[Promoe - Songs Of Joy lyrics]
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)
