Sorry about that - didn't see it! Thanks for the Heritage song! Here's another song - not at all sure who sang it - could be Sizzla, maybe with Buju (he's definitely on the song).... Again I don't know the name of the song, but it has lines something like .... Why is it you're laughing, seems as if you're having ball, your fake smile don't hold me at all...... That guy Nasio had a really cool song Dangerous ..... Driver don't stop all |

Luciano - Over the Hills
Where must I find a place to live in this jungle created by mankind? Where will I lay my weary head, tell me, how will I find a peace of mind? Some say earth a run red man and man must insure them head But I feel like running instead And find me a place I'll be free I will take me over hills and the valleys, yes I will find me a place, I'll be free Yes I'll take me far away from the city Mother Nature is calling me So many years in starvation and I can't find a thing to 'nyam' sometimes I contemplate and wonder what is wrong Though I drive so hard I just can't get along Man to man is unjust and I don't know who to trust Still I say living is a must So I'll find me a place where I'll be free Yes, I'll take me over hills and valley Yes I'll find me a place I'll be free Yes I'll take me far away from the city Mother Nature is calling me Doing my best to survive mankind to liberate the captive mind still they don't seem to hear my call so I won't linger and perish with them all Some say earth a run red Man and man must insure them head But I feel like running instead And find me a place where I'll be free Yes I'll take me over the hills and valley Yes I'll find me a place I'll be free I will take me far away from the city |
