Ziggy Marley & Melody Makers - Naah Leggo
I can't remember
The good old days
What you say
Can you remember
But now
[Verse 1]
The children in the ghetto want food to eat
The people on the street want somewhere to sleep
Help them, Lord
Uh
The children in the ghetto want food to eat
The people on the street want somewhere to sleep
Help them, Lord
Help them, Lord, help them, Lord
What I say
You can't blame the youth them
Maybe some a the time, but
You can't blame the youth them
They are victims of poverty, yeah
They are victims of poverty, yeah
[Chorus]
But the Natty Dread
We hang on in there, we nah leggo
Hang on, hang on in there
We can't leggo
We hang on, hang on in there
We nah leggo
We hang on, hang on in there
[Verse 2]
Time gets so hard, everyone's going crazy
And the youth them thinking about taking up their arms again
Because you bound us here in poverty, yeah
I said, you hold us here in captivity
Everywhere we turn, it's another story, I say
And everywhere we turn it's another story
[Chorus]
But we got the Dread
Hang on in there, we nah leggo (nah leggo)
We can't leggo, we nah leggo (nah leggo)
We can't leggo, we nah leggo (never leggo)
We can't leggo
[Verse 3]
Wake up, wake up, wake up at 6:00 A.M.
No one wants to be their friends
Is it because they don't wear no shoes?
Make you don't like them
Is it because they ain't got no clues?
Every time I see your face, you're smiling
And your leadership on the earth is a big disgrace
[Chorus]
But the Natty Dread
We hang on in there, we nah leggo
We nah leggo, we never, we never (we nah leggo)
We nah leggo, we can't leggo (never leggo)
We don't leggo
Hey
[Musical Interlude]
[Chorus]
But we got the Dread
Hang on in there
We nah leggo, we can't leggo, we nah leggo
We can't leggo, we nah leggo
We can't leggo, we nah -
[Verse 4]
The children in the ghetto want food to eat
The people on the street want somewhere to sleep
Help them, Mr. Big Man, Mr. Big Man
The children in the ghetto want food to eat
The people on the street got nohere to sleep
Help them, Mr. Big Man, Mr. Big Man
But I say
You can't blame the youth them
You can't blame the youth them
They're gonna get even
You can't blame the youth them
No, you can't, president
You can't blame the youth them
They are victims of your poverty now
They are victims of your captivity
They are victims of your poverty now
They are victims of your captivity
[Outro]
But the Natty Dread
Hang on in there
Say, we nah leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
We never leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
Say, we nah leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
We never, never leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
We never, never leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
Jah Jah children nah leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
A Rastaman, nah leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
A black man, say we nah leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
A higher man, say we nah leggo (hang on, hang on in there)
We hang on in there (nah leggo)
We hang on, hang on in there (we nah leggo)
We hang on in there... (nah leggo)
