Dr. Kevorkian
[chorus]
Dr. Kevorkian, legal killer
Dr. Kevorkian, mass mass murderer
Dr. Kevorkian, him a life saver
Dr. Kevorkian, mercy killer

You're out of your mind with pain and suffering.
Want pain fe stop uno fe call pon de doc.
Well de doc got the remedy to all that ails you.
One pill you tek and your program gwan flop.

Ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma,
you know here ahawha what agwan unyah

Well I nuh care what you believe.
Somebody must take responsibility.
The elderly life is in despair,
abandoned by their family's and nobody cares.
All I see is pain and misery.
Somebody, somebody send help quick.

Ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma,
you know here ahawha what agwan unyah

[chorus]

Yakuza
Nothing can dwell....In your living hell

Gangsters left dead roses at his store front,
it was a warning sign.
If he doesn't pay that green back fast
his death his wife could grieve.

[chat]
He's banging his head against the wall with frustration.
He placed his family's lives in a bad situation.
He thought he was smarter and he could get over.
Now life is ticking away.
He's coming closer to danger.

[chorus]
Ohh ohh ohh ohh...Yakuza Yakuza...
I'd hate to be caught down in that trap.
Ohh ohh ohh ohh...Yakuza Yakuza...
Life is so damn sweet.

The drop off spot was at Central Park
right by Alice and wonderland.
It better be paid by twelve o'clock
or you can kiss your life good-bye.
I feel it best you pay the rest of this money by noon
or suffer the consequences, before things go kaboom.
You know what can happen in Brooklyn or Manhattan.
Betrail has a pattern which is usually death.

[chorus]

[rap]
What about your faith and your spirituality
your meditations and your prayers daily.
You burnt all possible allies with your deceit at your peak.
You stomped and crushed on the meek
You heard the words but you ignore the signs.
You cross the line so you must pay the price
Now you're running scared, you're running scared.
Yeah your heart is pumping, your heart is pumping.
Nothing can dwell in your living hell.
No diggidy no diggidy no diggidy
You must move on, you must proceed.

Hypnotized
Ohhh Ohhh You had me hypnotized,
Strung out on your lucky charms.
Higher than the darkest cloud.

[chorus]
CLEAR CLEAR!
You betta broke outta here
{Drop me!}
CLEAR CLEAR!
You betta disappear
{If you want to!}
CLEAR CLEAR!
You betta broke outta here
{X me!}
CLEAR CLEAR!
You betta dissappear
{You know you got to!}

Overwhelmed and possessed by your beauty,
hypnotized to follow you blind,
your dark side was revealed to me before,
the possibility of betrayal I did ignore.

Look inside with spiral eyes,
and the voice fades away.
Finger snap now I'm coming back.
Back the way I came!

[chorus]
The memory's fading,
The well's been dried up,
I should've known all along...
But the words you told me,
spoken slowly,
should've known all along...

[quiet part]
Drop me if you want to,
X me you know you got to.
Drop me if you wan to,
Draw and X on me,
You know you got to!

[chorus]

[chat out]
Mi nuh want you gal fi come back ina mi life.
Cos every day you give me fuss and strife.
You betta tek the high road.
Under pressure rude bwoy.
Oh yes ah Natchalos ah de DJ Daddy.
Mi Nice up disa dance, mi nice up disa party.
Anywhere dat mi go mi mek dance hall lively.
You betta know sey me
ad de don don diggidy don don diggidy di.

Jolly Jolly Jolly
Juggling through the basement,
selling some good isheent.
Get your sensi, run come get your budha,
get your thai stick, then come get your sensimelia.
Some say bad boy, say you nuh right.
But if me no do no juggling mi sey nah go nam tonight.
Look down the road you see the sign of the times.
Police love fi treat the rude boy unkind.
And me nuh ready fe die.

[chorus]
Oh Oh Oh Oh Jolly Jolly Jolly,
rude boy come out and get yourself good collie.

Don't let your problems get you down, light your big spliff up,
the sensi mans in town.

Inhale, exhale, now the good ishent.
It mek yuh cough from de grade is potent.
Inhale, exhale, good good ganja,
mek yuh feel good and it mek yuh feel wiser.
Herbs fe meditation also medication.
Not to be used or abused for a sensation.
It's a risk from you bringing in a good shipment,
cos police dem pon di alert dem under bare surveillance.

Generation
Time to awake -RIGHT!
Get up and fight -NOW!
Fight for mankind -RIGHT!

Mankind's transgression's against mankind
have been horrendous and they esculate with time.
Manipulated truths and calculated lies
is why the public can't see the truth before their eyes.
The ethnic cleansing in Bosnia.
The torching of black churches in America.
The ethnic cleansing in Rwanda.
The desecration of Synagogues.

[chorus]
Say next -Next Generation
Pray next -Next Generation
I pray the next will view the angles from all sides.

You've got the right to protest.
You got the right to vote.
So who's responsible for changing the advents of our time.
Exercise independence.
Control your life.
All able minds are ordained these civil rights.
But if you turn a blind eye,
You're just as guilty as the culpirits.
The innocent are sure to die.
So rise up against injustice.

Saga
The thread that you've been hanging on,
too long has gone to snap.
But you could have your own life again,
it's time to start.
Throw your stuff in a cardboard box and slide it out the door.

