Johnny Was

(Bob Marley)

The unity must have to start now

Because I mean, how long would we have to suffer?

Let us learn these things that we must be united

(Guru)

That's right

Truly, we're involved in a struggle

So what we go'n do?

We gotta make it right for our people

For our forefathers and mothers

That's right (must be united)

For the seeds (must be united)

Spiritual warriers (must be united)

(Bob Marley)

Woman hold her head and cried

Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died

>From a stray bullet

Woman hold her head and cried

Explaining to her was a passer by who

Saw the woman cry

Wondering

How can she work it out (how can she work it out)

Now she knows not the wager of turning them

Her gift of love is life

She cried

(Chorus) (singing girls)

Oh ummm how

Johnny was a good man

How

Johnny was a good good good good good good good

Good good good good good good man

Johnny was a good man

She cried

She cried

(Guru)

Any attempt to change my stance son, would be futile

Ma, things for you would never get easier ooooow child

Supreme the colour scheme

Why brothers die with dirty cream

They avoid their dreams

But they obtained by worthy beings

Homicide statistics, obituary colums

Numerous things listed

Different violent types of behaviour depicted

They murdered my bredren

He was a good man

Protected his fam, we all respected this man

Still his life got held up like liquor stores

Or old school jams

What goes around re-surfaces

Now is it worth it kid?

Do you really wanna get out the game?

I know you nervous kid

Hot and caught up

Like my boy Bokeem in the flick

Plus we know reality is much more worse and much more sick

Your cerebral eye probe vocals, can't touch your ear-lobes

Destroyin all microbes

The ill dynamic psycho

Analyst, so understand it this

Beautiful world as we know it, is definately at risk

Righteous soldiers professed to be triumphant at battle

Loud cries from the cell, many cages rattle

Fire radiates heat, ice radiates cold

I radiate thoughts and ideas all things wit in my control

Some men travel down twisted roads

And innocent lives get lost

May Ja, bless his soul

(Bob Marley [singing girls])

Johnny was a good man

How

Never did a thing wrong

How

Johnny was a good man

Kinda woman's tender care, keep cryin

These two was the child she bare

Oh, a woman's tender care

Seem to all the child she bare

Woman cry just like I am there

(Guru)

Word is bond he was a good man

So is my man BIG

Rest in peace BIG

So is my man Pac'

Rest in peace Pac' (Rest in peace Pac)

So was so many other brothers

Too numerous to mention (To numerous to mention)

Time is now (Time is now)

For us to fight for what is ours, rightfully

As was prophisised from the beginging

So shall it be (So shall it be)
