(2002)

01.SNEAKERS

Yeah were free like the breeze um they couldn't fuck with Patrice
Yo the world is rotten from top to bottom the devil comes down
yeah frequently to go soul shopping
What we know we have forgotten

Well this will rise and this won't drop
and this will move and this wont stop
Cos this is real and this is true and this is me and this is you

look at my sneakers to judger me

The military didn't want me
they said I couldn't deal with authority
They guy took a look said I was a crook
Looked at my face looked at my waist
Looked at my shoes looked at my hat
said that boy means trouble that boy is bad
They kicked me out of the boarding school cos be burned up mi room
The fire we mi a burn so big it did a kill dem wid the fumes!
When me at the club me they see me in VIP
anywhere I go I need to bring my I.D
At my own gigs their messing with me
just the other day I had a fight with my own security!
when I'm on the train they check up on me
when I'm on the plane they check up on me
when I'm at the border they dig up my laundry
they say I've got that look like I'm from the middle east

look at my sneakers to judger me
I'll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy
But they could never touch me

Look at his sneakers to judge him he leaves them speechless and dodgy
They say thast niggaz too foxy but they could never get dodgy
Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa...

They see that bling but I do my thing but the sound wing cos their
shit sounds so thin
Now there in but trends change like the wind when I step up then
judgement begins

I want to hear my echoe from up town down to the ghetto
From Adis Ababa straight down to Soweto
Me say echoe??.they say my lyric dem too dark so let me say them in falsetto

Me say who are you to tell me the fuck to tell me what to do
Coming out of the blue with your tie and your shoe
Me say who tell me tell me who the fuck are you
Instead of looking at my eyes you be looking at my shoes

look at my sneakers to judger me
I'll leave them speechless and dodgy
They say that niggaz too foxy
But they could never touch me

Na na na nana na na na Na na na nana na na na Na nana na na naaaa..

02.WHERE DO WE GO WRONG
Me and peeps we be cruising on
Merkaba Internal keep blusing on
Shashamani will never be cooling down
we're moving on

assume in different ways
that what we feel today
when we see the children play
they are not afraid
of anything
they know something
are you feeling what I say
in my very different way
I am so afraid
Oh yeah
Today
Of everything

Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top
Where do we go wrong
They be forever preaching
Never see them laughing
Again

But we never stop

I have an axe to grind
Our world is in a bind
The dollars make us blind
All the time
Oh my
To everything
And another thing
don't tell me that is this
don't tell me this is that
I know just where you're at
Just relax
That's just not my thing
Oh give me peace
'coz Jah has release

Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top
Where do we go wrong
They be forever preaching
Never see them laughing
Again

But we will never stop
Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top

Battered and beleaguered
Was the case
As we were firmly
Put in our place self deprecating
What a waste it was never ending
So hard they chased

It's all about the energy
You're sending me
When a penni
You ah penni me
So you're telling me
That that food
That you're selling
Me is so
But I'm telling you
It's killing me

Where do we go wrong
Let me tell you something
I was never reaching
Just take us to the top
Where do we go wrong
They be forever preaching
Never see them laughing
Again
 




03.UP IN MY ROOM
When I’m up in my room (and I’m thinking of you)
And I’m thinking of you (when I’m up in my room)
I’m just finding my way through this sinister day
just let the music play

Emancipating my heart
from Hollywood love
too many people got caught.
Emancipating my mind from a system designed (yeah)
to limit mankind
but I leave that behind.

When I’m up in my room (and I’m thinking of you)
And I’m thinking of you (when I’m up in my room)
I’m just finding my way through this sinister day
just let the music play

Let’s build a house on the beach
plant a family tree
and live in harmony
Only in love we are free
that’s why I’m down on my knees (yeah)
to make you my queen
My mind and heart are making peace
Didn’t come here to please
nobody but Jah
let my colours increase
Let us run to the east
let us look for the keys
that can open the rooms
Yo! Check out Patrice

When I’m up in my room (and I’m thinking of you)
And I’m thinking of you (when I’m up in my room)
I’m just finding my way through this sinister day
just let the music play

The ground shakes under my feet
oh this feeling so sweet
won’t you dance with me?

