Old Pirates, yes, they were by
Sold right to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took high
From the bottomless pit
A hand was made strong
By the hands of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
This song
Songs of freedom
All I ever had
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves
From mental slavery
None but ourselves
Can free our minds
Have no fear for
Atomic energy
Cause none of them
Can stop the time
How long
Shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look up
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember
When we used to sit
In the government yard
In trench town
Yeah
Observing the hypocrites
When mingle with the good people we meet
Yeah
Good friends we've had
But good friends we've lost
Along the way
Hey, hey, hey
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
And don't worry about a thing
Every little thing is gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
Every little thing is gonna be alright
Rise up this morning, smile with the rising sun
Three little birds, sit by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs, melodies pure and true
Singing, this is my message to you
Could you be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Don't let them fool ya
Oh no, no
Or even try to school ya
Oh no, no
We've got a mind of our own
So go
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy
Oh no, no
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy
Oh no, no
All around in my hometown
They're trying to drag me down
They say they want to bring a guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy now
But I swear
Oh I swear
Oh I swear
Oh I swear
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh, I know
Soldier
Straighten up
Rasta
Buffalo Soldier
The one for America
Stolen from Africa
Brought to America
Fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
When I analyze this change
To me it makes a lot of sense
How the dreadlocked Rasta
Was the Buffalo Soldier
Cause he was stolen from Africa
Brought to America
Fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
I don't wanna wait and beg for your love
I don't wanna wait and beg for your love
From the very first time I've blessed my eyes on you babe
My heart says follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting's feeling fine
Just fine
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Cause I know how to do my thing
Yes I do
Don't talk to me
As if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come
See
Steer it up
Come on
Little darling
Steer it up
Come on and
Steer me up
Steer it up
Ooh baby
Little darling
Steer it up
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I wanna love ya
And treat me right
I wanna love ya
Every day and every night
We'll be together
With the roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter
Of my single bed
We'll share the same roof, or job room by the bed
Is this love, is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this love, true love that I'm feeling?
I'm on the rock, and when I take a stop
I have to run a lot of fugitive, to save the life I live
I'm gonna be iron, like a lion, in Zion
I'm gonna be iron, like a lion, in Zion
Iron, lion, Zion
Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up
Stand up for the right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for the right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Preacher man, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth
It's a love story
It's all that's little and small
Half the story has never been told
And now you see the light
What you gonna do?
Stand up for your right
I only hear me
One love
Oh, Lord have mercy
One love
All right
Let's get together and
Feel all right
As it was in the beginning
One love
So shall it be in the end
One heart
It's such a praise to the Lord
And now we feel all right
Woo-hoo
Let's get together
Let's get together
And feel all right
Let's get together
One love
Oh, oh, one love
One heart
What a heart
Let's get together
Hey brothers and sisters
Feel all right
Come on, come on
Feel all right
One love
Oh, hey, hey
One heart
It's such a praise to the Lord
And now we feel all right
Sing along
Let's get together
Come on, come on
And feel all right
Woo-hoo
One love
One love
One heart
One heart
Let's get together
And feel all right
One love
One love
Woo-hoo
One heart
Oh, oh, oh
It's such a praise to the Lord
And now we feel all right
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's get together
Let's get together
