Lucky Dube (born: Ermelo Dube) (pronounced: Doo bay) is one of South Africa's best selling artists and one of its most outspoken performers.. Although he initially sang in the traditional Zulu mbaganga style, his move to reggae in 1984 was sparked by his quest to express his anger against the oppression of apartheid. While The Village Voice observed, "The spirit of Lucky Dube's music and dance epitomizes the spirit of Black liberation", "Niceup Magazine" said, "(Dube's) lyrics have brought an original voice to reggae by chronicling the political and spiritual struggles of his South African breathren". Dube's musical talents were obvious from an early age. By the age of nine, he was conducting his school choir.

Drawing inspiration from Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh, he felt the socio-political messages associated with Jamaican reggae were relevant to Apartheid South Africa and any audience in an institutionally racist society. Lucky Philip Dube (August 3, 1964 -- October 18, 2007) was a South African reggae musician.

Seus pais separam-se antes de seu nascimento e ele foi renegado pela sua mãe, Sarah, sua avó materna o batizou de Lucky (Sortudo em inglês), pois ela considera ele um nascimento de sorte. Juntamente com seus dois irmãos, Thandi e Patrick, Dube passou grande parte de sua infância com sua avó, enquanto sua mãe mudou-se para trabalhar. Em 1999 uma entrevista, revelou que sua avó foi descrita como "o amor maior", e que "fez muitas coisas para tornar esta pessoa responsável que sou hoje." Na infância, Dube trabalhou como jardineiro, mas, percebendo que ele não estava ganhando o suficiente para alimentar a sua família, ele começou a frequentar a escola. Lá ele juntou um coro e, com alguns amigos, formou seu primeiro conjunto musical, chamado The Band Air Route. Enquanto estava na escola, ele descobriu o movimento Rastafari. Na idade de 18 anos, Dube juntou seu primo a banda, O Love Brothers, tocando música pop conhecido como Zulu mbaqanga. Sobre o lançamento de seu quinto álbum, Mbaqanga, Dave Segal (que se tornou engenheiro de som de Dube) incentivou-o a largar o "Supersoul". Todos os álbuns foram gravados posteriores como Lucky Dube. Neste momento Dube começou a notar que os fãs estavam respondendo positivamente a algumas canções durante os concertos ao vivo. Inspirado em Jimmy Cliff e Peter Tosh, ele sentiu que o contexto sócio-político mensagens associadas com o reggae jamaicano foram relevantes para uma audiência em uma sociedade Sul-Africana racista. Ele decidiu tentar o novo gênero musical e, em 1984, lançou o mini-álbum "Rastas Never Die". O registro vendeu pouco - cerca de 4.000 unidades - em comparação com as 30.000 unidades vendidas com o "mbaqanga". Keen para suprimir o activismo antiapartheid, o regime proibiu o álbum em 1985. No entanto, ele não foi desencorajado e continuou a realizar shows de reggae ao vivo e escreveu e produziu um segundo álbum, "Think About The Children (1985)". Atingiu disco de platina e estabeleceu-se como um artista popular na África do Sul, além de atrair a atenção fora da sua pátria. Comercial e de críticos de sucesso[editar | editar código-fonte] Dube continuou a introdução bem sucedida comercialmente álbuns. Em 1989 ele ganhou quatro Prêmios OKTV para Prisoner, Captured Live ganhou outra para o ano seguinte e ainda outras duas para a Câmara de exílio no ano seguinte. Seu álbum 1993, as vítimas mais de um milhão de cópias vendidas no mundo todo. Em 1995 ele ganhou um contrato com a Motown gravação mundial. Seu álbum Trindade foi o primeiro lançamento em Tabu Motown Records depois da aquisição do rótulo. Em 1996, ele lançou um álbum compilação, Serious Reggae Business, que levou com ele a ser chamado de "Best Selling Recording Artista Africano" no World Music Awards e do "Artista Internacional do Ano", no Gana Music Awards. Seus próximos três álbuns cada venceu Sul Africano Music Awards. Seu mais recente álbum, Respeito, ganhou uma versão europeia através de um acordo com a Warner Music. Dube turnê internacional, a partilha de fases com artistas como Sinéad O'Connor, Peter Gabriel e Sting. Ele apareceu no 1991 Reggae Sunsplash (exclusivamente nesse ano, foi convidado para voltar ao palco 25 minutos um longo encore) e 2005 o evento Live 8, em Joanesburgo. Além do desempenho música Dube foi outrora um ator, aparecendo nos filmes voz na escuridão, Getting Lucky e Lucky Strikes Back. Morte[editar | editar código-fonte] Em 18 de outubro de 2007, Dube foi assassinado no subúrbio de Joanesburgo, em Rosettenville logo após ter largado dois dos seus sete filhos e seu tio em suas casas. Dube estava dirigindo seu Chrysler 300C, que os assaltantes perseguiram. Os relatórios da polícia sugerem que ele foi morto a tiros pelos carjackers. Cinco homens foram presos com ligação com o assassinato. Três homens foram julgados e considerados culpados, em 31 de março de 2009, dois dos homens tentaram fugir e foram capturados. Os homens foram condenados à prisão perpétua. Ele deixou sua esposa, Zanele, e sete filhos.

While The Village Voice observed, "The spirit of Lucky Dube's music and dance epitomizes the spirit of Black liberation", Niceup Magazine wrote, "(Dube's) lyrics have brought an original voice to reggae by chronicling the political and spiritual struggles of his South African brethren". brethren musical talents were obvious from an early age. By the age of nine, he was conducting his school choir. After singing with school rock & roll bands, he joined his cousin, Richard Siluma's, mbaqanga band, the Love Brothers. Together with the group, he recorded his first single in 1979. Inspired by thcontroversialal lyrics of Peter Tosh, Dube moved to reggae in 1984. His earliest attempts with the newly adopted style were met by strong opposition by the then-all-white South African government, and his first reggae album, Rasta Never Die was banned from radio airplay. Without notifying his record label, Dube re-entered the recording studio and cut a second reggae album, Think About the Children. The album became a major hit and achieved gold record status. Dube's third reggae album, Slave, sold more than five hundred thousand copies.

