Passa Passa 03:40
The Voice in my head It won’t ever stop All through the day It tells me to drop. A sinking feeling That I know all to well Passa passa Turning my life to hell. You got a beef? Let’s take it outside Behind my back’s Not a good place to hide. Thought we were friends Now I see the light. Talk is cheap Now we have to fight.

Sakura 04:34
I think back to the day When I had good reason to stay when I felt your heartbeat your lips like candy Moonlight shined down on you the spring breeze called your name underneath the cherry blossom trees I long for you I think back to the day When I had good reason to stay when I felt your heartbeat your lips like candy You ran away and stole my heart I want it back underneath the cherry blossom trees I stood and wept

Don’t know why I try to hide From the secrets Of my mind. Locked away Nowhere to go Feelin lost Feelin alone. Feeling scared To run I know my time Here is done. Don’t know where I’m gonna cry Don’t where my Soul will lie. Fear and Pain Is all I know My heart’s numb Turned into stone. Ashes fall From the sky Freedom ends And Roses die. Don’t know why I try to hide In the prison Of my mind. Locked away Nowhere to go Feelin lost Feelin alone.

Lost in throws of a great despair I find solace in the void. My soul is tired Drained of purpose and meaning Nothing remains of the man I used to be nothing remains But a shell Lost in a cloud of darkness The void calls to me. I cast aside my chains But my body is a cage. Turning slowly to dust And in its place nothing remains

Chased away Religious fear Persecution Far and near Dispossessed of all we knew Back in 1492. Now we hide ourselves away While they preach And they burn all day Ancient history condemned A golden trails of kindred dead. Wilted roses Ashes rain Children weep The land is stained By the blood of friend and foe Now the sky is filled with crows. In Spanish town We lay Looking forward To the day When we have freedom to roam In this place we found a home. In Spanish town We pray In exile from Our pain Where we have freedom to roam In this place we found a home.

Can you hear it Through the trees. Guerilla war On the Caribbean sea. The sound of horns The beat of drums. A clash of blades And the bang of guns. Tribal war down the mountain side. Myal chants A warrior's pride. They can't contain A tropical fever. The leeward king An african Ceaser Free from bondage We fight until we can not stand. Broken chains Becomes weapons In Ashanti hands Can you hear it Through the trees Maroon war On the caribbean seas. Abeng horns The Kete drums. Taino rage and African blood. Tribal war down the mountain side. Myal chants A warrior pride. Kromanti man Strong like iron. A great fire An african lion Free from bondage We fight until They can not stand. Broken chains Becomes weapons In the captains hands.

Mama 01:30
Kuh, mih pickney dem, How dehn suffah Stripped a dehn identity Dehhn home An dem dignity Taken fram mih by di trade winds a fate Acrass the worl to every kahna. Beaten, bowed, an dispossessed, Mahkdd by dih sands of time. But tru all a oonu suffahring Know dis. No mattah how far mih deh fram oonu An oonu fram mih in dih flesh Mi spirit shall always bih wid oonu Pushing oonu forward And watchin ovah oonu Fah oonu mih pickney a noh fallen bud inna dih jungle a life But lepads inna di Savanna waitin fih strike No mek nutten black oonu way As mih watch oonu fram dih sky An wen oonu sole is weary Know, Dat dis yah island wih always bih oonu home.
