Man Of My Own

(앨범: Journey To Jah - 2002)

From Jamaica to Germany y'all, check it out
Heh, hey, yo, yo, wha' gwaan enuh
Nuff a dem a mix corruption and sin
Well, this Gentleman and Morgan Heritage a sing
A wha' you haffi say now?
Excess amount of niceness, yah man
Heh

I'm a man of my own, so I do what I like
So wha' dem waan come tell me say
I know what it is wrong, still I do what is right
So wha' dem waan come tell me say
And when the heathen dem a come and waan put up a fight
So wha' dem waan come tell me say
Me moving to another level, reaching higher heights
Yeah, yeah

Dem under pressure when we say so, cah we still a do we thing
Chant another verse and giving praises to the King
Oh, don't and a leggo some outbad? we in
No mix up inna corruption and sin
You should have seen dem yesterday how dem a skank the riddim
Today dem back against the wall, no tell me what it a go bring
Dem looking for a chance, but dem chance too slim
Morgan Heritage come sing

Yes, now through the heights we attaining and then a wonder
A same time Jah powers have dem under pressure
No, King Selassie break their bands asunder
And under foot a Nyabinghi put dem under
No, can't withstand the powers of Jah Jah
We tell you no man, no man, for He is the higher power
And Gentleman a tell dem say again

I'm a man of my own, so I do what I like
So wha' dem waan come tell me say (say, say)
I know what it is wrong, still I do what is right
So wha' dem waan come tell me say (can't say)
And when the heathen dem a come and waan put up a fight
So wha' dem waan come tell me say (she say)
Me moving to another level, reaching higher heights
Give thanks to Jah Jah
Yeah, yeah

Dem say dem came and conquer, same time dem sad
That's why the youth dem nowadays a live like a outlaw
Have dem piece upon dem head, you see dem a ready fi draw
Dem X-rated and bla
If this is your occupation, then this is my motivation
Fi write another song and send the notice invitation
To all you heads a nation, we want the unification
We tired fi see the underprivileged go a station

Hey yo, it's my turn to bet
And it's up to me to yes represent that
That the ghetto youths got put to the back
For, and I can't take it no more
Do you hear me gunner, put it out the door
Yo, the up and downs, and the ins and outs
Who could tell me that they never had doubts
About what to be, what to do, or even what to think
I tell you the pressure is really getting thick, yeah

Dem under pressure when we say so, cah we still a do we thing
Chant another verse and giving praises to the King
Hold on and a leggo some outbad? we in
No-no mix up inna corruption and sin
You should have seen dem yesterday how dem a skank the riddim
Today dem back against the wall, no tell me what it a go bring

Dem searching for a chance, but dem chance looks slim
That's why we come sing
Yeah, yeah

I'm a man of my own, so I do what I like
So wha' dem waan come tell me say
I know what it is wrong, still I do what is right
So wha' dem waan come tell me say
And when the heathen dem a come and waan put up a fight
So wha' dem waan come tell me say
Me moving to another level, reaching higher heights
Oh, Jah Jah, Jah Jah, Jah Jah, Jah Jah...

Moving to higher heights
Give thanks to Jah, the Most High
We're moving to a higher height
Gentleman and Morgan Heritage a say