Daniel Nana Aforo, VoicesofAfrica mobile reporter in Accra, Ghana (23 October 2008) On October, 2007 the world woke up for distasteful news that the South Africa and particularly one of African's reggae icon Luck Philip Dube had been shot by criminals. The incident brought tears and emotional pains to many people of all walks of life including Rastafarians, Christians, Moslems, Hindus, traditionalists, and pagans alike. Today marks one year of his death and at the time that this reporter went through the principals streets of Accra from radio, television stations, restaurants, supermarkets and homes many people were playing some o his tracks as a symbol of remembrance. In an interview with an octogenarian Opanin Akwasi Appiah said the artist was one of he reggae musicians he admired very well and will never forgets about the tragic death especially when he did not felt ill but was shot. "His music was full of emotions, advice and encouraging which urge the peace in South Africa and largely. He did not see himself as only from South Africa but the whole continent, very shameful to the people who committed such crime" said a young teenager. On her part Mrs. Doreen Amofa said much as she is not a reggae lover she remembers that Lucky was one of the musicians whose music touches her positively. "As at now I want to know what the security in South Africa has reached" she asked. Lucky Dube was shot death by car hijackers after dropping his two teenagers off in the Johannesburg suburb. He was reported to have escaped the death but the gun shot wounds affected him severely.

Top Lucky Dube, Remember Me

Daddy, where ever you are remember me
In what ever you do I love you
Daddy, where ever you are remember me
In what ever you do I love you
You left for the city many years ago
Promised to come back and take care of us
Many years have gone by now
Still no sign of you, daddy
Mother died of a heart attack
Many years ago when she heard
That you were married again
Now I'm the only one left in the family
Daddy, where ever you are remember me
In what ever you do I love you
Daddy, where ever you are remember me
In what ever you do I love you
Wandering up and down the streets of Soweto
No place to call my home
I tried to find you many years ago
But the women you're married to was no good at all
Daddy, where ever you are remember me
In what ever you do I love you
Daddy, where ever you are remember me
In what ever you do I love you

You don' t have to come with me
Down this road
'Cause I know my way around here

It may not seem like it
From where you stand
But believe you me, I know what
I' m talking about
Letting it all go
Didn' t matter to me
'Cause I' ve done it all before
But when you left
Part of me left with you
That is why I call you now
On this phone
So please, oh please
Don' t hang up on me
Chorus:
Release me let me go (x 3)
But remember that
Some bridges never burn
You took your way
And I took mine
We were sure our ways
Will never meet again
Everytime I go out
With another man
I find myself calling your name
Now I know that it' s true
What they say
Sometimes love
Never knows when to die
When you went
Part of me went with you
That' s why I called you on the phone

Release me let me go
Remember that
Some bridges never burn
Oh-ho-oh-ho...ho

Top Lucky Dube, Put a Little Love

She stood outside
In the middle of the night
Looking so far away
As far as she could see
Where the sky meets the land
Looking for answers
Her life is falling apart
Her marriage is on the rocks
She thinks about her mother
She thinks about her children
She thinks about the church
And everybody that thought
They had it made in heaven
Suddenly the comfort
In the house don' t mean nothing
All she needs is some loving
In her life
Oh God
Chorus:
Put a little love
In my world
In her mind
The dream is still alive
But if you ask me
I can' t tell you right now
It' s a losing battle
Her mother told her
About this time
The vows she took
Were a mere formality
But in her life
They became a reality
And by the look of things
She' s fighting a losing battle
Joleen is about to take her man
Why do bad things happen
To good people?
She thinks about her mother
She thinks about her children
She thinks about the church
Suddenly the money in the house
Don' t mean nothing
All she needs is love

In the night, I hear you speak
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside my soul
You're holding on and you won't let go
I've tried running, but there's no escape
I can't bend them and I just can't break these
Steel bars wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine
Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'Round my heart they still remain
I'm still running, but there's nowhere to hide
My love for you, has gotten locked up inside these
Steel bars wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine
And with every step I take
Every desperate move I make, it's clear to me
What can all my livin' mean?
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing, I'm still loving you
Steel bars wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me

The bloodhounds are on my tail, Oh God
Just in minutes
They' ll be tearing me apart
If I don' t do now
What I' ve been doing all my life
I' ll be running...all my life
Chorus:
I' m the running man
The fugitive
Seeking political asylum is not easy down here/FONT>
My father had friends in high places
And in low places too
Everytime we asked him to stop running
We would say
"Leave all to me, I' ll make it right"
Today he' s gone, I' m still running
Coyotes and vultures closing in on me
I take it a warning
I' ll be running
I' ll be running
'Cause I can

Top Lucky Dube, Sleeping Dogs

I' m ready to be happy
I' ve been down too long
It' s time to rise above it all
I put a big smile across my face as
I walk down joy street yeah
Follow me if you can
But leave all the burdens behind
Don' t look to the past

Look to the future

I don' t want no bones falling out

Catching up with me
'Cause I' m happy oh......

Let sleeping dogs lie
I see two men in the street
Holding hands and kissing
The other one looks
The other one smiles
When the other one smiles
The other one blushes
I didn' t wanna know
What' s going on
As long as they' re happy
I don' t wanna look up to politicians
They' re gonna feed me
Political bull
And I will have
Political diarrhoea
Don' t look to the past
It' ll make you passteristik

Me just made it up )
Look to the future
It' ll make you futuristik
Hey mister! Hey sir!
Don' t open that cupboard
I don' t want no bones falling out

Top Lucky Dube, Soldier

Stand for the truth you stand alone
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up
Government will cover up
I saw a man sitting in a room holding a gun to his head
He said, "Man oh man what am I gonna do
I can't change the past but I can change the future
If I pull this trigger right now right here everything will be over"
Not a day goes by I don't see them in my dreams
Not a day goes by I don't hear them screaming in my ears
Begging for mercy pleading innocent
Since my heart is made up to be as cold
As the bearing of this gun I hold I'll pull a trigger any day
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up
Government will cover up
Stand for the truth you stand alone
So many medals so many praises
Nothing can take away the guilt that I feel inside of me
Government covered up every crime we committed against humankind
Not a day goes by I don't see them in my dreams
Not a day goes by I don't hear them crying in my ears
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up
Government will cover up
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up
Government will cover up
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Stand for the truth you stand alone

