Human Dignity (C. Vrenios)
Respect and human dignity Will carry along the long long road of life.
No more war mentality, Virtue can be lost inside the vice...
I say, the struggle can be double when you choose the wrong fight, in life.
When you loose your faith or when you loose your sight.
Clean heart and actions of integrity is what we need, to hold, to carry the heavy load
along the long long road of life.
Talk your walk and keep no secret, truth be told that time will reveal it.
Whether your first one up or whether you last one down thank god that your still around.
When you close your eyes do you see, the truth and reality.
Respect and human dignity is what we need along the long long road of life.
No more war mentality. Virtue can be lost inside the vice.
Talk your walk, and keep no secret. Truth be told, time will reveal it.
Clean heart, and actions of integrity is what we need,to hold
as we carry the heavy heavy load along the long long road of life.
No matter if your wrong or if your right, if your standing on the right side of life.
Do you hear?

Life (C. Vrenios)
Life..... you want what you wish for. (life) But you take what your handed. Your works will be consistent if you choose to live progressive. Life within itself is a success. A life without a friend, a life without a witness. A lifetime in court is a shortcut to hell, life is a gift we're given, your actions will speak quite well.
Life... if but a dream then let me be awakened. (Life) Use the gift that is given before it gets taken. Life, gives us a choice choose your direction. In a world of mystery you have to search for explanation.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come. (repeat)
Life....but a dream for the wise, and a game for the fool.
A comedy for the rich, A tragedy for the poor.
So it is above it is below.. so it is above it is below

Ρολόι-κομπολόι (Watch rosary) (Anna Bakritzi)
A clock I gave you
That I was looking at when you were running
That I was looking at when you were running
And I asked if you loved me
I'll give it the clock
And I will get a rosary
To measure the whims
And sighs
Now you are not in my arms
And my heart the jealousy eats
What to do such a clock
Every beat and laughter
I'll give it the clock
And I will get a rosary
To measure the whims
And sighs

Say What You Want (C. Vrenios)
Say what you want, mean what you're saying. You say what you want, mean what you're saying. They say the tongue it has no home, but it can break your bones.
The tongue of bad friends cut just like a knife. Could save your life, or take it twice.
Say not all you know but believe in what you're saying. Say not all you know but believe not all you hear.
The word is like a bird, once it flies you just can't catch it. From thought to tongue through mouth for all to hear.
So say what you want, mean what you're saying.

What Is Happening (C. Vrenios, V. Benjamin)
Tell me what is happening, tell me what is happening. What's happened to I love of humanity. What happened to our leaders sanity. Which happened to our care and generosity. Which happened to police mentality.
Treating our people with brutality, hey.. tell me what is happening
In an age of evolution and information. Growth in means of exploitation Overconsumption of miss information, Tell me what is happening,
Hey, tell me what is happening
Emperor Haile Selassie I The first. Speak the absolute ultimatum to the earth. Without sugar in nostalgia or idealism unrealistic power. Humans exceeded the barrier before On the other side of the flood of Noor. I-asis Kingdom of Utopia. Spiritual interaction behavior. Not superficial but interior, demonstrated to the whole world Jah.
The dread build a catacomb Rasta, walking into the modern era,
Transformation, communication, commonality utterer in contemporary pop culture
Lion whoa., in incendiary no man culture, ricochet and create more fire
The beast of Jah lack a cool water. As biotech bring more exposure.
The firmament still de full of wonder, Negative is self-canceling power.
Emperor highly Selassie I the first, speak the absolute ultimatum to the earth.
Without sugar in nostalgia. Idealism, unrealistic for. Humans exceeded the barrier before, on the other side of the flood of Noor I-asis Kingdom of Utopia

Pressure (C. Vrenios)
Pressure that they living under. Pressure that they living under. Oh what oppression, what a pressure that they living under (repeat).
Full-time pressure dem a living under. Turn good people into street hustler. When you look into the ghetto see them on the corner

Every day, more and more people just suffer. Just to get by they have to work much harder Oh what a pressure. What oppression that they living under ...

Heart Of Gold (Neil Young)
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions I never give
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold.
I've been in my mind, It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold. You keep me searching and I'm growing old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
Keeps me searching...

Communion (C. Vrenios, A. Hill, H. Stafford)
Communion of the mind is a union of the heart. (a pure love inna mi thought)
Communion of the mind (we deh tell dem long time) is a union of the heart.
Babylon keep calm, don't make the Rasta turned the heat on.
Poor people can’t take the system weh a gwaan .. can't find no food so they youth a bust corn corn corn Yo
Missa man in a your jacket and tie, Don't wan’ see the poor man them strive
You a rip and you a rob and you a real shamfy
Oh what a pity, reggae music lock down the whole damn city.
Babylon can't take it they muss ‘e sicky sicky
The bass line hold dem like di sticky icky icky. Are you listening?
Communion of the mind (we deh tell dem long time)
Is the union of the heart (a straight love inna mi thought)
Me and the music we reached a Heartical thought.
Protecting creation from all of the wickedness that Babylon brought.
Great King Selassie I gave a speech on to the nation rejecting war and segregation,
It will be World communion without exception. All Jah people, throw out thy evil.
All Jah people, throw out thy evil in this
Communion of the mind (we deh tell dem long time)
Is the union of the heart (a straight love inna mi thought)
Social need in media, fed by propaganda and social economical hysteria.
Everything you run down pon, can get jump out of hand..
Everything you run down pon, do you understand?
