Lay me Down - Sublime with Rome

lyrics to Lay Me Down / Dirty Heads

G Am
Em B

Ho oh whoa ho ho no oh
hoo ooh oh
oh oh ooh

well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
on the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
six guns by the side and bullets 'round their waist
two shots to the sky signal sign for the chase.
the safe is nearly empty and they were nearly free
but were seen by the good eye of the mean Billy Green
and he screamed at the top of his lungs "they're on the run"
It's the two outsiders grab your horses and your guns

i said i wish that we could stay here
but i fear our time is come
we could ride out in the darkness
chasing the rising sun
we gotta pack our bags this instant
we're headin' southbound til the next town
and if we arrive there so safely
baby you could lay me down
lay me down
lay me down
lay me down

well its the story of the two, always on the move
they got nothing left to lose 'cept their guns and their wounds
now they're crossing borders sheriff's posse on their tail
they'd rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
they drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night
like it could be the last, the bounty said to 'shoot on sight'
they're chasing in the summer, knew it came with a price
They wouldn't stop running til they found a paradise
but the sheriff finally found them with his eyes seeing red
so the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
they were finally free to find a place to lay their head
and when he finally did he looked at her and he said

i said i think that we can stay here
cuz i feel our time has come
and we can walk down to the ocean
and sit with the rising sun
so unpack your bags this instant
no more running from town to town
and now that we've arrived so safely
baby you can lay me down

lay me down
lay me down
lay me down

well you're my green eyed girl and i been running around with you
its the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
so wipe the dirt off or take your shirt off
and we should go hit the cantina; we got work off

i said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes
we been running for awhile why don't you lay down make me smile
i could never ask for nothing better than this
it's just tequila and the beach, thats why its salty when we kiss

i said i think that we can stay here
cuz i feel our time has come
and we can walk down to the ocean
and sit with the rising sun
so unpack your bags this instant
no more running from town to town
and now that we've arrived so safely
baby you can lay me down

lay me down
lay me down no oh
lay me down
lay me down

Gentleman - Rainy Days

Rainy days dem gone
It's over now it's over now
Through those raging storm
We cover now we cover now
Rainy days dem gone
It's over now, it's over now
Wicked man dem hafi calm
Run for cover now for cover now

Verse martin jondo:

Now i am rising
And smiling
Leaving
And jammin'
Breaking
The shackles around my neck
Now I know how to trust in the sweet love
No I got the keys to the door oh lord
And jah jah sweet light is shining in my heart

verse gentleman:

I remember how we used to sit
Down worry ‘bout life
But true we confident
We never ever give up the fight
The music with the blessing
And jah show we the light
Hafi mek dem seh we move upright
Watch deh clear the way
And mek we buss weh like tide
Babylon dem try fi track we tek the next flight
A who dem try fi diss me wonder
Who dem try fi fight

chorus

Verse tamika:

I've got to get myself together now
Forgetting the past it's all ‘bout the here and now
now I know I could make it if I try
And jah never let my perseverance die
‘cause I want to give my all and all

verse gentleman:

chant some redemption and give jah jah the praise
babylon your time is done and not to mention your days
light up the fire now you can't stop the blaze
revolutionary mood dem can't tek ina the place
you can't pollute me and you can't change me ways
think she man a sleep a you think man a gaze
I a sit down and a study fi survive the next phase
She say and he say and we

Trever Hall - Limetree

Intro C / G / Am x2
C G
I spark a match and watch the candle burn
Am
The wick runs out and then love takes its turn
C G
On fallen angels and broken sounds
Am
We will last past the final round
C G
It took a while for you to find me
Am
But I was hiding in the lime tree
C G
Above the city in the rain cloud
Am
I poked a hole and watched it drain out
C G
Parallel to the city streets
Am
Our broken crowns beneath our feet
C G
But as we walk across the diamonds
Am
We know that love is always shining
C G
So save me love save me all the time
Am
I’ll wash you down with a simple sip of wine
C G
And toast my glass to all my loved ones
Am
To let them know that the stars well they still shine
C G
It took a while for you to find me
Am
But I was hiding in the lime tree
C G
Above the city in the rain cloud
Am
I poked a hole and watched it drain out

A Pity.. Tanya Stephens

Am G

I said if we never get a chance to be together
go with Jah, Tanya loves ya, wha me seh?

