LOL....I wanted to start this thread because I'm infatuated with a couple of political/social reggae songs right now. The lyrics to these songs get me emotional, angry, and happy at the same time that someone wrote a freakin song about it.

As Far As it Can Go by Turbulence....looooooooooooooooove this one.

How Come by Morgan Heritage.