We all want love and happiness
as long as there is heart within our chest,
believe in your self and love will do the rest
we have to manifest.
Some want to understand
Some overstand
Some want to live some want to be lived by them
For all those that don’t know what I’m saying
let me break it down again.

When I’m up in my room (and I’m thinking of you)
And I’m thinking of you (when I’m up in my room)
I’m just finding my way through this sinister day
just let the music play

The ground shakes under my feet
oh this feeling so sweet
won’t you dance with me?

04.HOW DO YOU CALL IT
(Love love love love love love)

How do you call it when autumn leaves keep falling?
Tell me how do you mean it?
You think I was dreaming not feeling.
I was feeling for you as I was falling for you.

You deal with the truth of the heart (yeah)

07.MUSIC
When my feet were in shackles
And my hands were in chains
You took my mind and made it settle
In a land so far away

When I was toiling in the fields (yeah)
You made me push on through
Yes I'm head over heels,
Over heels in love with you
Yes I'm head over heels,
Over heels in love with you

When I was in the womb
You made me wanna see this world
Every setting of the moon
I dreamt of you being my girl

Say ooh I can't deny
Without you I would be dead
And the day that I die
I die with you in my head,
Yes the day that I die
I die with you in my head,
In my head in my head

There's just no get away
When you're dancing in my brain
When I'm cruising on your waves
Coulda never go astray (ooh)

There's just no get away
When you're dancing in my brain
When I'm cruising on your waves
Coulda never go astray (ooh)

Everything is music
I just put parts in a frame
To capture this very moment
And never let it go away
They use you and abuse you
And treat you like a thing
Forever I'll be faithful
have your back untill the end
Forever I'll be faithful
have your back untill the end

There's just no get away
When you're dancing in my brain
When I'm cruising on your waves
Coulda never go astray (ooh)

08.THOUGHT I KNEW
I thought I knew what love is
but now I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this.
I thought I knew
what love is,
I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this, now I know what love is.

I found beauty in the poorest of places,
while in the rich world there was none of it to find.
Born and raised in the desert your voice was my oasis,
you where like waterwhen my cup was running dry.
In my darkest hour you would shine right in my face yes.
When I was down and blue through you my hopes were raised.
Yes In my prayers I givethanks
and I give praises for you, baby you, baby you

I thought I knew what love is
but now I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this.
I thought I knew
what love is,
I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this, now I know what love is.

Life is blazing you're amazing moon bathing
on the pavement in your arms I find my peace of mind.
As paradise was civilized and paralized superflys
with 7 lives were televised as heaven crys these lullabies.
Well it's venus between us seniors team up with deamons.
Them fight the wars we bear the scars,
mess up the earth and leave tomars.
This is higher than any mountain greater
than the universe deeper than eternity
your gravity is grounding me.
And I take you on morning rides,
yes I take you on evening rides,
yes we will ridethe storms and tides,
through the night through the night,
through the night

I thought I knew what love is
but now I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this.
I thought I knew
what love is,
I got to redefine it,
now I know what I missed
as I was looking for this, now I know what love is.

09.SUNSHINE
And when I feel
life's heavy labours calling.
I make my self
light aslight
I think of things
as they come to me
without warning
A train of thoughts passing through on the tracks

Sunshine
we be cruising,
it's in our music
that's where the truth is
cos we have done
that cos we haven't been there
I wanna go there
cos we will run that,
I wanna go for real

See the sun shine
in winter time see snow falling in summer time
it's all crazy like our minds
all this anger makes us blind.
For all these poisons that are mine
I know I can not rewind
as I struggle to be more kind
As the train lies
and I mess around
I'm so young but not without a sound,
been seen double,keeping me down
I fiddle with a thought
But not without a sound

Sunshine
we be cruising,
it's in our music
that's where the truth is
cos we have done
that cos we haven't been there
I wanna go there
cos we will run that,
I wanna go for real

(I wanna feel it,
I wanna be there,
I want you to feel it,
the way that I feel it.
Don't you conceal it,
come on reveal it,
you better kiss me
you better love your self.)