Hook
It's a pity you already have a wife
and me don't have a man inna mi life
rudeboy it's such a pity
I say it is such a pity you already have yuh wife
And me have a one man inna mi life
rudeboy it is a pity, mm mm mm

Verse 1
I woulda like one of these mornings to wake up and find
your face on a pillow lying right next to mine
I woulda cut out the partying the smoking and the rum
and buss a extra wine and make we seal up a son
well everytime i fantasize me see your lips me see your eyes
Your trigger finger do something that lef the rudegirl hypnotized
For you it's just a thing, just another little fling
But for me this is Heaven and the angel them a sing

(Repeat hook)

Verse 2
Fi buck you up inna public and cant even touch
It really fuck me up because me check fi you so much
The respect weh mi have fi your woman fi your kids
believe me rudeboy mi criss, I know matey this
who knows? maybe one day the world will be evolved enough
we'll share you in a civilized manner between the two of us
But until then I woulda love see you again,
Me know we have fi play it by the stupid rules of sin

(repeat intro)

Verse 3

So meet me round the corner, avoid Mitzy and Lorna
You know them a two of the biggest informer
I'm not starving for sex no, nah bawl out vex no
but the way how yuh flex really peak my interest yo
ayou weh people see a no the you a me loving
And the you weh deh with me go much deeper than skin
I dont know exactly what it is you're feeling
But I wish this was a permanent thing yo...

(repeat hook)

Verse 4

Me know seh you belong to she, you know seh me belong to him
Me wouldn't want you dis your queen, me woulda never dis mi king
But when yuh play pon mi riddim and when me feel your base a swing
You lef me inna turmoil, you have me head a spin
It really mek me sad fi haffi waste so much water,
I think the two o' we can mek a beautiful daughter
but it would be selfish to an innocent little youth
Fi bring her come and cannot tell her the truth
We have fi tell her the truth

Damian Marley - Patience

Some of the smartest dummies
Can’t read the language of Egyptian mummies
An’ a fly go a moon
And can’t find food for the starving tummies
Pay no mind to the youths
Cause it’s not like the future depends on it
But save the animals in the zoo
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
This is how the media pillages
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientist still can’t explain the pyramids, huh
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids
Stereotyping the image of the images
And this is what the image is
You buy a khaki pants
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
An’ a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzis I’ve ever seen and I ever known
Put the worst on display so the world can see
And that’s all they will ever show
So the ones in the west
Will never move east
And feel like they could be at home
Dem get tricked by the beast
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?
Solomonic linage whe dem still can’t defeat and them coulda never clone
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever Own Lord
[Hook]
[Nas talking]
Yeah, Sabali. Thats patience. That’s what the old folks told me…
Discovering the World before this World. A World buried in time.
Uncover with rhymes. It gets no realer.
[Damian Marley: Verse 2]
Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?
We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?
Can you read thoughts? can you read palms?
Huh, can you predict the future? can you see storms, coming?
The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off
Now the Earth is round if the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh
The average man can’t prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of
And still won’t research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of
Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they’re smart and cunning
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that’s when their nose start running
And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut
Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wed mud
Can you read signs? can you read stars?
Can you make peace? can you fight war?
Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars? huh
Can you survive, Against All Odds, Now?
[Hook]
[Nas]
It’s crazy when you feed people the truth you don’t know how they’re gonna react. You’re scared of wrong doers, people that just ignorant, You’re scared of the truth, be patient for now.
[Nas: Verse 3]
Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur’an?
And was it a lightning storm
That gave birth to the Earth
And then dinosaurs were born? damn
Who made up words? who made up numbers?
And what kind of spell is mankind under?
Everything on the planet we preserve and can it
Microwaved it and try it
No matter what we’ll survive it
What’s hue? what’s man? what’s human?
Anything along the land we consuming
Eatin’, deletin’, ruin
Trying to get paper
Gotta have land, gotta have acres
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
Watch n-ggas play the game like the lakers
In a world full of 52 fakers
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
You superstitious? throw salt over your shoulders
Make a wish for the day cuz
Like somebody got a doll of me
Stickin’ needles in my arteries
But I can’t feel it
Sometimes it’s like ‘pardon me, but I got a real big spirit’
I’m fearless…. I’m fearless
Don’t you try and grab hold of my soul
It’s like a military soldier since seven years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms
Felt their body turn cold, oh
Why we born in the first place
If this is how we gotta go?
Damn.
