"Untold Stories"


While I'm Living
Thanks I'll Be Giving
To the Most High You know,

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray
Only he knows how we get through everyday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have to pay
While our leaders play

All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag
No love for the people who a suffer real bad
Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
What is to stop the youths from get out of control
Full up of education yet no own no payroll
The clothes on my back have countless eyehole.
I could go on and on the full has never been told

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray
Only he knows how we get through everyday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have to pay
While our leaders play

Who can afford to run will run
But what about those who can't:they will have to stay
Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity
In these times I say: When mama spend her last and send you go class
Never you ever play
It's a competitive world for low budget people,
Spending a dime while earning a nickel
With no regards to who it may tickle
My cup is full to the brim
I could go on and on the full has never been told

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray
Only he knows how we get through everyday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have to pay
While our leaders play

All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag
No love for the people who a suffer real bad
Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
What is to stop the youths from get out of control
Full up of education yet no own no payroll
The clothes on my back have countless eyehole
Could go on and on and the full has never been told
(On and On)
Though this life keep getting me down
Don't give up now
Got to survive somehow
Could go on and on and the full has never been told

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray
Only he knows how we get through everyday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have to pay
While our leaders play

Who can afford to run will run
But what about those who can't:they will have to stay
Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity
In these times I say:
When mama spend her last and send you go class
Never you ever play
It's a competitive world for low budget people,
Spending a dime while earning a nickel
With no regards to who it may tickle
My cup is full to the brim
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on:.
The full has never:.

Been told...

"Up In Arms"
(feat. Aslan)

"Up In Arms"
(feat. Aslan)


Here we go
Running through the fields so slow
You always seem so incredibly real
And I know you feel the same
Now we know
What we both need to know
When all of our dreams are convincingly real
Reality stays the same

It's all up in arms
And some things will never change
But I'm ok

Now my dear
Where do we go from here
When everything's looking so bright and so sure
I just know I won't feel afraid
Taking life so easy from here
I'm here

It's all up in arms
And some things will never change
But I'm ok
I'm here to stay

Taking life so easy from here
I'm here

It's all up in arms
And some things will never change
But I'm ok
I'm here to stay

"V.I.P."

"V.I.P."


[Preacher:]
Someone say, "Boldness".

[Congregation:]
Boldness

[Preacher:]
The Bible says in Proverbs 28 verse 1 "The righteous shall be bold like a lion." Bold like a lion. Bold like a lion. The righteous shall be bold like a lion.

What is a real VIP?
Do we have the balls to go to that party?
Or do we rather stay and dance with vanity?
Tell me now what's a real VIP?

And who are we to give that name to us?
When we don't know the lives of others
When we can barely raise a finger
To help our own sisters and brothers
Wasn't it in history
The artists always spoke their people's needs
Now we're gorged upon what devils feed
In the shallow form of MTV
Telling the youth to worship futile dreams
And along for bling and for material things
I tell you what a real VIP is
A face that never was nor will be kissed
To whom exactly are we giving hope
When we stand behind the velvet rope
Or get our pictures taken with the pope
Like some sick April fool kind of joke

Who is the really really real real VIP
The one the true and the most conquering king
Who looks around at everything
And sees exactly what we've been
His is the face that never was nor will be kissed
Do we think we'll be down on his guest list?
When we're standing at the gate
After being fashionably late
There'll be no make up and there'll be no film crews
No Vuitton bags and no Manolo shoes
When he's presiding over you
Asking you, "Did you love only you,
Or did you stand for something else
Besides the hankering for fame and fame itself?"
The one who always was and always is
Will show you what a real VIP is

The fatherless
The motherless
The ravaged child at home who cried to you
You will be asked to say what did you do
And what's behind this velvet curtain?
Don't know but I can say for certain
A face that never was nor will be kissed
Will show you what a real VIP is

[Whispering:]
How can you say we are wise and we possess the instruction of the Lord? Certainly for nothing your pains are labored for nothing your righteous are written. The wise will be put to shame. See? They reject the word of the Lord so their wisdom amounts to nothing. They dress the wounds of my poor people as though they are nothing saying, "Peace peace," when there is no peace. Saying, "All is well," when nothing is well.
.

[Whispering:]
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning it is now and ever shall be, world without end. Oh Yeah.

