Songs Of Joy (w/ Capleton) - Promoe, Capleton

Blaze up di fire make e burn dem

Burn dem, burn dem, burn dem

David versus Goliath.

David-ooos!

Dem fi know!

Who dem?

Get up, get up!

Yo!

To my, to my, to my…

Singers and players of instruments

On all continents

Making a difference

We come stompin in (right)

Battling ignorance

Boost you confidence (ha)

Ain’t no stopping me and my people (you the man, say!)

Big budget of pocket change

Guerilla market

And all over you block

We got the whole world targeted

We aim and we lockin it

Blow up the stock exchange

Keep on rockin in the free world

Songs of joy

For the people, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Songs of joy

For the people

Yo, man no musician

Tell them I’m a profession

Songs of joy

For the people, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Songs of joy

For the people

But Babylon no try fi shut it down

Cause you can’t touch mi zone

Say again!

Just can’t stop my flow

Well a mi say more liberation

Mi say more respiration

They just can’t stop my flow

Well a mi say more salvation

More reparation

They just can’t stop my flow

Well a mi say more education

And more determination

They just can’t stop my flow

Well a mi say brrrrrrrrr

Yo Promoe!

Tell dem some!

Religously paying these pictures and making these scissors

Ninety-six when I made my first brick in the business

I got bit more than one snuff snix in the kitchen

Faking them pictures, wanted that, already hated the bitchness

Instead I made my decision and played my position

As Davis vs Golith started getting greater ambitions

Only holding us back, let it create a division

But I bridgin the gap language and make it sing kings ooo…

Songs of joy

For the people, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Songs of joy

For the people

Tell them I no musician

Tell them I’m a profession

Songs of joy

For the people, songs of joy

Burning evil, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Babylon plotting and scheming and chopping the planet

Feel as are they evil (?) Yo!

I need some piece of music and some peace of mind

Piece of paper just to speak my mind

I turn it up and meditate and it feels so fine

It’s something more that just beats and rhymes

It’s entertainment and educaction

Bringing for changes through motivation

Universal language, communication

It my occupation!

Yea, give me that, give me that

Why them fighting it, why them fighting it?

When this is so much beyond black and whiting it

Why them fighting it, why them fighting it?

You who kills the mission.

A me tell them say again!

Ninety-one, recorded my first song with Embee

Traveled with music I never know how long it’d take me

Got through with love in my heart though the wrongs would tempt me

Always making sure that my songs ain’t empty

From message, emotion, the essence, devotion

The pressure’s enormous, I’m crossing the ocean

Sweden, Germany, Jay-Jay and New York me

Changon I’m coming through talking

Songs of joy

For the people, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Songs of joy

For the people

Tell them I no musician

Tell them I’m a profession

Songs of joy

For the people, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Songs of joy

For the people make me brrrr…

Pull up and give me it again…

Songs of joy

For the people, no take them for toy

Burning evil

Songs of joy

For the people

Yo, man no musician

Tell them I’m a profession

Songs of joy

Get up!

Stand up strong!

Burning evil, for the people

Babylon no try fi shut it down

Cause you can’t touch me zone, yo!

Music is a mission

Get up!

Get up!

Singing our songs of joy

And it’s my profession

Get up!

Get up!

It’s my religion

Babylon won’t shut it down

From Sweden to Kingston (and all over the world…)

When they just can’t stop the sound (can't stop, won’t stop…)