[chorus]
Sun came out the other day.
See that cold fronts here to stay.
Now you got your sunny skies.
But you can't see through the tears in your eyes.

Don't throw yourself on the picket fence.
Dont't hang around my door.
Finding something new again, you bite down to the core.
Shed some light on your darkest thoughts and maybe you will find,
You opened up your eyes once again to see the signs.

[chorus]
Don't let me stay too long cause I'll say something that'll come out wrong.
Just let me push away gently.
I won't be hanging on.

Show No Fear
They could ah be bigger, badder, stronger, or even rougher.
But the moment you show them fear,
it's an automatic invitaion that your end is comming near.
Life presents so many challenges on many levels I know.
With no hesitation forget their reputation and just let yourself go.

Show no fear na na na na na

You betta step up to the plate.
The powers that be would love me to be silent and simmer down, simmer down.
Think big do big and then you get big things.
Get your life under control.
If you feel you're moving too fast, stop, pause and pull over.
Check yourself and reassess the situation and then you start again.

Show no fear na na na na na

Roller Coaster
The roller coaster has finally come to an end now.
I exhale with a sigh of relief now.
Maybe it was the prospect of being your first man,
but not even that can quench my thirst to escape.

[chorus]
Goin goin going going gone! We out! Sonja, she ah Japanese and mi a Nigerian. Two cultures with different traditions. She mussee wan mi brain fi go malfunction. Gone are the days when my life was in confusion. I placed myself in the weirdest of situations. Maybe it was the fear of being on my own, but not even fear can impede my voice to be liberated.

[chorus] Can't stay loyal to the memory. Can't salvage joy from pain. I look forward to tomorrow, I look forward to today. Sonja, she ah gwan on like she nah understand the ratio to man is about 7 woman. A whole heap of fish swim inna de ocean. You betta move it Ah tell her Ah Coolie Ah World wide Ah Nuff ties Ah Pilfers Ah Long side Ah Cho bomba clat.

[chorus] Yes ah Natchalos man mi fresh out de pack. Champion joc and everybody knows dat. Slim and mi nah fat a mis a dark skin black. Ah and when mi come a dance mi ah yuh hard nut fi crack.

Climbing
You've got me climbing up, You've got me climbing up the wall.
Now I'm so glad to know they've all just gone home,
Cos finally we're here alone at last.
Now our desires have been held back for hours,

[chorus]
And I can't wait a minute, Wait another minute at all.
You've got me climbing up the wall

The TV casts shadows that flicker on the walls,
and it reminds me of the lake on a summers night.
Let yourself fall into my caramel vortex, you don't have to be afraid,
you'll be safe as we twist.

And I can't... [chorus]

[chat]
Now that rid out we guests it time to raise some hell
Inna mi fridge mi have a bowl of cherries and some white zinfindel.
If you want some love spectacular lay back and relax pon mi sofa.
If you want you cyann tek off your garments.
Mek noise inna mi apartment.
All week mi deyah set fi you, and ah drink ginseng and bere dragon's brew.
Off ah de hook aso mi run mi zone, cry baby can't enter mi home.
Same ting ah whey de chorus I say. Rude bwoy now pon de replay.

Shits Up In The Air
This one's dedicated to the gal Monique
She live in the heart of New York City.
Love the gal badly but she drive me crazy.
Tell me how the hell the two of we gwine marry.
Will you always by my baby
She says she don't know.
Will I regain my self-control once I let you go.
She said she doesn't know if she loves me but she'd like to work things out.
What you gonna work out if your minds so in doubt you might as well get on out.
Should I leave an annoying message when I know your screening my calls.
Should my last words me "I'll always love you" or "I never loved you at all."
Well only time will tell what it is that we must do.
Well I can't swear that I'll always be there for you.

[chorus]

[chat] She picked up the phone and then she started to OOH HAH.
Mi slam it down and then she called back and OOH HAH.
Mi getting tired of the same old OOH HAH.
Mi have to cuss her and tell her about OOH HAH.

Waitin' 4 U
Nothings out of the ordinary. (I know you know)
Everything's just fine with me. (Wherever you want to go)
I'm like a wooden wheel on a cobble stone. (rolling down the road)
I've got one step under your over easy. (I know you know)
I'm lookin down the rocky coast. (What a way to go)
Well it seems so clear but it's still not here. (Look and you'll see the way to love...)
Now the light is fading.

[chorus]
I'm still waitin for you, Nothin more I can do, I'm still waitin...

You got angst growin in the garden. (I reap what you sow)
You got boredom boiling on your stove. (Steamin to overflow)
You're my silent runner running deep. (Look and you'll see the way to live)
Now the light is fading.
Yeah I'm still waitin for you...
Cooled back my heels whats true...

[chorus]

Just give me the clue.
Just tell me what you want.
I'm commin around and fall out.
Pickin it up from where you left off.
Commin around, fallin out...

One Day
What you'll experience may not be favorable all the time.
But as you grow older you're gonna realize all that you've
undergone was just a clever design to mold you into who you are.
These friends of mine, who've fallen by the way side,
may never realize their place in the scheme of life.
One day you'll see what life truly means,
one day you will see what life has to offer you.
There may be obstacles that try to impede the strides you make in life.
Your faith can move mountains, the power is yours to guide
