Robert Gabriel Mugabe (Shona pronunciation: [muɡaɓe],[needs tone]English: /muːˈɡɑːbiː/ moo-GAH-bee; born 21 February 1924) is the President of Zimbabwe. As one of the leaders of the liberation movement against white-minority rule, he was elected into power in 1980. He served as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987, and as the first executive head of state since 1987.
Mugabe rose to prominence in the 1960s as the Secretary General of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) during the conflict against the white-minority rule government of Ian Smith. Mugabe was a political prisoner in Rhodesia for more than 10 years between 1964 and 1974. Upon release with Edgar Tekere, Mugabe left Rhodesia in 1975 to re-join the Zimbabwe Liberation Struggle (Rhodesian Bush War) from bases in Mozambique.
At the end of the war in 1979, Mugabe emerged as a hero in the minds of many Africans. He won the general elections of 1980, the second in which the majority of black Africans participated in large numbers (though the electoral system in Rhodesia had allowed black participation based on qualified franchise). Mugabe then became the first Prime Minister after calling for reconciliation between formerly warring parties, including white Rhodesians and rival political groups.

Da da day da da day da cry fi di youths
When i was a youth growing up in England we had more unity by far, Black youths from different areas coulda hang around and a spar, Yes we might have some differences but it never really came to war , We knew who and we knew what we were fighting for
Cant overstand dis ya postcode war Can’t get mi head around di postcode war
We did our share of fighting but we fight against di system We fight against injustices and we fight against racism We fighting for our freedom and we knew dat we would win Nowadays dis youth he thinks his enemy looks like him, thinks his enemies identical to him
When i say identical I don’t just mean skin tone alone Same clothes same car same type a girl same gold same mobile phone, If you do not look like him then he might leave you alone If you look like him den you can come into his zone, even though you are from the same town cha
Cant overstand dis ya postcode war Can’t get mi head around di postcode war
The youth dem nowadays have been brainwashed to hate dem selves, Programmed to think that life is just material and wealth, Think they’re in control but are being controlled by someone else, Programmed to only care about themselves, desensitised the feelings that are felt
Instead of things getting better it seems like things are getting worse The youths are getting younger who are afflicted by this curse Me seh, too much little innocent youth dem just a end up being carried inna hearse The youth dem they should not be passing first, seems to me like things gone in reverse
Cant overstand dis ya postcode war Can’t get mi head around di postcode war
i say love to every youth inna every area, Me nuh care if your living in a mansion or if your living in a housing scheme No areas not inferior nor superior, when i say dat I’m talking about thehuman Not the buildings nor the landscapes nor machines. Well i gotta be optimistic so i do hope and i pray, These words can be of assistance to the youths dem of today, If they only knew how great they are they’d go a different way , Unite and stop the fighting’s what i say, no matter where you come from its ok
Cant overstand dis ya postcode war Can’t get mi head around di postcode war

