Re: best conscious / culture songs
Bob Marley is number one for me in this conscious lyrics category....
Who the Cap Fit Man to man is so unjust, children You don't know who to trust Your worst enemy could be your best friend And your best friend your worst enemy Some will eat and drink with you Then behind them su-su 'pon you Only your friend know your secrets So only he could reveal it And who the cap fit, let them wear it (repeat) Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl I saying, "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck" Some will hate you, pretend they love you now Then behind they try to eliminate you But who JAH bless, no one curse Thank God we're past the worse Hypocrites and parasites Will come up and take a bite And if your night should turn to day A lot of people would run away And who the cap fit let them wear it (repeat) And then a gonna throw me corn And then a gonna call no fowl And then a gonna "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck" Some will eat and drink with you And then behind them su-su 'pon you And if your night should turn to day A lot of people will run away Who the cap fit, let them wear it (repeat) Throw me corn, me no call no fowl I saying "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Re: best conscious / culture songs
Aswad
Ways Of the Lord The ways of the Lord are straight and narrow But the ways of the world are far and wide In dispensation the right thing is so hard to do now While wickedness is all around So what's the use of all the fuss and fight What about the basic human rights There's enough for one and all Living the ways of the Lord every day and night If we lived together this life would be much better If we loved one another we all could be so free The life we live, the way we handle ourselves Remember Lucifer is around So what's the use of all the fuss and fight What about the basic human rights That's enough for one and all Living the ways of the Lord every day and night The poor baby's hungry, no food can they find Mother is going out of her mind Father has upped and gone away He has fallen into crime The poor baby's hungry, no food can they find Mother is going, mother is going out of her mind

Destiny The rich man's wealth is in the city Destruction of the poor is his poverty Destruction of your soul is vanity Do you hear I and I, I wanna rule my destiny I and I, I wanna rule my destiny Destiny, mama look from when you call me Destiny, mama look from when you calling I wanna rule my destiny yeah, yeah oh help I please Jah Jah mek mi rule I've been blessed I've been touch I love Jah so much They keep fighting me I'm not giving up May the realms of Zion fill my spiritual cup Wisdom overstanding can never be too much Give I protection Day and night Cast away their cords from us you have them in the region in the valley of decision Restraining the heathen with a rod of iron you know not the destiny of a next man Why hold him set him free too long My destination is homeward bound Though force try to hold I down Breaking chains has become the norm I know I must get through no matter what a gwaan

Marcus Mosiah Listen Mr. B Marcus tell I Black starliner gonna carry us home I know it's true What will you do you don't wanna be left alone I've been waiting watching from the distant shore At every passing vessel my teardrops flow Could it be in my direction it goes Beaulah land beckons trod home trod home The sweetest things are there to be found The golden sunshine The wind blows around The fresh vegetation which comes from the earth Oh Mama Africa you make me know what life is worth
