The Get Go 03:31
Everybody, I gathered you here for a very important reason We are here to celebrate this thing called the Get Go! This is a proclamation! This is a celebration! This is a jubilation! Say Yeah! Gotta get up right now, get up and go Cause this is not the only road I'll ever know Gotta be real right now, look to the sky My positivity will keep me lifting high Gotta get up right now, get up and go Gotta put the fire right back down inside my soul. Gotta be real right now, all to myself Cause I can't take the pressure from no one else Don’t let a life of innocence be wrecked by drugs and violence! We’ve all got the power in our hands, at your command! At your command! Help me one time! Oooooh! Gotta get up right now! I feel alive, I feel the love and spirit. Walkin’ on sunshine, baby… yeah!

Now, let me tell you about the time when I come to move downtown Said, let me tell you about the time when I come to move downtown Well I was poor and rent was cheap And my bills had dug a hole for me, six feet deep And a low-income apartment was all that I had found Now, Everybody’s life gets hard one time or another Said, everybody’s life gets hard one time or another But for every day in hell Is like one more drop in a wishing well And now I know, I know, I know now what it’s like to suffer That’s why I’m singing… Everythings alright, everythings OK, I’m no no crazy No, I’m just living in a Ghetto No, No, You don’t have to worry about me Because the time goes slow, but the money goes fast Somehow or another, gotta make it last Don’t let it slip away! And there’s a girl upstairs and she cries, but I don’t know what to do Said the girl upstairs and she cries, but I don’t know what to do (Boo Hoo) Yeah the girl upstairs cries out And I don’t even know what she’s cryin’ about But I know, I know she’s so sad, she make me sad too So I said “Harriet, come downstairs and join my barbeque!” I said, “Harriet, get your ass down here, you better join my barbeque!” Where there’s a lot of food to eat And there’s a place where you can rest your feet And I know, I know, I know now… That you’ll like my barbeque! And then I tell her… Everythings alright, everythings OK, you’re not crazy No, you’re just with me, in a Ghetto No, No, You don’t have to worry about it Because the time goes slow, but the money goes fast Somehow or another, gotta make it laaaaaaaast Don’t let it slip away!

Rito? 02:51
My name is Rito, I come from San Jo I got no money, no mas dinero But I’m a cowboy, so keep em comin’ The music’s loud and the beats are thumpin’ Come come women, come dance with me Making love come so easily for me My name is Rito and I’m your cowboy, from San Jose! We do the Cha cha, Boney Marony We do the Salsa, then the Banda Maybe Merengue, or the Mambo Just like a rocket ship taking off I will take you so far away Pay my tab, so that we can leave this place My name is Rito, your latin lover from San Jose! No necesito mi pantalones, no necesito calzones No necesito mi chaqueta, no necesito mi camiseta Yo soy perrito de amore, soy borracho y tu eres me alcohol Yo necesita, siempre tu cama y tu amor

When I’m in the jungle, I feel safe with the Mangoes All the animals know that I am much to rough and tough to bear Cuz I’m not afraid of anything in the jungle Just as long as you’re not there Woah woman, you left me all alone, like a dog with out a home Like a king without a lair, you were gone in the thin air Like a bird without a song, I didn’t do nobody wrong So why can’t your memory let me sleep at night I have trained all the lions from here to Mt Zion And I can tell the Elephants to charge at my command But none could protect me, on the day you left me My life is in your hands Girl, I don’t know what to do, now that you and I are through I can’t live with the pain, My tears are falling down like rain I worry all the time, but I’m guilty of no crime All the love in my heart is just an empty space When I’m in the jungle, I feel safe with the Mangoes All the animals know that I am much to rough and tough to bear Cuz I’m not afraid of anything in the jungle Just as long as you’re not there

My girl talk a little too loud My girl has her head in the clouds Well I tried to speak but there's nothing to say My friends try to help, but I push them away I guess I can't help when my heart's on display in this way She's my girl My girl some may say is a mess (oh, she's a mess) My girl is a little strange I confess (she should wash her hair with finesse) But what would you do, if you stood in my space You'd probably feel a bit out of place But that does not give me a reason to give up the chase My girl drives a little too fast (look out!!!) My girl says it will not last (not if she keeps driving like that!) But when I have her near me, my heart starts to dance I try to run, but there isn't a chance I guess that I must take a chance on this hopeless romance Cuz she' my girl!

Sound System 03:27
The Sound System is blown. The Sound System is blown. No one can hear my Jah Jah And no one can feel my rasta fire!