Top Lucky Dube, Sins of the Flesh

I lie awake at night
And I think about it
Where I have been
And who I' ve been with
'Cause all around me
I see them dropping like flies
Everytime they tell us
We say it doesn' t exist
And all we wanna do
Just to have some fun
Reverand Jackson says
The time has come
That the holy book
Has been talking about
The good Rev. also said
Where there' s pleasure
There will always be danger
On his knees I heard him pray so hard
He said God save your children
Chorus:
Save us from the sins of the flesh
Things we have learned
From our good & loving parents
When temptation comes
It all becomes useless
Like an ashtray on a motorbike
Everything you do remember
The body bag hangs
Next to the first aid kit
It' s your life
It' s your world
I' m just passing through
Reverand Jackson said
The time has come
That the holy book
Has been talking about

Top Lucky Dube, Slave

Ministers of religion have visited me many times to talk about it
They say to me, I gotta leave it I gotta leave it
It's a bad habit for a man but when I try to leave it
My friends keep telling me, I'm a fool amongst fools
Now I'm a slave, a slave
I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave
I'm a slave, a slave, slave
I'm a slave, just a liquor slave
I have lost my dignity I had before, trying to please everybody
Some say to me, yo yo, I look better when I'm drunk
Some say, no, no, no, I look bad you know
Sometimes I cry, I cry but my crying never helps me none
'Cos now I am a slave, a slave
I'm a slave, I'm just a liquor slave
I am a slave, a prisoner
I'm a slave, just a liquor slave
Every night when I'm coming back home
My wife gets worried 'cos she knows
She's got double trouble coming home
Sometimes I cry, I cry Lord, I cry
But my crying never helps me
Now I'm a slave, a slave
I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave
I'm a slave, a slave, slave
I'm a slave, just a liquor slave
Now I'm a slave, a slave
I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave
I'm a slave, a slave, slave
I'm a slave, just a liquor slave
Now I'm a slave, a slave
I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave
I'm a slave, a slave, slave
I'm a slave, just a liquor slave

Top Lucky Dube, Victims

Didn't know she was crying
Until now as she turns to look at me
She said, "Boy, o' boy
You bring tears to my eyes"
I said, "What?"
She said, "Boy, o' boy
You bring tears to my eyes"
Bob Marley said
"How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look"
But little did he know that
Eventually the enemy
Will stand aside and look
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already
They are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation
She said all these words and the
Wrinkles on her face became
Perfect trails for the tears and she said
We are the victims every time
We got double trouble every time
We are the victims every time
We got double trouble every time
We are the victims every time
We got double trouble every time
She took me outside to the churchyard
Showed me graves on the ground and she said
There lies a man who fought for equality
There lies a boy who died in his struggle
Can all these heroes die in vain
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already they are the
Victims of the situation
Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation
We are the victims every time
We got double trouble every time
We are the victims every time
We got double trouble every time
We are the victims every time
We got double trouble every time

Top Lucky Dube, You Got No Right

I got lonely sometime you were gone and left
Like you always do
You were never there when I needed some care
You were never there when I needed somebody to talk to
Somebody came and took your place
Oh baby, somebody took my place in your heart I can say
I'm used to it by now
'Cause it happens all the time that is one test I always fail
But one thing my heart can't understand
Who's gonna take the place of this boy in my heart
We used to play together
Do everything together
But now what am I gonna say
You've got no right to call me father
I've got no right to call you son
You got no right to talk to me
I've got no right to talk to you
Even though I try so hard to be strong
But it hurts inside
As I pack my bags to go now baby
I thought I could share this with you
The next time you fall in love treat your woman right
Remember that her place is not only in the kitchen
All she needs is tender loving care
You've got no right to call me father
I've got no right to call you son
You got no right to talk to me
I've got no right to talk to you
Even though I try so hard to be strong
But it hurts inside
You've got no right to call me father
I've got no right to call you son
You got no right to talk to me
I've got no right to talk to you
Even though I try so hard to be strong
But it hurts inside

Are always on the run...Oh God

Even though his times are hard
You can hardly see it on his face
Because of the smile
People coming in from miles away
To hear him sing and see him play

But he can see them dancing
And he can see them crying
It doesn' t bother him at all 'Cause he knows it' s only tears of joy
Chorus:
Let the band play on
There' s a girl sitting by the corner there
And she looks at him with her big brown eyes
He smiles back and carries on playing
It doesn' t bother him at all
Somehow, it gives him some comfort
Police came in halfway through the night
With the good news
Neighbours are complaining
'Cause the music is so low low low low
So turn it up, now
Chorus:
Let the band play on

Ooh, nobody knows.
We are living in this world that's turning around, but we don't know how it happens.
The world is turning around but we don't know how...
Only God knows.

Top Lucky Dube, Life in the Movies

Warning, this is the chief of police speaking
Do not steal police hate competition
Where we gonna run, where we gonna hide?
You've got the right to remain silent
But forever they were brought here to protect us
They were brought here not to hurt
But now they hurt us everyday
You see, police have joined
Forces with criminals
Don't steal, police hate competition
We can't sit down, something must be done
Catching the bad guys in real life
Is not as easy as it is in the movies
We see James Bond
(007)
Eddie Murphy
(Beverly Hills Cop)
Chasing bad guys all the time
But police in real life have joined
Forces with criminals
Don't steal, police hate competition
We can't sit down something must be done
Our life has got to be like
Life in the movies
Where the good guys always
Win in the end
Life in the movies
How can we expect them
To serve and protect the community?
If they themselves are the bad guys
Police have joined forces with criminals
Stand up and fight, no one is safe
Life in the movies
Life in the movies
Life in the movies

Top Lucky Dube, Mirror, Mirror

Billy old Billy, Billy old Billy
Man with the words of wisdom
They found his long black coat
On the banks of the river
'Cause he never came back
In it's pocket they found notes
He'd written some time ago
About his so called friends
It read, love all your friends
But never trust any one of them
Which got me thinking about
My very own friends
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who is the deadliest of them all
I ask you now, tears in my eyes
Billy old Billy, Billy old Billy
Man with the words of wisdom
See them coming
Hear them talk
Never believe a word they say
He told me one day
Even behind the smile
That he wore on his wrinkled face
Everyday, you could see the scars
Of hurt from the past
Which got me thinking of
My very own, so called friend
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the deadliest of them all
I ask you now, tears in my eyes
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the deadliest of them all
I ask you now, tears in my eyes
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the deadliest of them all
I ask you now, tears in my eyes

