The Get Go

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!

15th St. Ghetto Song

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?

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

Pride and the Animal
03:38

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

She's my Girl
03:14
|
|||
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!

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!
