Ziggy Marley - black cat


Black cat! come visit me!
I don't care what people say!
I saw your hazel eyes, sparkling in the moonlight.

Black cat one day things will change, I'm gonna wipe away your bad name.
My friends tells me your no good, and I say, hey! I'm not afraid.

Black cat youre beautiful, why does everybody run away?
Has anybody told you, I care,
has anybody told you, I love you.

Black cat! come visit me!
I don't care what people say!
I saw your hazel eyes, sparkling in the moonlight.
Black cat one day things will change, I'm gonna wipe away your bad name.

Black cat, your beautiful, black cat, black cat

Ziggy Marley - Dragonfly


everybody's worried about time
but I just keep that shit off my mind
people living on twenty four hour clocks
but we're on a ride that never stops

hey mister bee the world changer but you remain the same
and I wonder how you'll survive with the environment going down the drain
hey miss dragonfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
you must be wondering what type of creature am I

a dog looked at me and said ziggy why can't we trust man
puss and me get together, so why can't you all just understand
an old tree stood there silently listening to every word we said
as a tear fell he cried what type of creature is man

I said hey mister tree the world change but you remain the same
and I wonder how you survive with the environment going down the drain
hey miss dragonfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
you must be wondering what kind of creature am I
you must be wondering what kind of creature am I

everybody's worried about time
but I just keep that shit off my mind
people living on twenty four hour clocks
but we're on a ride yes we're on a ride we're on a ride that never stops

hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
and I hope you'll survive with the environment going down the drain
hey miss dragonfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
you must be wondering what type of creature am I
you must be wondering what type of creature is man

Ziggy Marley - In the name of god


in the name of god you kill
in the name of your god
in the name of god you conquered
in the name of your god


all religion should be wiped out
so that people may just live
what divides us is an illusion
made up by men in their confusion

in the name of god you kill
in the name of your god
in the name of god you conquered
in the name of your god
and in the name of god you hate
in the name of your god
in the name of god you boast
in the name of your god

spoke of love no one would listen
seems everyones trying to prove something
starting over may be the best thing
so stop the bombs and lets begin

cause this war no one can win
and it seems I'll never learn
oh this war no one can win
well it seems I'll never learn

in the name of god you kill
in the name of your god
in the name of your god you conquered
in the name of your god
in the name of god
in the name of your god

all religion should be wiped out
save the people stand and live
what divides us is an illusion
made up by men in their confusion

in the name of god you kill
in the name of your god
in the name of god you conquered
in the name of your god
in the name of god you boast
in the name of your god
in the name of god you hate
in the name of your god

in the name of your god
why do you kill?
why do you hate?
in the name of god
in the name of god

Ziggy Marley - Looking


My frustration won't subside
I've been tried time after time
but it's not my style to quit
there is more to life than this
in obscurity or fame
we're all playing in this game
searching for something
searching for something

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine

Saturday in the morning
and the rain kept falling
Brother didn't get no sleep
now he's really feeling beat
but there is no time to waste
as the devil tests his faith
he just walks away
on a mission to complete

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
looking oh find you will be fine

she has her hand on her jaw
as she wonders away
what will tomorrow bring
will her dreams just disappear
she find words are hard to say
so she prays everyday
she must find a way
may the pieces fall into place

frustration won't subside
I've been tried time after time
but it's not my style to quit
there is more to life than this
in obscurity or fame
we're all playing in this game
searching for something
searching for something

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
searching for something, looking for something

Ziggy Marley - Melancholy Mood


a little collie weed to ease I grief
too much agony living in the limits of big city
a little collie weed to meditate
too much insanity in this society

melancholy mood I eat for my food
melancholy mood

rise this morning smile with the sun
oh I'm blessed another day has begun
everything in life has its purpose
find its reason, has its season

melancholy mood I eat for my food
melancholy mood

tears leave my eyes I just want to fly
deep down I feel pain
but I know I must rise again

from this melancholy mood
melancholy mood
melancholy mood
I eat for my food
melancholy mood

Ziggy Marley - Shalom Salaam


lost am I in my memories of my forefathers' legacy
I am one of you you are one of me
why don't we set the people free
how I grieve to see fulfillment of prophecy
naive of me to think things could change
while man remain the same so war will be for me everyday
no peace no peace for the children of Israel
Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes
will there be no peace for the children of Palestine

shalom salaam shalom salaam

who will take the blame for the blood of my children
to who does vengeance belong to no one no one
we're dying from tanks and suicide bombs
the only answer is to live as one
and justice will come for my sons and just will come for my sons

shalom salaam shalom salaam

and I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what
is in the heart of you
and I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what
is in the heart of you
children are children no matter color or faith
and I wonder if history will teach us again

so war will be for me everyday
no peace no peace for the children of Israel
Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes
will there be no peace for the children of Palestine

and justice will come for my sons

shalom salaam shalom salaam

Ziggy Marley - True To Myself


life has come a long way since yesterday I say
and its not the same old thing over again I say
just do what you feel and don`t you fool yourself I say
cause I can`t make you happy unless I am I say I say I

got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

day in day out I`ve asked many questions I say
only to find the truth it never changes I say
if you don`t deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little I say
call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live I say I say I

got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

I don`t care if it hurts I`m tired of lies and all these games
I`ve reached a point in life no longer can I be this way
don`t come crying to me I too have shed my share of tears
I`m moving on yes I`m grooving on well I`m finally free I`ve

got to be true to myself got to be true to myself
got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

Good Old Days

Good old days

irie days come on play

let the angels fly let the devils die

got to do what you can with the time at hand

Ali boom mah yeah Ali boom mah yeah
don't worry your mind its just the test of time

in five years these be the good old days



no one knows what the future holds for everything has a season

its not a time for war its a time for peace

tomorrow knows tomorrow woes

I remember when grandpa use to say grandson these be the good old days



these be the good old days



now comes the moon with its starry lights

and so begins the night life

the tribal dance puts me in a trance

as she pulls me in with her magic swing

I asked of her what do we celebrate

she said to me these be the good old days



these be the good old days



leh leh leh leh leh leh leh leh



there is no future there is only now

let's cherish these moments that we now know



these be the good old days​