Top Lucky Dube, Man in the City

Standing alone, in the middle of the city
Man looks around him
He hardly recognises what he sees
Cause he' s a man from the past
Two thousand years ago
This was his home
Rivers used to run here
Birds used to fly around here
But now it is a different jungle
A concrete jungle
Chorus:
He' s a lonely man
In the middle of the city
Missing home so badly
Man' s own creation
Has become his worst enemy
Weaplons of destruction
Have brought about
Human extinction...wo...ho
Two thousand years ago
This was his home
But now it is
A different jungle
A concrete jungle
Chorus:
He' s a lonely man
In the middle of the city
Missing home so badly

Top Lucky Dube, Different Colours People

Breaking those barriers
All over the world
Was not an easy thing
Yesterday your mouth was shut yeah
Couldn' t make a sound eh boy
But it' s such a good feeling today
When I can hear them from
Across the ocean singing this song
That the whole world should be singing
All the time
Chorus: (x3)
We' re...
Different colours / one people
Different colours / one people
Hey you government
Never try to seperate the people
Hey you politician
Never try to seperate the people
They were created in the image of God
And who are you to seperate them
Bible says, he made man in his image
But it didn' t say black or white
Look at me you see BLACK
I look at you I see WHITE
Now is the time to kick that away
And join me in my song
Chorus: (x3)
Hey you politician
Never seperate the people here
Hey you man hey you man
Never try to seperate the people

Top Lucky Dube, Good Girl

When you were a little girl
I had dreams and I had plans for you
As a single father I knew
There was gonna be turbulance
Along the way
I did not know that so soon
I' d have to stand on the side
Watch you go through life
Without my guidance you see
I wanted to be there when you cry
I wanted to be there when you smile
I wanted to be there when you play
I wanted to be there all your life
I would say it' s wrong
She' d say it' s right
Words got spoken since
I live in a glass house
I didn' t want no stones to be thrown
I didn' t want no blows to be thrown
But I would hate to see my...

I wanted to be there when you smile
I wanted to be there when you play
I wanted to be there all your life

Top Lucky Dube, Group Areas Act

If I'm dreaming don't wake me up
If it's a lie don't tell me the truth
'Cause what the truth will do
It's gonna hurt my heart
Being in the darkness for so long now
Mr. President, did I hear you well?
Last night on TV you said
The group areas act is going

Top Lucky Dube, Good Things

There will be a time in your life
When you'll need me the most
But I won't be there
There will be a time in your life
When you won't need me at all
I won't be there
But while I've got the chance
I'm gonna tell you what I know
About this world we're living in
It may seem so beautiful from where you are
It may look so innocent in your eyes
But let me tell you it's not a bed of roses
Good things come to those
Who got out and made them happen
They don't come to those who wait
Good things come to those
Who got out and made them happen
They don't come to those who wait
Good things come to those
Who got out and made them happen
They don't come to those who wait

Every trick in the book
But at the end of the day
It is your life
Good things come to those
Who got out and made them happen
They don't come to those who wait
Good things come to those
Who got out and made them happen
They don't come to those who wait

Top Lucky Dube, Hero

Do you see the smiles on their faces
After you have done what you do best?
Do you see satisfaction on their faces
After you have blessed them with your gift?
You don't think it's much but to them it means the world
They wake up in the morning and wish you were there
Don't have to lie to gain their trust
You have never won a Nobel prize, they've never seen you on the TV
Your little contribution makes their lives a little bit better every day
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
Big it up, big it up for the fireman
Big it up, big it up for the street cleaners
Big it up for the man and the woman
Who take care of abandoned children
Big it up, big it up for the grandmothers
Who are left to take care of the children
Big it up, big it up
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
Hero, hero
You are a hero, you are a hero
You are a hero, you are a hero

Top Lucky Dube, Guns & Roses

I don' t know why
I keep believing
That one day, they' ll bring us together
When they' ve shown
In more ways than one
That all they care about is the dollar
You belong to the one political party
I belong to the one musical party
Our differences are worlds apart
Just like guns and roses
If we don' t take control
Of the situation
We' ll stay forever in this ya commotion
Chorus: (x3)
These guns and the roses
That we' ve got to live with
How can five years of power
Destroy a lifetime of
Togetherness
One time we were judged
By the colour of our skins
Now we are judged
By the colour of our flags
Let us unite
Against being divided
You belong to the one political party
I belong to the one musical party
Let us take control of the situation
Otherwise we' ll be trapped in this

Top Lucky Dube, House of Exile

Freedom fighter standing on a mountain in a foreign country
Trying to send a message to his people back in the ghetto
He had a home one time, love of a girl
But he left that behind
Oh, yes, I can hear him clearly as he whispers in the air
His voice came out loud and clear
All he asked for was a prayer and as he turns to walk away
He said
I'm still here in the house of exile
For the love of the nation
Sun went down on the mountain, birds flew back to their hiding places
Leaving him standing there like a telephone pole
In the still of the night you and I dream
Dreaming of Romeo and Juliet
All he dreams about is the freedom of the nation
When every man will be equal in the eyes of the law
As he closes his eyes for the last time
He said again
I'm still here in the house of exile
For the love of the nation
I'm still here in the house of exile
For the love of the nation
I'm still here in the house of exile
For the love of the nation

Top Lucky Dube, Hold On

I knew exactly
What you were going through
It's just that I didn't have the right
To discuss your problems I saw you struggling
For our education I saw you struggling to get us clothes to wear mama
This man you got married to is dead alive
Over the years I asked myself
Many questions Is he my real dad or
Was I adopted mama I know it's difficult for you mama
But hold on I am a little grown up now
Oh Ho
Chorus:
Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)
You were a laughing stock in the community
The press didn't rest
Makin' news out of you mama
Now is the time to show them that he who laughs last laughs the best, that's the way it is (x2)
Chorus:
Hold on just a little bit longer now
I know it's not easy for you mama but your tears will turn to laughter now that I"m a grown up mama

