to what Jah is
saying is wrong
And we do recommend that you stop before
it's too far gone
And I just got to say
You're playing us too close
We in the ghettos
You're playing us too close
The jobless and the hungry
You're playing us too close
Filling up more and more with Frustration
You're playing us too close
We're losing our patience
So take heed and do let it be known that
I've told you today
You're playing us much too close yea
All the teaching of JAH bible you don't
want to obey
But you're writing your own ticket to the price
you will pay
Us you hold hock but the drawback is not
to us alone
Time will make you too a victim before you
see the wrong
And the melody that you are playing is
in the wrong key
For Jah's choirs that sings out to all live
in world harmony
And I just got to say
You're playing us too close
We in the ghettos
You're playing us too close
Red black white brown and yellow poor people
You're playing us too close
The babies are crying
You're playing us too close
Good people are dying
So take heed and do let it be known that
I've told you today
Jah say you're playing us much too close
Now when I was just a little boy my grandfather
use to say to me, "Brother B, trust no shadow
after dark... "It's not till I grew to be a man that
I understand what the old brother was talking
about. You see some people take the liberty to
treat you any way they want to, they feel
some times that you don't have no dignity. But
brother fire de ah mus mus tail him think ah
cool breeze, better watch out easy squeeze
makes no riot my brethren
You're playing us much too close, so why the
Don't you people out there all get up off your
backsides and do something for the worlds for
every living boy, woman, man and girl. There's
hungry people all over starving, have no place
to lay their heads Huh Don't play us so close
Don't play us so close Don't play us so close
(Chorus during rap)
Some a dem rap, none a dem a holler
'Cause Jah say all the musicians shall be there
The players on instruments shall gather
at His feet
You need to raise your conscious high
So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
We need to raise our conscious high
So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
You need to raise your conscious high
So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
(Percussion)
We're gonna raise our conscious high
So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
I'm gonna raise my conscious high
So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
We're gonna raise our conscious high
So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
You've gotta raise your conscious high
So Jab Jah Love can rule the world
I'm gonna raise my conscious high
(W. Clarke, M. Cooper, S. Coore, R. Daley, W. Stewart, S. Stewart)
Oh-ooh- Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Walking out late at night
When all I see is city lights
Feels so cold
The ice was like a vise
There was no where to find
Was looking for some action
That's trouble free
The neon sign said Cairo
As it called out to me
And suddenly I saw your face
A bright Eastern star
Thought I was in a time machin
And history on the Nile
And you were my queen
Pyramid
Her name was Pyramid
You're my dream forever
Come on and hold me
Reach out and touch me
You're my queen forever
Pyramid
Her name was Pyramid
You're my queen forever
It seems that life repeats itself
Girl, your beauty I've seen
Somewhere on a desert sand
In my hidden dreams
You know I won't forget this night
The way you make me feel
Dark archaeologists searching for your face, ooh
Oh, if they only knew-
That you were in my arms
And that you're safe
Her name was Pyramid
You're my dream forever
Come on an' hold me
Come on an' hold me
Reach out and touch me
Reach out and touch me
You're my queen forever
Pyramid
Her name was Pyramid
You're my dream forever
Come on an' hold me
Reach out and touch me
You're my queen forever
keep you poor and ignorant
let you starve and die
all to keep their pockets full
with power, money and lies
in the third world
you won't see a progressing state
in this land corporations rule
it's now way too late
[Chorus]
cause in the 3rd world
no opportunities
in the 3rd world
stuck in between
in the third world
no help from the outside
cause it's a dead world
where you fight to survive
you're washed up in the 3rd world
you work for little pay
no opportunities, no choices
just set backs and delays
now you are left unheard of
you're left without a voice
no way out of this world
kept as their working toy
[Chorus]
ohhhhhh.....in the third world
ohhhhhh.....in the third world
ohhhhhh.....in the third world
keep you poor and ignorant
let you starve and die
all to keep their pockets full
with power, money and lies
in the third world
you won't see a progressing state
in this land corporations rule
it's now way too late
[Chorus]
cause in the 3rd world
no opportunities
in the 3rd world
stuck in between
in the third world
no help from the outside
cause it's a dead world
where you fight to survive
you're washed up in the 3rd world
you work for little pay
no opportunities, no choices
just set backs and delays
now you are left unheard of
you're left without a voice
no way out of this world
kept as their working toy
[Chorus]
ohhhhhh.....in the third world
ohhhhhh.....in the third world
ohhhhhh.....in the third world

Yeah, yeah, yeah. One two. One two. Ayo, Wu-Tangs invincible.
But understand the principle.
My man Muggs, droppin' phat tracks like drugs.
Breaker-breaker one two. Breaker-breaker one two. You're breakin' up.
Peace.
Verse One: Genius
Beams shatter light from the Wu-mansion
Still branchin' off the tree that sparked any MC
And the fool that fell far was the Righteous
It was Cypress, let the media hype this
Promotion niggas snipe this
Push it like tray bags of 72
Kept niggas in suede rags
Microphone cycle, who flips the mic so well?
Hell without bail, in jams packed like jail-cells
Theres no escaping, once my blade starts scrapin'
Niggas flakin', wannabe MCs is shakin'
My sword indeed make more niggas bleed
So swift that the eye couldn't record the speed
I lost ya, wit that offer
Nigga that'll cost ya
Feel the strings of torture
Bust him in the ?half gallon?
Whats that shit he drinkin'?
They got him thinkin'
That he could crash his ship and he'd be sinkin'
I told him " Come back when you're sober."
Drunk ass punk on a motherfuckin' Hunt for Red October
Don't even catch me when I'm blunted
Rhymes start runnin' like bloops on a SB-1200
Instruments the terror on warships, its corporate
Visual niggas paint portraits
Verse Two: RZA
Check the mic lines for wire-taps
...we're under attack, man your stations, take aim, proceed...
Fire back, all hands on deck
Cadet, Vets, insert cassette
Tracks snap heads like berettes
Catch web sites like Internet
...team, I'm detecting vehicles approaching from the East...
Pass me the infra-red binoculars Captain so I can see
Sound the alarm
Call for the suicidal kamikaze ninjas with the bombs
Flashes of neon, all we saw was flying arms
Anytime I come by, alumni cut short their air supply
Send 'em back like George McFly
I be holdin' this
Travel ground like a motorist
Poisonous gas released from my track is odorless and tasteless
Like Ghost is Face-less
Which allowed the God to bring it back, it be the hundred cases
MCs heads weave like trees in a breeze to rhymes like these
Underwater flow strikes like torpedos
You'll get plugged more than Del Rio
Played short like De Vito
Split the fuck up like Mike Jakatito
Sword cut sharper than concorde needles
Call my second private
...tell em Righteous importing messages to Cypress...
I heard your crew assisted on the island with Dr. Titus
Any chance of releasing the new deadly virus?
To infiltrate the Western States
Its time to pump out more rap tapes
And use the Wu-Tang symbol to communicate