My body and your body
can fuse into one
shadow on the wall.
Your body and my body
produce somebody
a soundbody.
Just look what we conjured
out of nowhere like the notes
that thrill the air

Sunshine
we be cruising,
it's in our music
that's where the truth is
cos we have done
that cos we haven't been there
I wanna go there
cos we will run that,
I wanna go for real

(I wanna feel it,
I wanna be there,
I want you to feel it,
the way that I feel it.
Don't you conceal it,
come on reveal it,
you better kiss me
you better love your self.)





10.SEASONS
Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

But it is cold so cold
and clouds burry us like snow.
We were so bold to hold
on to love like gold.
And it's so beautiful
when ever nature does her thing;
oh it's so beautiful
just like a queen and a king.
And the rain yes the rain
couldn't wash away my blame,
yes the rain ah the rain
couldn't wash away my blame

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

But life's a circle
and we are in it
some wait for miracles
we push the limits.
Through ups and downs,
hills and valleys
I have travelled
and I'm farfrom finished.
I keep it moving ,
keep it spinning,
see I wouldn't be me today
if it wasn't for the shit I've been in.
Can't be losing everwinning
don't get caught up in winter take it back to the beginning

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night
until the morning light.
Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter
were out of what we had
we looking for excuses
but our love is simply dead

the right road is rocky (raggy) and the hill is steep.
If you forget to fast and neglect the past will you find your peace

Spring time
I wake up and Close my eyes
you gave me butterflies
as our love wason the rise
Summer
the season has reached its height
love making through the night

Autumn
I see colours fading out
the heat is cooling down
and leaves are falling to the ground.
As in winter

12.HOUSEHOLD
You see a million uses
In each household that you see yes
No matter how obtuse it is
Need to get all the vagaries
Think it over now
‘coz it ain’t all the no-how

been a revolution
in this tidy life of mind
and there’s no institution
could fight the old divine

You don’t wanna rise
Because you’re scared of falling
Perfer to remain down
With you feet stuck to the ground

Pull you into places
Where you don’t belong
Into spaces
Where you don’t come from
Isn’t it amazing
The way we carry on
Try to leave traces
When we are gone

The fickle man’s feet
Are fancy free
But that quick buzz
It ain’t for me
And there ain’t a man’s feast
That’s for free
And that’s because
I believe
That I’ve seen all the fruit
And you’ve seen me
And I know that I’ve been
And I feel weak

Pull you into places
Where you don’t belong
In spaces
Where you don’t come from
Isn’t it amazing
The way we carry on
Try to leave traces
When we are gone

You don’t wanna rise
Because you’re scared of falling
Prefer to remain down
With your feet stuck in the ground
But what if the ground you’re
Standing on starts falling?
You disappear
Without a sound

Pull you into places
Where you don’t belong
Into spaces
Where you don’t come from
Isn’t amazing
The way we carry on
Try to leave traces
When we are gone

04.YOU ALWAYS YOU
This one is
dedicated to the truth
this is Babatunde the original conscious youth.

when I look in your eyes i can feel the sun come rise.
it seems like you give me the thing I was missing in my life.
the thing I gave up to search.
cause I thought I`m not going to find
but how could I find when there is no light in my night
`how could I find when there are clouds and no sunshine?
you fill me up with joy. every moment`s a suprise.
you set me free from Babylon. you make me leave this place for
miles.
you`re no illusion. no, you are the truth.
never forget, it`s you, always you

na na na
na na na na
it`s you, always you, my sweet dream

yes you are my earth and you make me give birth to
melodies and thoughts, enliven by your love.
Yes, I`m a global villager, but you give me home.
wherever I may wonder, wherever I may roam
while I write this song the world around me disappears
I dip into my thoughts and I speak this niseless prayer

Lord of lords and king of kings. conquering lion, Jah Jah
Almightly One who arts im mount Zion
I beg you guide and protect the woman I call queen of
Queens and dreams lioness reflection of patrice
You are right the word restricts the sense
But I think you know what I mean I mean what I really
Mean when I call You my sweet dream

na na na

it`s you, always you, my sweet dream

when I look in your eyes i can feel the sun come rise.