Top Lucky Dube, I Want To Know What Love Is

I' ve got to take a little time
A little time to think things over
I' d better read between the lines
In case I need it when I' m older
This big mountain I must climb
Ohh feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the crowds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don' t know, if I can face it again
I can' t stop now
I' ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life
Chorus:
I want to know what love is
Reggae can show me
I want to feel what love is
Reggae can show me
I' m going to take a little time
A little time to look around me
I' ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like reggae has finally found me
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don' t know, if I can face it again
Can' t stop now
I' ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life
Chorus:
I want to know what love is
Reggae can show me
I want to feel what love is
Reggae can show me

There's lady that I love so much
She's always on my mind, night and day
But people told me she's in love

Each time when we were together
She use to tell me that I'm the only guy

Top Lucky Dube, Teach the World

It takes a million people
To build up a good reputation
But it takes one stupid fool
To destroy everything they done
The world knows your people as
The most violent in the world
The world knows your nation as
The most oppresive in the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity
yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
Chorus:
Teach the world
Teach them right
It takes a million lives
To get the respect you deserve
When people see your kind
Some of them would run a mile
The world knows your people as
A nation of crooks
Everyone around you should
Always keep their eyes opened
The world knows your nation as
A nation of drug lords
Everyone blames your people
For the destruction of the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity
ho ho ho ho ho ho

Top Lucky Dube, The Other Side

His name is Jackson, he lives in Jamaica
Every mornin' he comes down to the docks
To watch the ships come and go
He's been here too long
Mental slavery, has not touched him one bit
He still know his history, he knows where he come from
That is why he believes the ocean
Can give him some answers
About the very very far home
That he's never been to all his life
He says, "I wish I was home, I wish I was in Africa"
Hey, I wish I was home, I wish I was in Africa
I have seen his world, I've seen the other world
I have nothing to say
I put my coat on my shoulders
As I walk away, I heard myself sing
The grass is greener on the other side
Till you get there and see it for yourself
The grass is greener on the other side
Till you get there and see it for yourself
The grass is greener on the other side
Till you get there and see it for yourself
His name is Themba, he lives in Soweto
Every mornin' he goes to the airport
To watch the planes come and go
He has changed his African name to a western one
'Cause he doesn't know how it hurts
To have a name you can't be proud of
He hopes that one day
One of these birds of the sky
Can take him away to a very very far land
Running away from the very roots
That so many black people in the world
Are wanting to come back to a place they call home
They wish they were home, they wish they were in Africa
They wish they were home, they wish they were in Africa
I live in his world, I've seen the other world
I got nothing to say I put my coat on my shoulders
As I walked away I heard myself sing
The grass is greener on the other side
Till you get there and see it for yourself
The grass is greener on the other side
Till you get there and see it for yourself
The grass is greener on the other side
Till you get there and see it for yourself

Don' t have no politics
They don' t care about
Being rich
They don' t care about
Being poor
All they care about is

Top Lucky Dube, Number in the Book

No glove, no love
You've been hearing this so many times
Don't you think it's time
To be a little more responsible?
Too many people die these days
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are there
But every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land
You don't make the commitment but your body does
Even if you're dead silent
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
In the shadows of the night
A lady from the street corner talks to a customer
Money exchanges hands
That's the formality and she says
?No glove, no love?
You can pay me well, but it ain't worth my life
Too many people die these days
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are there
Every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land
It ain't worth my life, she said
?You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
I don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone

Top Lucky Dube, I've Got You Babe

Top Lucky Dube, Is This Freedom

She got outside one morning
To see what' s going on
'Cause she heard all the noises
In the night, It' s a celebration
Even though she was old and grey
It didn' t mean she was deaf and dumb
She looks one look at the man
Throws her hands in the air
And said God help us all
Too much power in one mans hands
Is dangerous
She has never tasted freedom
And all the things
We take for granted
Then she looked at me and said
Son, Is this the end of our suffering?
Chorus:
Is this freedom?
Is this freedom?
We have just witnessed the
Change of power from one fool
And liar to another
Our lives on the line again
She had lived through the wars
She didn' t wanna go through it all again
She has seen injustice
She has seen corruption
She has seen racism
And any other kind of suffering
You can think about
Then she said to me
Son, Is this the end of suffering?
Chorus till fade

Top Lucky Dube, Jah Live

Jah live Jah children
Let Rastas never die

But when the tables turn upside down
They know that you' re there
To my mom who taught me

I wrote this little
Song of praise
Now I' m gonna sing
Chorus:
Jah live Jah children
Let Rastas never die

Oh my God, oh my God

Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime
Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime
One of them swallowed his pride
His broken pride and came to me he said

What are the rules?

Begging for a dollar everyday
Begging for a dime everyday
Trying to make a living out there

Top Lucky Dube, It's not easy

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her mama I'm getting married, I could hear her voice
On the other side of the telephone, she was smiling
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
She said, ?Son did you take time to know her??
I said mama she's the best but today it hurts me so
To go back to mama and say mama I'm getting divorced
Oh I'm getting divorced
This choice I made didn't work out
The way I thought it would
This choice I made didn't work out
The way I thought it would
It hurts me so mama, mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
I remember in church, when the preacher read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful and innocent
I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
This choice I made didn't work out
The way I thought it would be
This choice I made didn't work out
The way I thought it would be
Now I'm hurting, I remember when I held you
By the hand preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was with you
Now I know what they mean when they say
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
Oh Lord I'm hurting now
This choice I made didn't work out
The way I thought it would
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again

Top Lucky Dube, Keep on Knocking

She wrote me a letter
In the early days of December
Saying she wasn' t happy
Where she was
Oh that' s the bad news yeah
That is why today I' m here
To take her away from you
Everytime you treat her badly
It brings back memories and
We don' t want
To see her go through
Hurt again so!!!
Chorus:
Keep on knocking but you
Can' t come in now
She' s my mother you know
If she was a bad mother
She would have thrown us away
Long time ago
Even when things got bad
She still held onto us all the way
When she cries we cry too
When she smiles we smile too
We were happy all this time
Until you came along
Everytime you treat her badly
It brings back memories and
We don' t want to see her
Go through hurt again
Chorus till fade

