I picked up the Drop Leaf Riddim CD at the airport on my way out... my favorite song of the vacation was Footprints by TOK, but the rest of the CD is awesome too....
Footprints is a great song, it's very sad, but catchy.....

hurry up and come back
was the last thing she said to her so-on....
the day his live was over
she didn't know he wouldn't come back-
he died from the bullet of a gun...
and now her little boy is gone.

she said - help me..
Lord Help me
And she looked up to the sky,
and heard the voice reply-y-y

When you cry , I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile..
I smile along with you...


Dang I love that song!
I'd share it, but we all know I dont' have the internet at my house and only access at school...

Yeah, the TOK one is a good chune....

but my favourite pan dis riddim is mos def Luciano - For The Leaders.

Great melody, great voice, great words. And it gets BIG ups in the club.

This is my appeal
To all your leaders out there, to stop the war.
Cuz theres no justifiable reason
It's about time..that you realize...that your not fulfilling your true purpose

[Chorus]
This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
All over..the world
This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
All over..the world

[Verse 1]
Think about the yutes, who are dyng out, (dying out)
Crying out (crying out) for love.
Victims of the system, we divide and grow
To break us down, & tear us apart
What is the future of the human race
How will the children grow to take our place
Where is the love that we should all embrace
I do believe it's here, for you and me

[Chorus]
This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
All over..the world
This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
All over..the world

[Verse 2]
Thiiiiis one..is for, the leaders who are fighting war..
All over the wooorld
Imagine all the money, that you spend on arms
Guns and bombs, to destroy
While people are left hungry, to die from wants
And those who do survive are unemployed
What is the future of the human race
How will the children grow to take our place
Where is the love that we should all embrace
I do believe, it here for you and me

[Chorus]
This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
All over..the world
This one's for the leaders, who are fighting war.
All over..the world

[Outro]
This one..This one...(for the children)...This one
Thiiiiiiss oooooooonnnnnneee, This one for the, This one for the
This one for the leaders
This one, this one is for the leaders...

FOOTPRINTs-TOK

[Intro]
One set of footprints, inna di sand
And you a grumble, and a screw
You think shoulda be two
Memba one ting my yute, fadda God have him plan
So when you see one set a footprints a God a carry you

[Verse 1]
Hurry up and come back, was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken.
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet of a gun,
And now her little boy is gone.

[Chorus]
She said, help me, Lord help me
Then she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you

[Verse 2]
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was 2
So the street side kids, and the shopping mall was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless
Sometimes you haffi do wha you haffi do,
And he didn't have a Mom or Dad, to help him get through

[Chorus]
He said, help me, Father help me
Then he looked up to the sky
And he heard a voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you

[Verse 3]
It was early sunday morning
Mi get up a watch the news
Den me hear sey last night a Seaview dem killa yute
Den momma tell me sey her church sister Jacqueline..
Just lose har brodda over Seaview Garden
When she tell me, Jah Jah know it, mash me up, nah tell no lie
But you know sey man a t'uggy, so you nah go see me cry
Everyday and everynight she still a ask the fadda why...
Har brotha had to die, she heard a voice reply

[Chorus]
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile a long with you

Bestfriends - Morgan Hertitage

[Intro]
Girl..
Sometimes, A woman's gonna trust her friend..
More than she trust her man (Tell me whyyyy)
And its so sad, when a bestfriend
Turns out to be a deceiver

[Verse 1]
My phone rang about 3 o'clock in the morning
And i thought it was you
It was your bestfriend
Said she was lonely
And asked me if she could come over
She said it would be our secret
But i couldn't live with, what made it worse she's your....

[Chorus]
Bestfriend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed
Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did I wouldn't be better than your --
Friend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed
Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did i wouldnt be better than your friend

[Verse 2]
So many times you've said you cant trust me
So many times you think I was lying
But this is just how it happened
Take a look in your life, an analyze the friend that you keeping
And how she want to be creeping....with your man
It's so sad, she's your....

[Chorus]
Bestfriend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed

Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did i wouldnt be better than your friend

[Bridge]
Your friend, your best friend
Wouldnt be better than your friend
Wouldnt be better, Wouldnt be better than your friend
Your best friend, wouldnt be better than your friend
Oh no, no no no no no no no no no no

[Verse 3]
Now baby love just listen to me
I hate to be the one to tell you that your best friend tryna get wit me
Talk about making access easy, I couldnt do wrong, to make you turn around and hate me
But everyday, I hear my cellphone ringing, check my voicemail, and it's your girlfriend calling
Telling me she got my number from you, I ain't lying
Tell me baby love, is this true, whats the reason
Why she keep telling me, my style she be feeling
Why she keep telling me, that she don't mind creeping
Why she keep telling me, my bed she wanna sleep in
Baby love, I don't mean to drop a dime on you friend
But..she make it easy, I dont know what to do
But baby girl, I know that I do love you
I would never jeopardize all the things we been through
That why I keeps it real with you

[Chorus]
This is bout your Bestfriend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed
Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did I wouldn't be better than your --
Friend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed
Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did i wouldnt be better than your --
Friend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed
Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did i wouldnt be better than your --
Friend, who became my friend, and behind your back she tried to get in my bed
Baby I admit, I didnt hit it, Cuz if i did i wouldnt be better than your Friend

She's nothing but a deceiver
Tell me, Tell me baby
How could you trust her
How in the world could you trust her
Oh no no no no no
I didnt do nothinh wrong, nothing wrong
No i didnt, no i didnt, no i didnt
