Tommy Lee Sparta - Redemption Song
Mhmm-hmm...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Oh no
[Verse 1]
I'm just trying to make some music
I'm just trying to entertain
Some say that I'm young and crazy
Some say that I'm insane
I face my struggles daily
And never once complain
We might share the same culture
But we are not the same
You don't even know my story
You don't even know me
The stage is like a court room
The crowd is like a jury
So much badmind surround me
Say dem a friend, but dem no love me
Ungrateful people, me no waan see
Dem fi watch me rise and make history
[Verse 2]
Sparta me say, a deh me deh
Jah guide and protect me anyweh
I will never show dem no fear
Mama hope and pray for a better day
Say me no know weh me a go, but me know weh me been
And all me know me never going back there again
True music and fame something's haffi change
Mama gonna get a big up son reign
I always learn to keep my faith
Even when it seems too late
Standing outside heavens gate
Hoping to God they'll let me in
I know I ain't perfect
No one on this earth is
So tell me why you waan fi fight me down
Why you waan me lay down under ground
As a ghetto youth I stand alone
Forgive me for my sins, my wrongs
And let me carry on
With my redemption song
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
[Verse 3]
See trouble a come, weh trouble a go
And time is hard and it cold like snow
No one knows the struggles me been tru
And nobody inna the world can walk in my shoe
From me a nine a me mommy alone
My daddy dead and gone
Little pickney on my own
But I learn to stay strong
Walk the streets without no fears
Sleepless nights and no one cares
At times I cry and no one hears
Live my life out on the edge
I watch my friends lay in the dirt
And no one knows how much that hurts
Put on my pants, my shoes, my shirt
Sunday morning the first one deh inna church
[Chorus]
But they think they know me, haaa
They try to judge me, haaa
Don't know my story, haaa
Don't know a thing about me
[Verse 3]
Uncle demon dem praying every demon dem never see
Look how dem try fi fight against me
The demon thing is just a character
Like a movie, uncle demon a actor
See Bounty a no Killer
Ninja a no Ninja
Mad Cabra a no Cobra
Elephant a no elephant
Wha do some full dem a talk 'bout intelligent?
[Chorus]
But they think they know me, haaa
They try to judge me, haaa
Don't know my story, haaa
Don't know a thing about me
Say as a man I stand alone
Forgive me for my sins my wrong
Let me carry on with my redemption song
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
With my redemption song
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
With my redemption song