Top Lucky Dube, Kiss No Frog

She wanted to be like her mother in many ways
The way she walks, the way she smiles
Over and above all the way she brushes her hair back
She heard it all being said to her
Saw it all happening in her life like every woman
She' s been trapped in this fairy tale
Find a frog, kiss it and hope it would turn
Into a handsome prince
How many frogs has she kissed in her life?
None of them turned into a handsome prince
The little girl made a decision in her life, oh
And she promised to keep it
I'm gonna kiss no frog
Everything went the way she wanted
Every dream was what she wanted
But when it came to finding someone
To spend her life with same old story
Find a frog, kiss it and hope it'll turn into a prince, oh
Better to be alone and happy
Than being with someone and be unhappy all your life
I'm gonna kiss no frog
I'm gonna kiss no frog
I'm gonna kiss no frog

Top Lucky Dube, Johnny

Johnny was a good boy
According to his mother
But when she wasn' t looking yeah
Johnny became a bad boy

Oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny
How can you do something
Like this to me

To the best schools
In the country boy
Spent my last dime on you

My shoulder
To cry on Johnny
Her only boy her only son
Lying on the ground
In a pool of blood
She couldn' t hold back
Her tears

Top Lucky Dube, Changing World

Old man sitting by the side of the road
He's not watching the birds today
He's not watching the sunset like he always does
He's looking at the future
He has seen the past
School boy passes by interrupts his thoughts
He said sir, can you spare me a dollar
I got to make in time for my grade 8 class
I am fresh out of cigarettes
And I can't be late
The old man said
Chorus
The world is changing
Take your time, look around
Make the right decision
He has no crystal ball
But he sees the future
Doesn't like what he sees, but what can he do
Little girl passes by with a baby in her arms
He thinks it's her mother's
But no, it is her own
She's only twelve years old for crying out loud
With his trembling finger
He wipes away the tears
If this is the future, he doesn't wanna be part of it
Chorus
The world is changing
Take a time, look around
Make the right decision
Old man sitting by the side of his bed.
When he goes to sleep tonight
He won't have no sweet dreams
He'll be haunted by ghosts from the future

Top Lucky Dube, Lucky Dube

How long shall you carry that burden on your shoulders?
How long shall those tears keep running down
Your beautiful face? We all have troubles
Now and again, know what I'm saying?
No matter how hard we try
Trouble will find us
One way or another people had troubles
Since the Pope was an altar boy
People had worries from
When the Dead Sea was only wrinkled
Hear those drums running
And listen to those guitars skanking
Yeah, put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down
Shoop shoop doo doo
Put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down
Let me tell you how we feel

No man can hide from his fears
Since they are part of him
They always know where to find him
Come on walk tall and, keep your head high
I tell you again and again
Put a smile on your face
Don't let the troubles get you down
Shoop shoop doo doo

Top Lucky Dube, Guns And Roses

GUNS & ROSES
Lucky Dube
I don' t know why
I keep believing
That one day, they' ll bring us together
When they' ve shown
In more ways than one
That all they care about is the dollar
You belong to the one political party
I belong to the one musical party
Our differences are worlds apart
Just like guns and roses
If we don' t take control
Of the situation
We' ll stay forever in this ya commotion
Chorus: (x3)
These guns and the roses
That we' ve got to live with
How can five years of power
Destroy a lifetime of
Togetherness
One time we were judged
By the colour of our skins
Now we are judged
By the colour of our flags
Let us unite
Against being divided
You belong to the one political party
I belong to the one musical party
Let us take control of the situation
Otherwise we' ll be trapped in this

Top Lucky Dube, Love Me

Who' s child am I gonna be tonight?
Who' s bed am I gonna sleep in tonight?
You told the other ones
I was your brother's child
You told the ones
I was your sister's child
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my name
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my identity
Whose child am I gonna be tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?...
Chorus:
I wish you could love me the way I am
Whose dogs are gonna be my friends tonight?
Whose bin am I gonna eat out of tonight?
The welfare people when they come
To the house you told me to say nothing
Every time they wanna take me away
You say everything is alright
Whos bins am I gonna eat out of tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?...
Chorus:

Top Lucky Dube, Affirmative Action

From where I stand
I can see the world
Getting smaller and smaller
And there'll be no place
For people like you, Georgie
Who still live in the past
When you couldn't do things for yourself
You blamed it on apartheid
You blamed it on the government and everybody
Now is the time to prove yourself
If you think affirmative action
Is the way out, no way, no way
Constitution can be changed
From time to time,
But that does not mean that
You don't need no education
We are tired of people who
Think that affirmative action is the way out
And, is another way of putting puppets
Where they don't belong
I'm so sorry, Georgie
But the only way to get our economy strong
Is to have an educated nation
And if you think affirmative action
Is the way out, no way, no way
Education is still the key
Even though we have affirmative action
Education is still the key
Even though we have affirmative action
Education is still the key
Even though we have affirmative action

Top Lucky Dube, Crying Games

Show me yours
I' ll show you mine
Maybe mine is bigger than yours
Maybe mine goes deeper than yours
That is why I cry the most
I played your game
But I didn' t know the rules
Everytime we' ve played
You' d come out a winner
Now I' ve learned to play the game
And I will never cry again
Chorus:
These crying games, we play
It' s your turn to cry
They say the winner takes it all
But in my case, the winner didn' t
Take the pain
In my case the winner didn' t
Take the hurt
That is why I cry the most
I played your game
But I didn' t know the rules
Everytime we' ve played
You' d come out a winner
Now I' ve learned to play the game
And I will never lose again
Chorus:
These crying games, we play
It' s your turn to cry

Top Lucky Dube, Crime and Corruption

Got out really early from the factory, driving like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was acting so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Man, the drunks were verbal in the takeaway
Beating up the Chinese at the counter
I put a few inside me at the end of the day
I took out my revenge on the revolution counter
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand, new car
In walks Bud, with his exploding nose
He'd been giving it maximum today
He shouted, how the devil you in trouble, I suppose
But all you ever do is run away
Turned up the motor into hyper-drive
I wasn't gonna take any of that
Don't get bright ideas about a suicide
'Cause all I ever hear is zoom, wam, bam past me
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand, new car
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand, new car
Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression
I dry up my drink and people running for the door
God, I make some kind of impression
'Cause when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel
I'm only half the man I should be
But metal hitting metal, isn't all I feel
And everything is good as it possibly could be
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand, new car
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand, new car
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage

