Released: 1996
Album: I Am the Investigator
(Please Mr. Cop) Cool down, now
(Please Mr. Cop) Down to the ground
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop
Cool down, now (cool down)
Hear me when I say, I say
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop
Cool down, now (cool down)
Put a smile on your face while passing through (oh, Mr. Cop)
Put away all the frown and that awful screw (oh, Mr. Cop)
We're just sipping a cup and having some fun (oh, Mr. Cop)
And it's better than in the streets bashing guns (oh, Mr. Cop)
Telling me stay chilling
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop, ooh-wee
Cool down (cool down)
We're just licking a cup, I said
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop
Cool down, now (cool down)
Say we are just sipping a cup
(..)
Beef deh a market, marrow in a bone (oh, Mr. Cop)
What don't concern you, please leave it alone (oh, Mr. Cop)
'Cause the grass was made for the cow and ass (oh, Mr. Cop)
And the herb on this land for the use of man (oh, Mr. Cop)
Tell 'em, Missa, tell 'em
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop
Cool down (cool down)
We're just licking a cup, I said
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop
Cool down (cool down)
Say we are just sipping a cup
Cool down (cool down) your temper, Mr. Cop
Cool down (cool down), down down
Down down, down down, down down
Go down (cool down), go down
Go down, go down, go down, (oh, Mr. Cop, cool down)
Coppy, stop you bothering me (oh, Mr. Cop, cool down)
Go down, go down, go down, go down...

Alaine - Hello (Adele Reggae Cover)
Artist: Alaine
Album: Hello
Released: 2015
JukeBoxx Productions
LYRICS
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years
You'd like to meet, to go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming
About who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt
Before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
For everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town
Where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret
That the both of us are running out of time
So hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
For everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Anymore, anymore
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
For everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Album: Inna Heights
Released: 1997
Artist: Buju Banton
Lyrics
Only Rasta can liberate the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute, they don't like you
Why try to make I unhappy
Really I don't know
If it was up to them my friend
We would never see the sun nor the snow
Through that mystical communication within
We keep on coming together
I love to see brothers and sisters
Looking out for one another
That's the way it should be
Not contrary, stop tearing down each other
Only Rasta free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Hard drugs won't do
You're just behaving like they want you to (yeah)
Arrogance is much different from ignorance
And I know you feel the same way too
Many live this life without having a clue
No reason why they are so sad and blue
Places to go so much things to do
Not a moment to reflect on the cycle of life (yeah)
A who free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you
It hard, it hard, it hard (yeah)
Mek them know we waan go home a we yard
It hard, it hard, it hard (let them know)
Let them know we waan go home a we yard
It hard, it hard, it hard (let them know)
Let them know we waan go home a we yard
It hard, it hard, it hard (oh god)
We waan go home
Only Rasta free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you
A who free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you

You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And baby you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
I like the way you do the things you do
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
I like the way you do the things you do
You make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do
I like the way you do the things you do
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower

UB40 - Homely Girl
Artist: UB40
Album: Labour of Love II
Released: 1989
Released By: Virgin Records Limited
Genre: Reggae
Lyrics
It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say, "You looked better in the dark"
But now they'd give all they learned in school to be somewhere in the dark with you
Oh, yes they would
The teacher would ask a question
And you would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
My eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh, yes I did
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh yeah, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Oh, you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see
Oh, yes you did
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
I was the only one who offered to carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter with the dirty looks
'Cause I saw then what they see now
They don't know how, they don't know how
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman

LYRICS
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
You left for the city
Many years ago
Promised to come back
And take care of us
Many years has gone by now
Still no sign of you, daddy, eh
Mother died of a heart attack
Many years ago when she heard
That you were married again
Now I'm the only one left in this family
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
Wandering up and down
The streets of Soweto
No place to call my home
I tried to find you
Many years ago
But the women you're married to
Was no good at all
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Remember me)
In whatever you do
I love you (Daddy, oh)

Take my hand take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you
As the river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things were meant to be

UB40 - Higher Ground
Every hour of every day I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground
Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
To cool the night for you and I
On the wing the birds fly free
Leviathan tames angry sea
The flower waits for honeybee
The sunrise wakes new life in me
Every hour of every day I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground
The fishes swim while rivers run
Through fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of the burning sun
Higher Ground is the second single from the 1993 album "Promises and Lies". This was a top 10 hit in the UK following the enormous success of the lead single “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You”.

I get my kicks from watching people
Running to and fro
And if you ask them where they're going
Half of them don't know
They're the ones who think I'm crazy
But they don't realize
That I'm just groovin', oh groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
And I've got sunshine in the day time
And moonlight every night
And I'm just groovin', oh groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die
I see a river, flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
And I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I'm just groovin', groovin' (groovin')
Groovin' out on life
I'm just groovin'
And I can't stop movin' (movin')
Groovin' 'til I die

Artist: UB40
Album: Who You Fighting For?
Released: 2005
LYRICS
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we've done, oh, was wrong
And please, darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed up by (I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties and so do you (I'm gonna miss you)
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, oh, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Ooh, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (I'm gonna miss you)
Yeah, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, oh, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Ooh, yeah (I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try? (I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie (I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes (I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy (I'm gonna miss you)
Whoa, whoa (I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Shaggy ft. Chronixx – Bridges (Official Video) From the album, “Out of Many, One Music” 2015 Ranch Entertainment, Inc.
I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now you'd like to cross it
I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now you'd like to cross it
I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now you'd like to cross it
I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now you'd like to cross it
Climbing up the ladder you better watch your steps
Watch how you a flex and watch the moves you meck
Careful of the people you disrespect
Dem di repercussions man nuh take nuh checks
Cause when you coming down they might not wanna treat you right
And when you coming down that's when you gonna get the fight
And now your wishing that you were a little more polite
And now the table turn and everything a come to light
(Repeat)
It's no coincident the people you meet
You haffi careful how you move in the street
The same man you pass when you going up
When you coming down, him a laugh and a grin him teeth
Grandma say today for you, tomorrow for me
That's when you have to face your real sorrows for real
I know you wish you never burn your bridges
But who cyaa hear haffi feel
A cyaa believe yo burn it, yo burn it, a weh you a go walk
When you haffi cross the river in a dark
You burn it, you burn all your bridges in the past
Now your future lead you to the same path

UB40 - Bring Me Your Cup (Official Music Video)
Artist: UB40
Song: Bring Me Your Cup
Released: 1993
Album: Promises and Lies
Did I ever say how I feel about you?
A thing I never found that easy to do
The things that you do, don't need to be heard
You know your actions, baby, speak louder than words
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork, and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I'm heading home like a steaming train
Foot to the floor in the driving rain
My head is aching and my mouth is dry
I've got a thirst only that you can satisfy
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I'm heading home like a steaming train
Foot to the floor in the driving rain
My head is aching and my mouth is dry
I've got a thirst only you can satisfy
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork and try a sup
And when you're empty I'll fill you up
