Times Like These Lyrics by Queen Ifrica

Reggae Gold 2011 - Various Artists

2010

[Intro]
One civilization is not complete without it's art
The highest form of expression of human intelligence
You have have become complacent
Sitting down and allowing the other nations to run away with everything
You have become a bunch of consumers
You are creators
Rise up mighty people and accomplish what you will
Without confidence you're twice defeated in the race of life
[Verse 1]
They took away the voices, that gave the people pride
Now we're plunging into darkness
We all have to play our part, make a bold start
Every disc jock, and every artist
Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness
How so much alcohol in our parties?
While the girls a broke out
And the something weh she drink knock her out
Now she doesn't care where they prop her up
[Chorus]
It's times like these
I'm missing our heroes
Times like these i really wish they were around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Marcus Garvey
We know say you try your best, but we haffi go do the rest
[Verse 2]
They breed up the shotta dem, now we have a lot of dem
Prison pack up, now the grave dem a go back up then
The broke the national bird wing
Sell we out clean
Me no think we own a god damn thing
Jamrock, why we giving in to the trick wha' dem a trick we from the beginning?
Parents, you need fi wake up from the slumbering
It's we children blood dem is running
[Chorus]
It's times like these
I'm missing our heroes
Times like these I really wish they were around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Bob Marley
We know you never die in vain
We're gonna rise again
Hey
[Verse 3]
People use the fist hold the bell
Beat promise 'til it swell
Nobody nah go hear if you no yell
Listen wha' dem tell you 'bout the bucket weh go well
Black woman, put on your baggie da something deh no fi sell
A so we get fi know say society a go hell
Go ask dem a who put the crab inna barrel
PM, opposition, unuh done with the quarrel
Unite, come together, teach the people how fi chill
[Chorus]
It's times like these
I'm missing our heroes
Times like these i really wish they were around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Oh Miss Lou, we need you
A the first me heard of this
Hundreds and counting on the murder list a do this
[Verse 4]
They took away the voices, that gave the people pride
Now we're plunging into darkness
We all have to play our part, make a bold start
Every disc jock, and every artist
Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness
How so much alcohol in our parties?
While the girls a broke out
And the something weh she drink knock her out
Now she doesn't care where they prop her up
[Chorus]
It's times like these
I'm missing our heroes
Times like these i really wish they were around
We need you, we need you, we need you
Sam Sharpe
We need you, we need you, we need you
Nanny
Yeah
[Outro]
It's times like these
I'm missing our heroes
Times like these i really wish they were around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Marcus Garvey
