COMING IN FROM THE COLD
 
Coming in from the cold
In this life, in this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold
 
It's you, it's you, it's you i'm talking to
Well you, it's you, it's you
It's you i'm talking to now
Why do you look so sad and forsaken
When one door is closed
Don't you know another is open
 
Would you let the system
Make you kill your brotherman
No dread no
Would you make the system
Make you kill your brotherman
No dread no
Would you make the system
Get on top of your head again
No dread no
Well the biggest man you ever
Did see was just a baby
 
In this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
We're coming in from the cold
It's life, it's life, it's life
Coming from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold
 
It's you, it's you, it's you i'm talking to
Well you, it's you, it's you
It's you i'm talking to now
Why do you look so sad and forsaken
Don't you know
When one door is closed
Don't you know many more is open
 
Would you let the system
No dread no
Would you let the system
Get on top of your head
No dread no
Would you let the system
Make you kill your brotherman
No dread no
The biggest man you evre
Did see was once a baby
 
In this life, in this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold

REAL SITUATION
 
Check out the real situation
Nation war against nation
Where did it all begin, when will it end
Well it seems like the total destruction
The only solution
And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use nobody can stop them now
 
Give them an inch they take a yard
Give them a yard they take a mile
Once a man and twice a child
And everything is just for a while
It seems like total destruction
The only solution
And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
 
Check in the real situation
Check it out, check it out
Nation fight against nation
Where did it all begin, where will it end
Well it seems like the total destruction
The only solution
No use can't stop them
Ain't no use can't stop them
Ain't no use no one can't stop them now
Can't stop them now
Ain't no use no one can't stop them now
Ain't no use you even try
Ain't no use got to say bye bye
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
No one can stop them now

PIMPER'S PARADISE
 
She love to party, have a good time
She looks so hearty, feeling fine
She loves to smoke, sometime shifting coke
She'll be laughing when there ain't no joke
 
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was
Every need got an ego to feed
Every need got an ego to feed
 
She loves to model, up in the latest fashion
She's in the scramble and she moves with passion
She's getting high, trying to fly the sky
Now she is bluesing when there ain't no blues
 
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was
Every need got an ego to feed
Every need got an ego to feed
 
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was
A pimper's paradise, I'm sorry for the victim now
A pimper's paradise, soon their heads, soon their
Soon their very heads will bow
Pimper's paradise, don't lose track
Don't lose track of yourself, oh no!
Pimper's paradise, don't be just a stock, a stock on the shelf
Stock on the shelf, Pimper's paradise, that's all she was

COULD YOU BE LOVED
 
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved
 
Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you, oh! no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking
Is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light
 
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved
 
The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you
Love you brotherman
 
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
 
Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you, oh! no
We've got a life to live
They say only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive
 
Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved
 
You ain't gonna miss your water
Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him
The man will never be satisfied
 
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
 
Say something, say something
Say something
Reggae, reggae
Say something
Rockers, rockers
Say something could you be loved

REDEMPTION SONG
 
Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
All I ever had, is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs
 
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book
 
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs, redemption songs
 
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but oursekves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book
 
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
All I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