Top Lucky Dube, CRAZY WORLD

So far so good we still living today
But we don't know what tomorrow brings
In this crazy world people dying like flies every day
You read about it in the news but you don't believe it
You'll only know about it
When the man in the long black coat
Knocks on your door
'Cause you're his next victim
As you are living in this
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Leaders starting wars every time
They want some for their rights
Some for fun and their own glory
Letting people die for the wrong that they do
Oh it's painful come on now little boy
Say your prayers before you sleep
Little boy went down on his knees
And he said
"Oh Lord, now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take"
'Cause he's living in this crazy world
Oh Lord
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world
Living in, living in this crazy world

Top Lucky Dube, Cool Down

They've been married for seventeen years
But you can see she don't trust him at all
And you can see she don't believe he's not cheating
You can't blame a poor girl
He's been a busy man all his life, just like the rest of us
Then one day she caught him with another girl, he said, "It was his mother"
She caught with another one, he said, "It was his sister"
He's in deep water again, I don't know what he gonna say today
But I won't be surprise if he gets out of this one like the other ones
'Cause I know he's the Houdini of cheaters, hear him now when he says
Cool down baby, everything is under control
It doesn't matter where I get my appetite
I will always eat at home
Cool down baby, everything is under control
It doesn't matter where I get my appetite
I will always eat at home, oh, oh, yeah, baby
They've been married for seventeen years
But you can see he don't trust her at all
And you can see he don't believe she's not cheating
You can't blame a poor man
She's been a busy girl all her life just like the rest of us
One day he caught her with another man, she said, "It was her father"
He caught her with another one, she said, "It was her brother"
I believe that it is true birds of a feather fly together
She has learned from master wasn't surprised at all
When I heard her say, hey
Cool down baby, everything is under control
It doesn't matter where I get my appetite
I will always eat at home
Cool down baby, everything is under control
It doesn't matter where I get my appetite
I will always eat at home

Top Lucky Dube, Can't Blame You

Trying so hard not to cry
Since they say man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears keep running from my eyes
I remember the day I came to the city.
My children were crying
My wife was crying
She's gonna lose me
To the girls in the city
To make her feel alright I
said it's impossible
But I was wrong
Chorus:
Can't blame you when you're going
This is something you've got to do
You've got to go ho ho.
You've been keeping me here all these years as your private lover
Letters came from home
But I never answered
'Till today when I got this letter
From my little daughter saying
"Missing you daddy."
It's time to go.
Chorus:
Can't blame you (as above)
See me now, see me no more
I heard that whistle blow
I knew it's time to go
Sitting here in this train
Going so fast past the trees
I'm thinking of words to apologize
'Cause sorry ain't enough
Chorus:
Can't blame you (till fade)

Top Lucky Dube, Big Boys Don't Cry

If we both believe in Reincarnation,
Maybe we will have a
Chance in the next life.
You felt something for me
And I was so deeply in love with you.
But we both said nothing
Till we ran out of time
Sometimes I cry,
I said I cry
And it's not because of the pain I feel inside
And it's not because of the hurt I feel inside
But I cry,
I said I cry
Sometimes I cry
And I remember the days
When love was so far away from me,
The only time I knew about love was
When mommy and daddy told me they loved me,
And I Didn't know that today it would be
Me having got to say I love you
But I remember that
Chorus
Big boys don't cry
And sometimes
I cry
I said I cry.
And it's not because of the pain I feel inside
And it's not because of the hurt I feel inside
But I cry
I see your beautiful face
Everytime I close my eyes,
You reach out for me I reach out for you
But in real life we cannot meet Oh!!!!!
That is why I cry,
I said I cry
And it's not because of the pain I feel inside
And it's not because of the hurt I feel inside
But I cry
And I remember the days
When love was so far away from me,
The only time I heard about love was
When mommy and daddy told me they loved me,
And I didn't know that today it would be
Me having got to say I love you,
But I remember that

if they grow up without their parent
whose gonna tell them this is wrong
without the mother

children suffering
without the parent help
BORN TO SUFFER(x5)

Top Lucky Dube, The Master

He puts on a brave face every morning and every night
He goes on stage, with a big smile on his face
You split your sides with laughter
You are sitting at the edge of your seat
Cause you want some more
Show is over, he goes home, he takes off his mask
Tears running down his face, it's unbelievable
We all have our masks on, the world is a stage
Go on tell me what is your story
Go on don't be shy, what is your story
Chorus
Behind the Mask of a clown lies a trail of tears
Celebrities among us, all the time
Big smiles for the cameras around
They have lives that we only dream of.
But on the inside they hurt just like us,
They have things, we only see in the movies
The tears we cry, on the outside
They cry, on the inside
Just like the clown, they go home
Take off the mask
The world is the stage, go on what is your story.
Chorus
Behind the mask of a clown lies a trial of tears

Top Lucky Dube, Think About the Children - EP

Top Lucky Dube, Choose Your Friend

Danny got of yellow school bus
Looking so sad today, you see it on his face
Mommy and Daddy have been fighting again
Every time they fight, he's caught in the middle of it all
He has dreams, like every little boy in the world.
But right now his main dream,
Is to get out of here.
Is to see Mommy and Daddy disappear forever.
He doesn't wanna hear those angry voices anymore
Danny, be careful what you wish for
You might just get it.
Be careful O!! Oh!! Oh!!
Chorus
You can choose your friend, but you cannot
Choose, who you related to.
He goes up to his room, he's not feeling good today
But it's no use, telling, nobody listens here
No use complaining, nobody cares around here
Little boys go to sleep and pray
For toys and candy, he prays for one thing
God I need a miracle down here
Will you make, Mommy and Daddy?
Disappear forever
Danny, be careful what you wish for
You might just, get it.
Be careful Oh!! Oh!! Oh!!
Chorus
You can choose your friend, but you cannot
Choose, who you related to.

