Piece Of The Pie - Jimmy Cliff

The lion is awake and ready for his jungle
What is the jungle
Equal rights and justice
And if he doesn't get it
He's gon' to take it any way and anyhow
So you better give up
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
They run our fathers up their pole
And try to take their soul
We realize we know the score
So don't try that no more
No tricks, no traps, no lies, no gripes
Can't hold us anymore
We've had enough of jive and bluff
We want our share for sure
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
A hungry man is a angry man
I hope you understand
Because a hand to mouth won't work it out
Of this there is no doubt
We want our share, we have no fear
So you better beware
'Cause a hungry mouth is a angry mouth
Worse without a job, hey
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now, hey
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie (A seh a seh a seh a so a seh)
Right here, right now (A seh a seh a so oh)
Bom dee long dong bom bong bom da ding dong
Bom la bom bom bom bom dey
Rom bom bom bom ding dong a ring rong a free mon
Bom bom bom bom dey hey
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
There's one thing we'd like to know
Where does the money go
'Cause some got it, and some drop it
Well, someone ought to know
This life as living to offer
To every single one
Birds and bees, no woods and trees
There is no existence, hey
We want our piece of the pie, hey
Right now, right here
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now, hey
Bom dee long dong bom bong bom da ding dong
Bom la bom bom bom bom dey
Da diddle ling ding dong, da diddle ling ding dong
Da dong dong hey
Hey
♬~
Hey we want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now,
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now, hey
We want our piece of the pie (A seh a seh a seh a so a seh)
Right here, right now (A seh a seh a so oh)
We want our piece of the pie (A seh a seh a seh a so a seh)
Right here, right now (A seh a seh a so oh oh so)
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now
We want our piece of the pie
Right here, right now

American Dream - Jimmy Cliff

Oh yeah the American dream,
American dream
The American dream

So you want to get American visa
To go where they say the living is easier
Since you were young you been told
You can get anything there
But the soul

Freedom and prosperity for all
Equal opportunity stalk all
But words without deeds
Is like a gold wind full of breeze
So you better take heed

So you better beware
And you better take care
Cause you just might be there for a nightmare

Oh yeah the American dream
American dream
The American dream
Oh yeah the American dream
The American dream
Is not what it seems

And so it's better to seek a home
In Mount Zion I than in Rome
Cause when your lake be get dry
A lot of people go comply
Some might even die

And so is Africa for Africans
India for Indians
China for the Chinese ones
Europe for the Europeans

And now you understand
I hope you find your Land
Because a dream is not reality

Oh yeah the American dream
American dream
The American dream
Oh yeah the American dream
The American dream
Is not what it seems

Yeah
For some it means the power and the glory
And still for some a super vision story
Still for some an illusion filled with confusion
And illusion notions

I know for some it means a man's ambition
Or the memory of organisation
For when the big operations
Take you in litigation you need protection
From most High Jah Rastafari

So you better beware
And you better take care
Cause you just might be there for a nightmare

Oh yeah the American dream
American dream
The American dream
Oh yeah the American dream
The American dream
The American dream
Oh yeah
(talked)
Why do you slumber
From January to December
Dream will only last while you sleep
Yeah, don't looking' for it there

Oh yeah the American dream
American dream
The American dream

Journey - Jimmy Cliff

Well the years have come and the years have gone
Still the son of man keeps a trotting on
Journey, Journey on
Yet from innocence to experience
from dependence to independence
Journey, Journey on
Well now I have love and I have been loved
I have judged and I have been judged
Journey, Journey on
So where there come a storm there's a victory
Cause I live all and all lives in me
Journey, Journey on

Journey, Oh Journey
and I never get, never get,
never get weary yet
Journey, Oh Journey
still I never get, never get,
never get weary yet

I was captured on the banks of the river Nile
carried far beyond the seven seas
Journey, Journey on
So I left my home in the morning
I wanna go home in the evening
Journey, Journey on

Journey, Oh Journey
and I never get, never get,
never get weary yet
Journey, Oh Journey
still I never get, never get,
never get weary yet

Like the sun and sea life is flowing free
I've got to be free 1983
Journey, Journey on
So from the lessons learned and the tables turned
the victories earned and my heart still yearns
Journey, Journey on

Journey, Oh Journey
and I never get, never get,
never get weary yet
Journey, Oh Journey
still I never get, never get,
never get weary yet

Yeah.. Oh..
Journey of life
No one never, no one never, never never...
Oh I will never...

And you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman

Sometimes we have to fight
But that don't hinder us
From making it alright
You see, love is our foundation
Ever since creation
And funny as it seems
Nothing can come between
And I'm talking 'bout the
Roots woman, roots woman