07.QUEENS
this here one is for the queens
'cause it's you that make me deh
I say it's you that make me be
this is for all the sweet dreams
how much injustice you have to face
before you I bow my knees

how many times your man gone
while you stay alone with your daughters and sons
how many times the man hit' and run'
'cause responsibility ha can't stand
how many times tell me how many times
you have to face discrimination
how many times tell me how many times
you get lick by your man
but it is you that makes the world go 'round
let nobody put you down you have to wear the crown
it is you that make the world go 'round
know the value of yourself and let nobody put you down

don't let them tell you who you are
never ever bow no no no no
rise and take your stand
queens of this world to you I dedicate my song

this here one is for the queens
'cause it's you that make me deh
I say it's you that make me be
this is for all the sweet dreams
how much injustice you have to face
before you I bow my knees

upon your shoulders you carry
so much responsibility for this strayed humanity
it is you that rule our destiny
in your heart you bear
all the future of this earth
I tell you if you wasn't here
the end would be near. no title of this world can give you
royality of birth
you could wear diamonds and pearls
into a queen you still can't be turned
it's a profession you can't learn
and it's a title you can't earn
all true born queens hold firm

'cause it's you that makes the world go 'round
make nobody put you down you have to wear the crown
it's you that makes the world go 'round
know the value of yourself and make nobody put you down

don't let them tell you who you are
never ever bow no no no no
keep you temple clean
queens, queens, queens, queens, queens

this here one is for the queens
'cause it's you that make me deh
I say it's you that make me be
this is for all the sweet dreams
how much injustice you have to face
before you I bow my knees

09.PARTY
Oh Lordi, Lordi, who rocks the party party
it's babatunde, patrice babatunde
all the ladies wind up your body

there is fire on the dancefloor
'cause patrice is in the dancehall
all the massive that love Jah
say yeah yeah
there is fire on the dancefloor
'cause bantu is in the dancehall
if you are rightious and hardcore
say yeah yeah
oh what a beat what a heat
it makes you kick up your feet
all the massive and all crews
if you have lighters let me see it
oh what a tune what song
look at the dancefloor it's burning
just enjoy yourselves and have fun

Oh Lordi, Lordi, who rocks the party party
it's babatunde, patrice babatunde
all the ladies wind up your body

when babatunde is in action
wack mc's run for protection
an iron shirt I put on
and your seccion I wreck down
and satan I burn so that
his eyes turn brown
and his skin gets a sun-tan
if you can't stand the heat
you should put dancing shoes on your feet
and if you can't stand the glow
you should put on your dancing shoes

and then move, 'cause it's good for you
it keeps your body fit and makes your
motions look so smooth
and then dance to the rhythm of my chant
leave your troubles behind
because it's culture we perform

Oh Lordi, Lordi, who rocks the party party
it's babatunde, patrice babatunde
all the ladies wind up your body





10.MURDERER
nobody move, nobody get hurt
you come home by big car and you return by hearse
'cause we are murderers-we burn all pegons
and we are dangerous-we don't joke and don't make fun we
are the champion sound
- we wear the crown and if a drumpan sound come test - we crush to the ground - we chase it out of town

what do you prove
nobody move, nobody get hurt
we have the vibes that make you fly
fly like a bird
don't disturb else
we put your face into the dirt
I and I work and one day we will take over 5the planet Earth
why you try, you know how
but you don't know why
and that is why we are going to send
you back to school for life
bad men spread lies and rumours
brainwash propaganda
but we don't care about the world out there my brother
'cause when b.a.n.t.u. sound in the atmosphere my sister
the people love the people dance and the people share
and mother Africa spirit seems to deh in the air the spirit seems to deh in the air

nobody move, nobody get hurt
you come home by big car and you return by hearse
'cause we are murderers-we burn all pegons
and we are dangerous-we don't joke and don't make fun we
are the champion sound
- we wear the crown and if a drumpan sound come test - we crush to the ground - we chase it out of town




11.LOVE

12.LIFE HARD
Life is getting hard in the ghetto
Life is getting hard in the concrete jungle

I know I know that Jah will never leave I alone
I feel I feel the great spirit coming definitely
I see I see that Jah prophecy shall surely reveal
Join we join we join we

Life is getting hard in the ghetto
Life is getting hard in the concrete jungle

A jagajo they come to rock our show
They never knew this undercover flow
Give us a blow want us to sit at the back row
No no no no no no

