chronixx - christina

Hey you kids down there, throw your hands in the air

Christine
Look what late nights did in the studio did for me
My stupid songs all paid off eventually
So sad you couldn't see this was my destiny
Maybe if you were there in the studio next to me
Then you would seethis is what makes me happy
Instead you look at me like boy you're fast asleep (Nah, girl)

Oh Christina
I still believe in me and I'm a dreamer
But now I'm walking in my dreams
Oh yeah, Christine
Tell me who you see when you turn on your Tv

Christine
I'm no star and awards nuh mean shit to me
All this time it was not about the money
And listen me honey, I'm where I'm supposed to be, (ah yeah)
Wouldn't it be sweet
If I had gone to that old university
Dispose my verses and versatility
Exchange it for a life in working class society
Nah, girl

Oh dear Christina
I still believe in me and I'm a dreamer
But now I'm walking in my dreams
Oh yeah, Christine
Tell me who you see when you turn on your Tv, girl (yeah)

Now listen up young ones and listen up young folks
Don't take talent and your dream for no joke
And a nuff roads to choose so choose the right road
Make the wrong turn and when you grow old
That will come back to haunt you
Tell it to you mother and your father and your aunt too
Tell them you can be anything that you want to
Any love a nuh love if fi your dreams nuh really want you
Mi granny tell me say nuh follow nobody
Chronicle tell me say nuh follow nobody

And don't go follow no other people pickney

Oh dear Christina

But now I'm walking in my dreams
Dream long and dream on

chronixx - ghetto paradise

You living the life in the ghetto paradise
You living that life in the ghetto paradise

Mi nuh know how mi survive the hardship weh in ya

Two party ah flex like a party dem inna
Accepting presents from foreign government
Weh still ah fool dem and a school dem and a khaki dem in
Good God of Moses and Rodney the Killer
Poor people fed up and we can't sim simmer
Can hardly survive as a blasted singer
Much less a baller who is a rahtid winger
Have a right foot like a David Villa
Him mother still ah sell inna market
Jamrock is a precious stone still it's far from a diamond, take it from I man

Even though Jamaica nice
You gotta live to save your life
After the sunset comes the darkness of the night
Better open up your eyes
You've gotta read between the lines
Living in the ghetto paradise

Jamaica spiritually irie
Pretty and it nice
Still a ghetto paradise and mi nah apologise
It Slippery and it slidey
Di government ah lie
Dem trick we and dem buy we
Di chicken and di fries
Spend a little of your time
You giggle and you smile
But even if you try
You couldn't live some ah we life
Riverton ah bun, di likkle pickney dem a cry
Di chubby bottle dem ah pile up on the river side
And den you talk how Jamaica sweet
Wah sweet you will rotten your teeth
And in the streets it nuh nice and easy
Shot a beat, ghetto youths can't sleep
And then you talk how Jamaica nice
You say you living in a paradise
Poverty whistle like a Christmas breeze, yeah
You better take my foolish advice

Even though Jamaica nice
You gotta live to save your life
After the sunset comes the darkness of the night
You better open up your eyes
And read between the lines
When you're living in the ghetto paradise

Survival
Only the fittest
Shall make it out of this jungle alive
Survival
Jah is my witness
The darkest hours of the night is just before daylight

Even though Jamaica nice
You gotta live to save your life
After the sunset comes the darkness of the night
You better open up your eyes
Gotta read between the lines
When you're living in the ghetto paradise

Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise

chronixx - i know love

In the beginning
According to the old book say
There was nothing
Then the great spirit came down
And said it, let there be
And there was
That's how it all began, yeah
Yet still we ask
Where did the universe come from?
Everything in existence
From the sky to the depths of the ocean
Every shape, every colour, every pigment
Every sound and every vibration
This old earth, the solar system
Everything you hold so sacred
By the hands of lord we were [?] created

And I know love
Lifted me
And I know Jah Jah, yeah
Set me free
Love break the chains, yes
Set the captives free
Love break the chains
Set the captives free

Wa da da da da da da da

So if there was nothing
Whose voice it was that said let there be light?
Who separated the day from the night?
Created me, created you?
I believe it was love, oh yes
Still we want to know
Where did the universe come from?
Everything in existence
All yuh temples, yuh mosque and yuh churches
All the saints and the gods that we worship
The holiest of writings
The thunder and the lightning
Everything you hold so sacred
By the hands it flowed, it was created