"Very Far From Home"

"Very Far From Home"


I don't know where I'll go
When I go
I only know
It's very far from home

And I don't know where you are
Either, but I know
You're very far from home
A long for you
I see you in my dreams
So clearly
But when I wake up I'm lone
And don't know where you've gone
But I know
It's very far from home

No one knows where I'll go
When I go
Oh they don't know I'm so far from home
And it's my fault, but you got lost
Let me create something other than trouble
Oh let me find you
Let me mind you
Even if it has to be
Very far from home

I long for you
But see you in my dreams
So clearly
But when I wake up I'm alone
And I don't know where you've gone
But I know it's very far from home
It's very far from home

"Visions Of You"
(feat. Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart)


I'm not numbed that anymore
Not longer feel the hate and pain
No longer dranched in shame
I'm not numbed that anymore
Now I am the key to the door
The kingdom of heaven lies inside
Makes a cirlce with the turning tide
Now the circle is complete
And the heart and mind they need
The kingdom of heaven lies inside

I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endless

It's a vision for me and for you
Hell can be a circle too
With pentation unbroken
And the truth remains unspoken
A vision for me and for you

I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endlessly

I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endlessly

I'm not numbed that anymore
No longer feel the hate and pain
No longer dranched in shame
I'm not numbed that anymore
Now I am the key to the door

I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you endlessly
I love visions of you
I love
Visions of you
I love visions of you endlessly
I love
Visions of you

"Wake Up And Make Love With Me"
(feat. The Blockheads)

"Wake Up And Make Love With Me"
(feat. The Blockheads)


I come awake
With the gift for womankind
You're still alseep
But the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occation
Halfway up your back
Sliding down your body
Touching your behind

You look so self-possessed
I won't distrub your rest
It's lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best

Ow, wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't wanna make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love

You come awake
In a horny morning mood
And we'll have a proper wriggle
In the naughty, naked nude
Roll against my body
Get me where you want me
What happens next is private
It's also very rude

I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have a nother sleep luv
It's me that needs it most

Ow, wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't wanna make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And your'll wake up and make love

Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

"War"

"War"


Until the philosophy,
Which holds one race superior
And another inferior,
Is finally and permanently
Discredited and abandoned,
Everywhere is war.

Until there is no longer first class
Or second class citizens of any nation.
Until the color of a man's skin,
Is of no more significance than
The color of his eyes,
I've got to say "war".

That until the basic human rights,
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race,
I'll say "war"

Until that day the dream of lasting peace,
World-citizenship and the rule of
International morality will remain
Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never obtained.
And everywhere is war.

Until the ignoble and unhappy regime
Which holds all of us through,
Child-abuse, yeah, child-abuse yeah,
Sub-human bondage has been toppled,
Utterly destroyed,
Everywhere is war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
There is war,
And the rumors of war.

Until that day,
There is no continent,
Which will know peace.

Children, children.

Fight!

We find it necessary.
We know we will win.
We have confidence in the victory
Of good over evil

Fight the real enemy!

"Watcher Of Men"

"Watcher Of Men"


Why did I not die at birth?
Expire as I came from the womb?
Why were there knees to receive me?
Or breasts to feed me?
Why was I not like babies
Who never saw the light?
Who lie with kings and counsellors
Who rebuild ruins for themselves

And where rest
Those whose strength is spent
Where small and great are alike
And the slave is free of his master

Oh watcher of men
Do you have eyes of flesh?
Is your vision like man?
Are your years the years of man?
U know that I'm not guilty
And that none can deliver from your hand.

Also u know that u have deeply wronged me oh
And u have fenced me in
You made it so nobody knows me
And I'm an outsider to them

When I accused you, you wouldn't speak
I said you tore up my hope like a tree
But I spoke without understanding
Of things beyond me which I did not know
And now I've heard you with my ears
And I've seen you with my eyes
Therefore I recant and relent
Being but dust and ashes

"We People Who Are Darker Than Blue"

"We People Who Are Darker Than Blue"


We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true
We're just good for nothing they all figure
A boyish grown up shiftless jigger
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at

We people who are darker than blue
This ain't no time for segregating
I'm talking `bout brown and yellow too
High yellow gal can't you tell
I'm just the surface of our dark deep well
If your mind could really see
You'd know your color same as me

Pardon me brother
As you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind
If I tell the whole story

Now I know
We have great respect
For the sister and the mother
It's even better yet
But there's the joker in the street
Loving one brother and killing the other
When the time comes and we are really free
There'll be no brothers left you see

We people who are darker than blue
Don't let us hang around this town
And let what others say come true
We're just good for nothing
They all figure
A boyish grown up shiftless jigger
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at