Well it seems like the only millennium bug was influenza Computer virus, computer rash Was it one big con was it an economical money making program, maybe But one thing this millennium has opened peoples eyes It's a warning, imagine
Good gosh what's gonna happen when the computers really crash And you can't get no food, and all of the banks won't give you no cash Me say sooner or later, you're gonna have to get in touch with your creator I'm not a computor hater, but I can see it all going right back to nature
It was the 31st of December 11:59 In the year they call 1999 Everybody starting the countdown Waiting for the year 2000 fi come While they were partying having a wild time The millennium bug was at the back of their mind Nothing really happened this time But take it as a warning take it as a sign
We're losing the human touch Depending on computers much too much (2x)
Even though no planes, never dropped out of the skies And there was no interruption in electric supplies This bug should make you realize How much the computer is running our lives
Good gosh what's gonna happen when the computers really crash And you can't get no food, and all of the banks won't give you no cash Me say sooner or later, you're gonna have to get in touch with your creator I'm not a computor hater, but I can see it going back to old pen and paper
I know computers help a lot inna technology And have made a lot of progress scientifically But there's one thing I know and I'm sure you'll agree They shouldn't control the community Control your gas, control your water, your electricity Control your food, control your job, control your money Any little thing go wrong could cause a catasrophe Could even cause World War III
Good gosh what's gonna happen when the computers really crash And you can't get no food, and all of the banks won't give you no cash Me say sooner or later, you're gonna have to get in touch with your creator I'm not a computor hater, but I can see it all going right back to nature, pen and paper
Now we're going down the computer road What happen' when the internet overload Computer age it is climbing While the natural resources of the earth are declining Are we concentrating on the right thing Without nature these computers will not be working More computers more unemployment We're losing touch with the environment
We're losing the human touch Depending on computers much too much (2x)
Hold on a bit I'm not a hypocrite I know they use computers nowadays to make a lot of music But it's not in control this is how we use it We use it like a metronome with a human twist With some human chords with some human licks With some human voices and some human lyrics Put it pon master tape to sound sweet and criss Then give it to the Mad Professor for a human mix
Good gosh what's gonna happen when the computers really crash And you can't get no food, and all of the banks won't give you no cash Me say sooner or later, you're gonna have to get in touch with your creator I'm not a computor hater, but I can see it all going forward to nature
Well wouldn't it be nice to live a natural simple kind of life Surrounded by natural beauty! Well Macka B and Nolan Irie, we're gonna take you on a little journey Follow me!
Just close your eyes, relax and feel how the sun is shining Feel the breeze blowing through the trees Anywhere you wanna be, free your mind you will find You're heading for the sunshine,(feel the heat) straight for the sunshine
I said we're going on a 4 minute vacation We're gonna leave all the bills and pollution Time for some meditation Cause right now we're going to go across the ocean
Forget your troubles for a bit because we're going on a trip You don't need a passport or ticket It's not a plane it's not a ship you've got to just imagine it Forget your problems a minute You're getting warmer Can you feel the heat, can you taste that banana? Can you see yourself growing your food like a farmer? Can you see the sun glistening inna the water? That's just the starter
You can see the beauty oh so pictures All you got to do is put it to the test Yes I'm sure you'll find you've no regrets On your face put a smile, you're heading for the sunshine Straight for the sunshine
2 minutes left for this ya! 4 minute vacation We're gonna leave all the bills and pollution Time for some meditation Cause right now we're going to go across the ocean
Come and take me by my hand and I will take you to the land We'll go walking and talking in the sand We'll pick the fruit off the trees, feel the breeze and swim the seas Mmm, very nice indeed On your marks get ready are you ready to come Because we're going to a place inna the boiling sun Where the earth and the moon and the stars are one Me say don't bring no money cause you don't need none Me bawl no need to worry bout no cash, electric bill neither the gas No worry bout the income tax Take all those troubles from your mind you've got to leave them all behind Right now a sunshine time
Just close your eyes, relax and feel how the sun is shining Feel the breeze blowing through the trees (imagination) Any place you wanna be, free your mind you could find You're heading for the sunshine,(tropical) straight for the sunshine (atol) You're heading for the sunshine,(vital) straight for the sunshine
I said we're going on a 4 minute vacation We're gonna leave all the bills and pollution Time for some meditation Cause right now we're going to go across the ocean
Some people nah go like weh me say, but me a go say it anyway Me a go talk about slavery and the effects of it today Some people just don't want to know, about 400 years ago But the thing about slavery it's affecting people now
I tell you no lie when I see a film about slavery water comes to my eye You want to know why, because it was me I'm the same black man hanging in that tree You see, they couldn't control my soul so they had to control my body Mysteriously I and I has returned as the big Rastaman Macka B, see
What about all the lifes that were lost, what about the black holocaust What about African slavery and what it's done to you and me What about all the blood that was shed what about the innocent dead What about when the ship overload and they throw them overboard
Oh I can see the effects of slavery still inna the community No identity suffering from amnesia, a case of lost memory Black man and woman can't you see your history never start on the plantation Original man, man of creation, father of all nation Just stay strong let go the brainwashed mentality don't gwan like a Babylonian The road is long you gonna meet a lot of obstacles don't bow to the temptation Run Satan tell the boy fi go weh you no inna nutten wid him plan Hold up your hand to the almighty one, you are part of a great nation, man
What about all the mothers that cried, what about all the children that died What about all the suicide, and the pain we feel inside What about all the shackles and chains what about the messing up of the brains Don't know from where you came, you don't even know your name
Aided and abetted by some unscrupulous Africans 100 million is the estimation that died on the crossing or the plantation With no compensation Holocaust is a word that they use for what the Nazis did to the Jews Compensation was never refused Their own land they even got to choose So what's wrong with us was the Black holocaust not so serious (4x)
Some people nah go like weh me say, but me a go say it anyway Me a go talk about slavery and the effects of it today Some people just don't want to know, about 400 years ago But the thing about slavery it's affecting people now
Christmas has been cancelled it's been postponed No longer celebrated inna we home. Pagan things we try to leave them alone Incorporated into Christianity by Rome We're using our brain we're breaking the chain We're not playing the Christmas game what a shame (2x)
All the drunkenness and the overeating. Is it the birth of Christ they're celebrating? Mostly non Christians are partaking Fi some it's just an excuse fi money making They say peace and goodwill to all men So how come they're putting up the prices then? Targeting the parents through the children Well them nah ketch I and I again no way me friend
Christmas has been cancelled it's been postponed No longer celebrated inna we home. Pagan things we try to leave them alone Incorporated into Christianity by Rome We're using our brain we're breaking the chain We're not playing the Christmas game what a shame (2x)
A long time the 25th of December has been a special date in the pagans calendar Long, long before the birth of Christ It was a day for partying and celebrating and to rejoice From Nimrod to Saturn to Mithra These Gods were always honoured on that day in December Worshipping of sun Gods and idol Why you think Christmas is never mentioned in the Bible
Christmas has been cancelled it's been postponed No longer celebrated inna we home. Pagan things we try to leave them alone Incorporated into Christianity by Rome We're using our brain we're breaking the chain We're not playing the Christmas game what a shame (2x)
You see the tree and the ivy and the mistletoe All of these were pagan things a long time ago People have them in their house and they don't know what they mean They just come see them so they just join in Santa Claus what a fraud never once come a me yard A me parents have to work, work so hard Christmas put people under pressures Don't you see that Santa and Satan have got the same letters

