SHEM LYRICS
I'm not high society but I'm alright
I get high in society so I'm alright
Hey Mr babylon see I'm doing fine
I don't fit in with the others so I'm alright
Don't tell me that I have to look like that
Don't tell me that I have to dress like that
Don't tell me that I have to act like that
No way
Coz I'm alright I'm alright
I got reggae in the morning and I'm alright
I'm alright I'm alright
Can't you see me smiling
I got no degree and I'm alright
"What about your future ?" well I'm alright
I work for His Majesty so I'm alright
I don't fit in with the others so I'm alright
Just the other day, I was walking down the street
I heard somebody say
Man I'd like to meet the Rasta
Then he crossed the street
He walked right up to me
Then he said, let me ask you a question
Who's that man you got there in your picture
Who's that man you keep singing about
Who's that man you got there on your poster
Can you tell me what all the fuss is about
He's the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion from the tribe of Judah
King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion from the tribe of Judah
He's the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion from the tribe of Judah
King of Kings, Lord of Lords, You'd better go tell everyone
Who's that manW
Reggae in the Morning
crown the lion
Zion Way
For a little joy and happiness come Zion way eh
For a little joy and happiness come Zion way eh
For a little joy and happiness come Zion way eh
For a little joy and happiness come Zion way eh
Everybody wants joy (joy in their life)
Everybody needs some happiness
Everybody wants joy (joy in their life)
Most a dem a sick of loneliness
Open your heart and let Jah Jah in
Let all the good times begin
Open your mind and let Jah Jah in
Rastaman sing
Everydody wants truth (truth in their life)
Everybody needs some consciousness
Everydody wants truth (truth in their life)
So why follow the system ?
Babylon system mek you feel sad, sad, sad
girl like dat
Whole heap a girls ina babylon
But most a never last till the end
Special dedication to girls like dat
True and true ina ya heart and ina ya soul
for Rastafari
I never know I'd (get a girl like dat)
I never know I'd (get a girl like dat)
Live clean, works can be seen
Hail up Selassie is a must
I never know I'd (get a girl like dat)
I never know I'd get that queen
But His Majesty knows everything best
Me just do what is right every day
Does she rule, like a queen on a throne
Does she put Jah first, never take his Majesty's name in vain
Is she cool, is she the queen of your home
Does she pray everyday, let Jah lead the way
Is she the best, do you tell her every day
Well she wise, she only do what Jah Jah say
And she follow the scripture, respect her elders
na deal with indulence and vanity
And she smooth, she always knows which words to say
She mek me do what she want
She know what she want
She wanna book her place ina holy Mt Zion
In the beginning, Jah built a Rastaman
Jah built a Rastaman
Jah write it down and then him give it to me
Jah built me irie sensi tree
He was the only one who planted seed and me no want no liar
With the most high Jah we gonna chant down babylon
While the righteous among us are bubbling here on Mt Zion
And if you sit on the fence, the fence a go come
Tumblin down in a babylon
From Genesis to Exodus and Revelation
In every nation there's falsification, one true direction
Jah say Jah say Jah say dont take anything away
For if you are a wicked man, you'll die a wicked man Jah gonna burn you down
But Jah fire still burn
The tree that grow is from the hand that know, I love it so
You must never criticise the truth, Rastaman Knowledge
Only one way to give Jah thanks for his creation
I say you'd better get up, light up, smoke up dont let your ignorance put you down and turn it around
Roots remember your roots have fe grow ina sodom
Roots remember your roots na go thrive in gomorrah
Roots remember your roots when you down ina sodom
Roote remember your roots, coz yesterday is the future
Secular education mek you go blind
and the television really control your mind
Jah Rastafari should be 24/7 ina your heaven
rich man, beggar man, thief, remember your roots
Babylon mek yo go blind
And your day to day activities control your mind
Jah Rastafari should be 24/7 ina your heaven
Hindu, Muslim, Christian remember your roots
I'm crying out
things are getting rough
I'm crying out
things are getting tough (out deh)
Me lock up mi keys ina mi car, then

It really mek me want to scream and shout
To make things worse mi ganja running out

I'm curious (I'm a lion), I'm a serious cat
I get furious (I'm a lion), me no stand fe dat
I'm tough and deadly (I'm a lion), got my ammunition
I'm rough and ready (I'm a lion), move into position
Roam like a lion
Still like a lion
Cool like a lion
Kill like a lion
I'm a lion in the jungle

Coz I'm a lion in the jungle
Always watch my youth
I'm a lion in the jungle
Well what about you
lion in the jungle
mystic thing
I n I rise up to the smell of a daily burning
Some a dem wake up to the bell, it's the slavemaster
calling
9 to 5, what a life
you take the pressure coz you got to survive
Cool your mind, cool your soul, cool a yard I n I get together and
Roll it, Roll it, Roll it
For I no drink dirty water
Jah Rastafari burns in us one and all
I beg you lick it up lick up
Pick up the key to your soul
All around majority corruption, money keeps the truth
well hidden
Creating an illusion, but the vision I see is as clear as
can be
Roll it, Roll it, Roll it
For I no drink dirty water
So let me say this now
What you have is what you have, and if you can't get it
Na fret it, for you don't need it
Jah is my shepherd and I shall never want
So right now me a jus have fe chant it fe let all the people
hear it
So tell me WHO a Jah Jah calling
Hail I HIM, Rastafari
Tell me who a Jah Jah calling
Tell me who a Jah Jah call, nowadays
Tell me who a Jah Jah calling in a my heights
Tell me who a Jah Jah call
In a babylon down down what a revelation
Down in a babylon I hear a voice say come come come so
I try fe do no wrong no wrong
Live up right in a Jah's eyes Natty do no wrong shoop shoop
Humbleness could never be a silent man
Not every man that say Jah
a go be a messenger
Not every man that have dreads
Carry truths inside him head
I know you look a little bit sad
but don't get me down
And if you had a really bad day
don't let me down
You got so many things on your mind
but don't get me down
I need a positive vibration
so don't get me down
(don't get me) Don't get me down
Don't get me down
I need some positivity so don't get me down
(don't get me) Don't get me down
Don't get me down
I am a cool Rastaman so don't get me down
You got up on the wrong side of bed
but don't get me down
You're stuck in your 9 to 5
so don't let me down
You need a little more out of life
but don't get me down
I need a positive vibration
so don't get me down
(don't get me) Don't get me down
Don't get me down
I need some positivity so don't get me down
(don't get me) Don't get me down
Don't get me down
I am a cool Rastaman so don't get me down