So I know love, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lifted me
And I know Jah Jah, yeah yeah
Set me free
Love breaks the chains
Love breaks the chains
Set the captives free, yes
Love breaks the chains
Set the captives free

Call it what you may
L-O-V-E can be found in you (can be found in you)
And its all over me
Jah is love no matter the name
It's one and the same

Dance

chronixx - legend

Some things are just never said, no
OOh ooh ooh
Woah woah, yeah

Story of my life
Ordinary person just like you
If you take a look inside
You'll see the great things that people do
Changing lives day and night
But nothing I do ever makes the news
Still I have to do what's right
To the King of all kings, all praise is due

Yesterday I was on a train
A little boy asked me my name
He said "Sir, I've seen you before, tell me who are you"?

Said I am a legend that you never heard of before
I said I am a lion but you never heard me roar
I am a hero that nobody celebrates
But if one person remembers my name
That means I made a change

I'm the man who cooks the food and feed the street people in the afternoon
I'm the lady with the broom sweeping the halls of your sons pre-school
I'm the soldier who's up all night, making sure everything's alright
And if you ask me I'm quite fine, being a ordinary person doing what's right

Yesterday at the football game
A little girl asked me my name
She said "Sir, I've seen you before, tell me who are you? "

Said I am a legend that you never heard of before
Said I am a lion but you never heard me roar
I am a hero that nobody celebrates
But if one person remembers my name, that means

I'm the ocean of fame
I'm an unknown sailor
I'm the percussionist playing with the Wailers
The one with the shaker, the mover and shaker
My name wasn't on the front of the paper
But mi nuh care cah
Much more than the work cah the work is greater
Creation glorifies Creator
So all deeds done are in the name of my Maker

I am a legend that you probably never hear about
Words from the lion's mouth
I am a hero that nobody celebrates
But if one person remembers my name
Give praise, that means I made a change

(Legend, legend)
(I am a legend)
(Legend, legend)
(I am a legend)
(Legend, legend)
(I am a legend)

Story of my life
Ordinary person just like you
If you take a look inside
You'll see the great things that people do
We out here changing lives day and night, day in day out
Bbc don't show it
Cnn don't show it
Ease out

Before I hold you in my arms (hold you close, in my arms)

Eh! You are my queen (majesty)
Don't you know, you are my queen (majesty)

Before I hold you close (just before, I hold you close)
Oh girl I wanna let you know (girl I wanna, let you know)

chronixx - selassie children

Been laughed at, scrutinised
To the point where I had to ask who am I
Then I remember what they do to Christ
He was nailed to a cross and crucified
Now that the light came to me
I wonder if they're gonna do the same to me
And when the truth hits painfully
That's when you know if you're really who you claim to be

For so long we've been denied
Rejected and brutalised
But jah children shall win the war
Cos we know who we are

We're selassie I children
Haile selassie children
We are Ethiopians by blood
Africa was born in us, selassie children
Haile selassie children

We know who we are

Young boy threw away his comb
So his papa told him find a different home
Never come back, hold your own
Bout you're a Rasta, I wish I never know you
Rejected for the life he choose
Cast out, all alone
The stone that the builder man refused
Shall be the head cornerstone

Soon they will realise
That we've been reading between the lines
Remember we foretold the war
You never forget who we are

Tell them, we're selassie children
Haile selassie children
We are Ethiopians by blood
Africa was born in us

Young girl gotta face the worst
Cos her mother just took a look in her purse
She find a clay kutchie and some holy herbs
And the wise mind of haile I the first
Mama say young girl you're losing your mind
Did you get these things from Satan
She say no mama I got the kutchie from jah9
And the wise mind from I nation

Please mama, don't scrutinise
Take this book and give it a try
Let this herb open up your eyes
Experience the wonders of Rastafari

Haile selassie children
We are haile selassie children
We are Ethiopians by blood
Africa was born in us
Haile selassie children

The battle will be hard
Haile selassie children
Still we never stall
Selassie children
Deh ya back a wall
Haile selassie children
Still di Natty never fall
Haile selassie children
Oh coral garden
Selassie children
Look at pinnacle
Selassie children
Still we deh ya now
Selassie children
Never giving up
Selassie children
Take no heart Gil pain
Selassie children
Fight the fights in vain
Selassie children
Even if the battle stains

chronixx - tell me now

Give thanks to Rastafari
See another day
Thanks to Rastafari

Life too short we haffi cherish it
The race haffi run, we haffi finish it
But before me leave off of this pilgrimage
Mi haffi tell you say mi love you