I don’t intend to let it break me
And I don’t plan to start a fight
But this pain is here to save me
From the skeletons you hide
You were standing in the rain
Still won’t wash it all away
Your heart won’t lay you around
This is the truth, you don’t have to lie to me
When you look in the mirror, the one you’re facing
Reminds you of those things you promised
This is the truth, you don’t have to hide from me
The shadows and the dark will shut you up and drag you down to hell
Then love will tell, love will tell
Even when you’re right here with me
Feels like you’re so far away
I guess all others just … indeed
Because you gave your half away
You feel yourself starting to drown
And no one else can hear the sound
Your heart won’t let you off that easily
This is the truth, you don’t have to lie to me
When you look in the mirror, the one you’re facing
Reminds you of those things you promised
This is the truth, you don’t have to hide from me
The shadows and the dark will shut you up and drag you down to hell
Then love will tell, love will tell
Looking over your shoulder yeah
Every step gets colder
You’re stuck in the maze, to take your round and round and round
This is the truth, you don’t have to lie to me
When you look in the mirror, the one you’re facing
Reminds you of those things you promised
This is the truth, you don’t have to hide from me
The shadows and the dark will shut you up and drag you down to hell

they just mad I got that swag and their game is lagging
I mean they lacking what I call desire
they know I'm burning up man they know I'm on fire
And people wonder why I live this way
I aint living for tomorrow I'm just living for today
what can I say and make em understand
I swear I got a vision and I swear I got a plan
(Verse 2)
well its a struggle everyday
cuz the world is a maze
I'm just trying to find my place all you haters hate away
what you know about contracts many different contacts
sacrifice all of that but I'll never fall back
And why's it feel like every body's trying hold me down
I keep my real friends close to me now
they show me how to persevere anything
I dont really care anymore God let it rain
and if them people wanna leave then let em leave
I don't need em in my life I'll be alright please believe

matterafact imma tell you what the deal is
what you know about birds of a feather

Lyrics:
Hook:
Until my bank account ain’t got stacks
Until the people on my block ain’t got my back
Until I fade away
You can Hate away
Until I fail and fall off the map
Until the whole world ain’t listen’n to my tracks
Until I fade away
You can hate away
Verse One:
Now let me tell you about this life of mine
its been a long time coming got alot on my mind
yea i stay on the grind sun up to sun down
ain't anotha mothafucka that can touch my sound
you feel my pain every time that beat drop
not to mention feel that tention when i make the bass knock
strictly business instrumentals man i make that shit rock
Yea..... and i never plan to stop
hip hop daddies coming home.. Mr. entertainer you can find me in the zone
better yet the studio that would be my home
spreading love to the world now from here to hong kong"
(Refrain)
Verse Two
you can go and hate away I'm balling till i fade away
I'm always making music and that love you'll never take away
i thank my mom and dad for the way they raised me
haters will never take me my skill is to amazing
but still i amaze thee my vision's getting hazy
there's phonies all around dear lord can you save me
take me to another world where cant nobody touch me
take me to another world where everybody loves me
they call me Mike Bo brighter than a light show
i want respect till i get it I'm gonna fight for
I'm gonna die for what i know is right
and the feeling that I'm feeling man is simply outta sight
(Refrain)
Verse Three
i never claim to be the best at what i do
but I'm loving what i do lets just take a look at you..
man you weak you never bringing heat
you ain't got it like i got it you ain't blessing every beat
and we ain't even in the same kinda mind frame
you just playing mind games you wont get in my way
when i came into this world i was born a playa
and when you came into this world you was born a hata
ill see you lata I'm going to get my dream now
letting everybody know I'm stepping on the seen now
and though it seems how everybody hates
i was sent from up above so i know its no mistake
