1.	My Time To Shine 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Woke up this morning Gave thanks for the sun Another day has begun Opened the window for the breeze Bird songs greeted I Sips of my favorite brew Clock don’t stop so it’s time to go Got to hit the pavement to be paid There is a will to win the time is now to grow A my time to shine A my time to shine A my time to shine am about to blow A my time to shine A my time to shine A my time to shine am a gonna be like the sun So hard not to consider who violated I You are of no value needless you try In all honest that’s why Forgiveness is so hard to come by never mind A my time to shine A my time to shine A my time to shine am about to blow A my time to shine A my time to shine A my time to shine am a gonna be like the sun In this mind of mine I have a good feeling Changes is needed so I must make positive moves Focus on me own foot Nuh worry bout the next man shoes Nuh Day A my time to shine A my time to shine A my time to shine am about to blow A my time to shine A my time to shine A my time to shine am a gonna be like the sun
2.	Solid Love 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Victims cry while perpetrators celebrate Change will come when one man can teach the other Look deep into me emotion You will see I am brother’s keeper This is my recommendation Give love unexpectedly every little counts Solid love solid love Love among the common people Solid love solid love Love for the common children To the favela of Rio de Janeiro The shanties of Lagos Nigeria Garrisons of Kingston town To the core of the New York proper No empty plates at the table Display love on a platter I have a bottle bring me your cup I’ll fill it up to the top Solid love solid love Tougher than stone Stronger than iron Solid love solid love Love among the common people Love among the common children The whole world over Take the time to show you care You’ve got love and enough to share Give a little here and a little there Yes yes yes yes unconditional love Tougher than stone Yes
3.	Pooky's Hammer 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Keepers of the light come and We don’t have to roll thunder and flash lightening The hammers small but tough enough to break the wall Brick by brick and chip by chip we’ll tear it down We need a point of reference cause we bring the sound Rasta pickney come to warn the town Carriers of the light To loom common children’s life Bit by bit and step by step we’re coming forth With words of love and signs of peace within our hearts We take the time to do things right just because Our calling is our mission we’ll keep pressing on Carriers of the light To loom common child’s life Telling them Have faith in Jah Give thanks and praise Live long and learn His name He’s worthy to be praised He’s the key to salvation Destined to come again whoo ohoh How long till we greet the Redeemer Prophecies to be fulfilled Truth to be revealed Take heed to the warnings told Now we’re here to start a flame to cleanse the soul Of those in captive all confused and left to drown We take the time to spread Jah message all around Rasta love is free for everyone Carriers of the light To loom common children’s life Telling them Have faith in Jah Give thanks and praise Live long and learn his name He’s worthy to be praised Ain’t no way you should ever go astray when you listen to the music whe di Rasta man a play love Jah love Jah eh eh eh eh eh We warning all the youth inna day and night lean to di love and nuh badder wid nuh fight love Jah Love Jah eh eh eh

Oh I wish that you were around So I’m begging you to pray for me Mama it’s your pain that brought me to life It’s your struggles I reference All the time when I need to hold a vibe More times than not The belly doesn’t get what it needs Be assured I’ve learned to sacrifice today So I may feast another day Promises words of comfort fools They told I that the streets were paved in gold Lies Every step mi take mi foot bottom meets concrete Mama can’t find a place to plant nuh seeds Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Oh your son needs your guidance Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Oh I need your prayers Traversed in nooks and carnies of these concrete jungle Encountered various creatures of all different colors all different faces all different race Some are so mean neva wudda offer little food Some are so mean the ones a top are awfully rude These are stormy times but I’m holding on It’s your courage I look to mom when I need to be brave and strong Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Oh your child need your blessings Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Mama pray for me Oh I need your prayers When you kneel beside your bed at night oh mama pray for me As you give thanks for the rising sun oh mama pray for me And when you pray to break your fast oh mama pray for me When you bless the dinner table please remember Always pray for me Always pray for me Always pray for me Always pray for me

6.	Youths Of Today 03:24	lyrics
Mind inna heights deserving of a crown No funny business when I come around Youth focus on your life always keep it straight Deep thoughts before you participate yes Woo oh oh oh Yeah eh eh eh Yeah eh eh eh Yoo oh oh oh One day a hero next, he is knee deep in shit Hero turn zero check the stories of the crucifix Pitfalls are everywhere hypocrites inna friends clothing Hunger distorts loyalty crack the shell in front of dem grin eh Youths of today seek directions to your roots Rise from the slumber value life and live in truth Woo oh oh oh Yeah eh eh eh No one is immune to poverty The whole world is a ghetto Be the light in the dark situations Be the first to say harmony Time is the true master Be confident it will be alright Initiate conversation When Babylon say gun fight Youths of today seek directions to your roots Rise from the slumber value life and live in truth Woo oh oh oh Yeah eh eh eh Can you hear me when I say Be conscious of tafari in time and space Always calculate with whom you congregate Find thy roots and nourish thy self Neva ever sell out for wealth No oh oh oh oh oh oh Youths of today seek directions to your roots Rise from the slumber value life and live in truth Woo oh oh oh Yeah eh eh eh
7.	Free Free Free 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Everyone is feeling something It’s the most common feeling in the land Deep hunger that says feed me The liberty the melody of every song Every lord and every lady Every peasant every creature in the fields Sure as the sunrise, liberty is all that we seek Freedom to laugh Freedom to play Freedom to draw medication from the trees Free to create Free to not hate Freedom to have faith Free free free free free Everyone should be free Free free free free free Everyone wants to be free Now you know the feeling Tell me what you gonna do Are you gonna stop dreaming? Wake up son, so many battles to be won Freedom to till the soil Freedom to plant seeds Freedom to watch them grow We must come together now To harvest what we’ve sown Free free free free free Everyone should be free Free free free free free Everyone wants to be free Free free free free free Everyone should be free Free free free free free Don’t you want to be free Lift your voice and sing