I know you're smiling with me from afar
I was glad I could let you know
Tell you I love you before you go

If you love me

Tell you say mi love you (tell you say mi love you)
Tell you say mi love you (tell you say mi love you)

Haffi live because mi likkle bredda fast asleep
Couldn't stay inna di church when di pastor preach
Nuff people see mi smile and think di laughter sweet
Look strong on the outside but mi heart ah weep
That's when a sweet voice touch my heart and said
All of us got to part one day
Nobody knows what the future holds
If you have someone who you love, let them know

If you love me
Better you tell me now
Don't bother wait til later
When mi gone you ah scatter roses
All ah mi friend dem weh pass and gone
Memories in my heart
But for those who are here right now

Nobody knows what the future holds
Nobody knows what the future holds

Jah people dem a ball seh dem tired a mediocre
Evil a go fall when wi trod inna Ethiopia
Believing from dawn 'cause dem life no easy 'bout yah
Even Banton seh it's not a easy road
Operation occupy the motherland
Calling all soldiers to kindly trod along
From creation it write inna Jah plan
But Chronixx cyaan do it alone
So I'm recruiting soldiers coming from near an' far by truth
Executing Selassie I works an' build Rastafari troops

An' dem seh here comes trouble
Here comes the danger
Sent by the Saviour, welcome the Rasta youths
I-man a start recruit soldiers fi Selassie I army, hey
Here comes trouble, here comes the danger
Welcome the Saviour, welcome the Rasta youths
You no haffi ask is who
A the general issuing a warning, wooy

Waving the banner red, green and gold
It is such a honour prophecies unfold
Discovered on stones, an' trees, an' scrolls
And even in the stories that Jesus told
Rasta youth must inherit the earth
Cyaan sit down, Jah Jah seh mi fi work
Bring the fire inna ground, Jah Jah, seh mi fi purge
But I cyaan do it alone
Rasta recruiting soldiers coming from near an' far I choose
Executing Selassie I works and build Rastafari troops

Here comes trouble, here comes the danger
Sent by the Saviour, welcome the Rasta youths
I an' I a start recruit soldiers fi Selassie I army, hey
Here comes trouble, here comes the danger
Welcome the Saviour, welcome the Rasta youths
You no haffi ask is who
A the general issuing a warning, hey

Here comes trouble (welcome the Rasta youths)
Here comes trouble, here comes the danger
Send by the Saviour, welcome the Rasta youths

chronixx - black is beautiful

We love the children of Africa
Teaching the children
Oh na na anna
La da da da

Black eye, black hair, black skin
Black queen stand majestic with the black king
Today I'll sing you a black song, you need to hear about beautiful black things 'cause
Most time we hear about black, we hear about black magic and black witches
Black list, black book, black market
Black Friday, ya spend off your black riches
I've never seen a doctor in black nor seen a black pill fi cure no black people
But I've seen bush doctors like Tosh and Marley resurrect like a real black beatle
Malcom, Marcus, Martin
When you see Walter Rodney ask him
How you nuh hear about Howell often
So when the little offspring asking, tell them

They never told us that black is beautiful
They never told us, black is beauty
They never told us that black is beautiful
They never told us, they never told us black is beautiful

You ah behave and ah gwaan like you never spend 500 years pon a farm
The same chain you ah wear and a gwaan is another black life in Sierra Leone
Dem find out mama earth got gold then
Dem mine out mama earth black soul then
You work hard just fi get ah black card
Same card weh you swipe buy back your black gold then
Hol' on, I see nuff faces long
But this is not a racist song
This is a song for the children who was never told about where their race is from
They never hear it in dem favourite songs
Everybody calm, ah say slavery's done
What a go gwaan when the babies come
And start read 'bout things like
Dogons, black Kemet and Kush
Black kings, black senates and books
Weh teach 'bout pyramids and put
Real significance to we physical looks
So every word weh mi say black
In my world everything black
Black white, white black right back
So don't be surprised when mi say mi king black

They never told us that black is beautiful
They never told us, black is beauty
They never told us that black is beautiful
They never told us, they never told us black is beautiful

Preacher is preaching good God the things that he preaches
I wonder who taught him to preach
Teacher is teaching where did he get his degree
Now it is no mystery who taught us black history
Peace out
