01. Jah Nuh Dead
They tried to fool the black population
By telling them that jah jah dead
And they tried to fool the black population
By telling them that jah jah dead..
I & i knows jah - jah no dead - jah no dead
Jah no dead [5x]
Oooh nooo - jah no dead
My knowledge increase
My memory reflect
Marcus garvey did say
A rumour rumour rumour rumour rumour
Aah marcus say
A rumour rumour rumour rumour rumour
Aah marcus say - jah no dead
Jah no dead
It was I-man who say
Green and gold, it's the rainbow
The lion the lion decrowned the king
The lion the lion decrowned the king
Inna in adis abeba - aaafrica
Jah no dead - jah no dead no dead - jah no dead
Meet me at the bank of the beautiful river
When your journey has end
I & i will discuss about this matter
Jah no dead, jah no dead, jah no dead
02. Marcus Garvey
Marcus garvey's words come to pass,

Can't get no food to eat,
Can't get no money to spend, wo-oo-oo
Can't get no food to eat,
Can't get no money to spend, woo-oo-oo
Come, little one and let me do what i can do for you
And you and you alone
Come, little one, wo-oo-oo
Let me do what i can do for you and you alone, woo-oo-oo
He who knows the right thing
And do it not
Shall be spanked with many stripes,
Weeping and wailing and moaning,
You've got yourself to blame, i tell you.
Do right do right do right do right do right,
Tell you to do right, woo-oo-oo
Beg you to do right, woo -oo- oo
Where is bagawire, he's nowhere to be found
He can't be found
First betrayer who gave away marcus garvey
Son of satan, first prophesy,
Catch them, garvey old
Catch them garvey, catch them woo-oo-oo
Hold them marcus, hold them woo-oo-oo
Marcus garvey, marcus woo-oo-oo

You've got to feel yourself and let go
You got to know you reap what you sown
You've got to feel something at sometime
Check the writings on the wall
And look into the sight

You see what goes up must come down
You will die looking up if you're not looking in
You've got to know yourself
I'm looking at your partners and they would never agree
I'm looking for your justice and it can not be seen
I'm checking where you're coming from and where you're going to
I'm checking all off what you have done to see what you can do
I'm looking at your lawbooks and they were never read
I'm looking at your lovesquire and they can not be thread
I'm looking at your empire living on the drears
You've got to know yourself
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart

From now on I'll call you England
Empire fall man, empire go
From now on I'll call you England
There's a lesson to be learned
Why is it that, you must know
From now on I'll call you England
And the rich that you eat is more like food that you fear
From now on I'll call you England
Gotta see no love anyway you appear
From now on I'll call you England
You've got to know yourself
From now on I'll call you England
You've got to know yourself

11. Untold Stories
Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blow a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is no her hair
And like a love-sick lenanshee
She hath my heart in thrall
Nor life I owe, nor liberty
for love is lord of all
and often when the beetles horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto here shielding lorn
And thro' the dooring peep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She makes the bog wood fire
And hums in sad sweet undertone
The song of heart's desire
12. War
There was a Lord who lived in this land
He being a Lord of high degree
He left his foot down a ship's board
And swore strange countries he would go see.
He's travelled east and he's travelled west
Half the north and the south also
Until he arrived into Turkey land.
There he was taken and bound in prison
Until his life it grew weary.
And Turkey bold had one only daughter
As fair a lady, as the eye could see
She stole the key to her Daddy's harbour
And swore Lord Baker, she would set free.
Singing, 'You have houses and you have linen,
All Northumber belongs to thee
What would you give to Turkey's daughter
If out of prison she'd set you free?'
Singing, 'I have houses, I have linen,
All Northumber belongs to me
I would will them all to you my darling,
If out of prison you set me free?'
She's brought him down to her Daddy's harbour
And filled for him was the ship of fame
And every toast that she did drink round him,
'I wish Lord Baker that you were mine.'
They made a vow for seven years
And seven more for to keep it strong
Saying 'If you don't wed with no other woman
I'm sure I'll wed with no other man.'
And seven years been past and over
And seven more they were rolling on
She's bundled up all her golden clothing
And swore Lord Baker she would go find.
She's travelled East and she's travelled West
Until she came to the palace of fame
'Who is that, who is that?' called the young foot soldier
'Who knocks so gently and can't get in?'
'Is this Lord Baker's palace?' replied the lady
'Or is his lordship himself within?'
'This is Lord Baker's palace' replied the porter,
'This very day took a new bride in.'
'Well ask him send me a cut of his wedding cake
A glass of his wine that been e'er so strong
And to remember the brave young lady
Who did release him in Turkey land.'
In goes, in goes, the young foot soldier
Kneels down gently on his right knee
'Rise up, rise up now the brave young porter,
What news, what news have you got for me?'
Singing, 'I have news of a grand arrival,
As fair a lady as the eye could see
She is at the gate
Waiting for your charity.'
'She wears a gold ring on every finger,
And on the middle one where she wears three,
She has more gold hanging around her middle
Than'd buy Northumber and family.'
'She asked you send her a cut of your wedding cake
A glass of your wine, it been e'er so strong,
And to remember the brave young lady
Who did release you in Turkey land.'
Down comes, down comes the new bride's mother
'What will I do with my daughter dear?'
'I know your daughter, she's not been covered
Nor has she shown any love for me.
Your daughter came with one pack of gold
I'll avert her home now, with thirty-three.'
He took his sword all by the handle
And cut the wedding cake, in pieces three
Singing 'here's a slice for the new bride's mother
A slice for me new love and one for me.'
And then Lord Baker, ran to his darling
Of twenty-one steps, he made but three
He put his arms around Turkey's daughter
And kissed his true love, most tenderly.