Top Lucky Dube, Touch Your Dream

Have you ever seen a dream walking?
Have you ever heard a dream talking?
You are the master of your dreams
If you pull the right strings
It could be talking to you
If you pull the right strings
It could be walking to you.
You are the one to make it happen
You're the only one that knows what is
You are holding the key to your dreams
Don't hestitate grab the chance
Before it's too late.
Chorus
Reach out and touch your dreams.
Don't let them tell you it is impossible
That is what they told all heroes before
In a hero's mind the word does not exist
When you're 80 years old
Thinking about your past
Regretting every minute of your life
That you've lost
You will wonder where the time went
If you do the right thing
It could be talking to you
Don't hesitate, grab the chance
Before it's too late.
Chorus
Reach out and touch your drea.

Top Lucky Dube, Peace, Perfect Peace

We cry for peace, perfect peace
Lord, we cry for love in this neighborhood
I tell you no water can put out this fire
Only the Lord can save us
We cry for peace in south Africa
Let me tell you we cry for peace in south Africa
We cry for peace, perfect peace
Lord, we cry for love in this neighborhood
Let me tell you no water can put out this fire
Only the Lord can save us
We cry for peace in south Africa

Top Lucky Dube, Ultimate Lucky

Top Lucky Dube, Respect

It started like a joke
I never thought it would come to this
Today I'm walking in the bushes, like a criminal
Today I'm walking so slow, like a predator
Just to get a glimpse of you
As you play in the play ground.
Your mother spoke to the lawyers
Told them I was not good around you
The lawyers spoke to the judges
Told the I was not good around you
The judges gave your mother a letter
That is keeping me away from you
Don't worry, you are never far from me
Inside my heart, I keep a little box
It is the box of memories I created about you
Chorus
You are the one, you are the one.
Whenever I miss you bad,
I walk around the park
Looking at little boys and girls
They remind me of you
There's a lot of stories I'd like to share with you
There's a lot of games, I'd like to play with you
Tears come down my face
When I think about what happened
The lawyer spoke to the judges
Told them I was not good around you
The judges gave your mother a letter,
That is keeping me away from you.
Don't worry, you are never far from me.
Inside my heart I keep a little box,
It is a box of memories I created about you.
Chorus
YOU ARE THE ONE, YOU ARE THE ONE.
Till fade.

Top Lucky Dube, Lucky Dube Live In Uganda

Who' s child am I gonna be tonight?
Who' s bed am I gonna sleep in tonight?
You told the other ones
I was your brother's child
You told the ones
I was your sister's child
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my name
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my identity
Whose child am I gonna be tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?...
Chorus:
I wish you could love me the way I am
Whose dogs are gonna be my friends tonight?
Whose bin am I gonna eat out of tonight?
The welfare people when they come
To the house you told me to say nothing
Every time they wanna take me away
You say everything is alright
Whos bins am I gonna eat out of tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?...
Chorus:
I wish you could love me the way I am

Top Lucky Dube, Think About The Children

The parents are the people we're depending on
For the growth of the children
If they treat them right
We gonna have a brighter future
If they treat them wrong
We gonna have brats in the world
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong
You've got to fast your while
Just think about the children
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right
Without the mother, children are suffering
Without the father, children are suffering
Without the parents, children are suffering
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
You've got to watch out my son
If your mother doesn't care for you
You've got to watch out my girl
If your mother doesn't care for you
Question yako is there
It's gonna take care
They need parental care
They need spiritual care
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong
They need parental care
They need spiritual care
If they grow up without parental care
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong
Without the mother, children are suffering
Without the father, children are suffering
Without the parents, children are suffering
The parents are the people we're depending on
For the growth of the children
If they treat them right
We gonna have a brighter future
If they treat them wrong
We gonna have brats in the world
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer

Top Lucky Dube, Different Colours - One People

Breaking those barriers
All over the world
Was not an easy thing
Yesterday your mouth was shut yeah
Couldn't make a sound eh boy
But it's such a good feeling today
When I can hear them from
Across the ocean singing this song
That the whole world should be singing
All the time
[Chorus: x3]
We're...
Different colours {one people}
Different colours {one people}
Hey you government
Never try to seperate the people
Hey you politician
Never try to seperate the people
They were created in the image of God
And who are you to seperate them
Bible says, he made man in his image
But it didn't say black or white
Look at me you see BLACK
I look at you I see WHITE
Now is the time to kick that away
And join me in my song
[Chorus: x3]
Hey you politician
Never seperate the people here
Hey you man hey you man
Never try to seperate the people
Some were from America
We were from South Africa
Some were from Japan
We were from China
Some were from Australia
We were from the U.K.
Some were from Zimbabwe
We were from Ghana
Some were from Jamaica
We were from Russia
Some were from Aha-ha-ha
We were from Uhu-hu-hu

Top Lucky Dube, Family Ties

[Foreign Content]
Ever since they were born
She was worried about their friends
Even when they turned twenty five
She was worried about the company they'd keep
One day it was three in the morning
The door bell rang, she got up in a sweat
Blue lights flashing everywhere
The boys in blue standing at the door
The look on their faces scared her enough
Before they told her what she was always afraid of
Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
[Foreign Content]
Ever since she was brought to this home
She's been cursing every woman with a child
She says they brought to this world the curse
That have stained the good name of mankind
One day it was three in the morning
The guard came running to tell us she's gone
Blue lights flashing everywhere, all over again
The boys in blue, looking for her
The look on their faces scared us enough
When they told us to strengthen our family ties
Do you know where your mother is tonight?
Do you know where your father is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
[Foreign Content]
Do you know where your son is tonight?

It seems like it only happened yesterday
Now that I think about it
Tears cannot bring you joy
But joy can bring you tears
Even though I cry today
I will not hide it
It is for a different reason
That is why I'll shout it out
For the world to hear
I say, "Hello, hello happiness
Oh Jah, thank you
For another day"
I say
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
I say
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Another tear drop falls
But I don't care
I took a wrong turn in life before
But I've paid my dues
Objects in the rear view mirror
They appear closer than they are
If you don't talk the talk
Don't walk the walk
If you won't please, don't tease
Another lesson learned
I'm gonna shout it out again
"Hello, hello happiness
Oh God, thank you
For another chance"
There is no future in the past
So shout it out
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