Life is getting hard in the ghetto
Life is getting hard in the concrete jungle

Life is getting harder
And much hipocrasy is going on here
But I and I don't believe their rumours
We fling fire upon their border
Boy can't you see you are what they want you to be
Like in the days of slavery I-man live in captivity
Frustration is so deep it's a false truth they are teaching
But no more tears I will weep full time we break free

Life is getting hard in the ghetto
Life is getting hard in the concrete jungle

14.NO EXCUSE
Them ah chat like them bad, but them don't know what them do. All of
them flex - like idiot,- Them must be mad them must be fool.- There's
so much them forgot, when them type of people there pass - through

I just say stupidness is no excuse.- Enough man ah gawn like them are
bad man?- badman,- But badness nah go pa.- It can pay yout rent in the
morning and the evening,- But about the end of the day.- Others ah
gawn like them are big man - and suck out the blood of the poor.- But
almighty Jah Jah I see everything,- so there is no need to be fake,-
cause your - judgement you can't escape.

Them ah chat like them bad, but them don't know what them do. All of
them flex - like idiot,- Them must be mad them must be fool.- There's
so much them forgot, when them type of people there pass - through

Enough sophists and fals prophets,- They try mislead the youth. -
Them give them false knowledge - in a college - to make them brains
confused.- Them all ah try fi fake the truth.- Jah Jah name, them
misuse - But awareness is a must - cause stupidness is no excuse.-
Injustice, is what them practice.- There are so many false pretenders
- Them smile inna your face - And behind your back them rip you off.-
So beware and take care - Of where you stand and who you are - Mind
what you take inna your system - cause only you can be blamed - for
the consequences of your doings - so people unu fi wake

Them ah chat like them bad, but them don't know what them do. All of
them flex - like idiot,- Them must be mad them must be fool.- There's
so much them forgot, when them type of people there pass - through

15.MONEYPULATION
money, money, money, go and catch the money
money, money, money, go and snatch the money
money, money, money, moneypulation is going on
it takes over like a storm

sometimes, when I wake up at night - a voice say get up and run - in
the meantime another voice says - go and fight babylon - 'cause
everywhere I walk and everywhere I go - I see brethrens that sell
their souls - everywhere I go and everywhere I walk - I hear bad
intentions behind them talks - everybody just thinks about this
advantages - evan the people you call your friends - money gives
worth to things that that ain't go no worth that'S why useless -
things mean so much to them - money may pay what's of vanity - but it
could never pay what ever (always) will stay

money, money, money, go and catch the money
money, money, money, go and snatch the money
money, money, money, moneypulation is going on
it takes over like a storm

sometimes when I stay up at nigjt- and I am in my meditation - I get
to realise - that Africa is the cradle - and babylin is the grave of
man - it's brainwashington that seems to run babylon - but as big
ecinomists pass through - even the white-wash-house has to bow down -
mutation of man is the reaction to their pan - but babylon is going
down - in this time of revelation

money, money, money, go and catch the money
money, money, money, go and snatch the money
money, money, money, moneypulation is going on
it takes over like a storm

16.MAKE WE GO
Come make we go
Come make we go
Come make we go
Make we go home

This land is so cold
so come make we leave out of rome
This land is so cold
so come make we leave Babylon
come make we go home
Come and make we go home

I ask:
How you wanna see when the sun never shines
when sinister clouds cover the sky
Tell me, how you wanna feel when your senses get deaden
by the things that you eat
and the things you take in
but this system will burn down
too long satan is wearing the crown
This system will burn down
so my brethrens come make we move out
And make we go

Come make we go
Come make we go
Make we go home

This land is so cold
so come make we leave Babylon
This land is so cold
so come make we leave out of rome
Come make we go home
Come make we go home
Come make we go home

I ask:
How do you want to live with an enslaved soul
and illousion as your goal
and under satan's control
Tell me, how do you want to love
when your heart must be closed
and if you opened the door that would be too dangerous

No matter who you are
and no matter how clever you are
You can't resist forever
So my brothers and sisters come on
and make we go

Come make we go
Come make we go
make we go home

This land is so cold
so come make we leave Babylon
This land is so cold
so come make we leave out of rome

Come make we go
Come make we go
Make we go home

This land is so cold
so come make we leave Babylon
This land is so cold
so come make we move out of rome
Come make we go home

Come and make we go home...
