Καλημέρα

Ανάμεσα στο ερέθισμα και τη δράση υπάρχει ένα κενό. Στο κενό αυτό κρύβεται η δύναμή μας να επιλέξουμε την αντίδρασή μας. Από αυτή την αντίδραση εξαρτάται η εξέλιξη και η ελευθερία μας...

Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley – Speak Life

I pray thee, I pray thee once again
I wonder to be surrounded by ones with such talent
You know

Speak life
Live a humble and meek life
Ordinary day of the week life
Try to search and seek life

Way up
Keep your head up and stay up
Even when you sore and pain love
Never giving up till its game up
Keep your aim up

And focus
Don’t concentrate on what’s bogus
Never sell out for a bonus
Handle your bis like grown ups
Own up

It’s amazing
The way Jah fire keeps blazing
That’s why I constantly praise him
For some of them it’s a phase thing
So they’re gazing

On the street lights
Till dem catch up in street fights
‘Cause are pretending they’re street wise
And put an end to a brief life
I feel like

It’s a mystery
How we can keep repeating our history
Making the same mistakes as our ancestry
Seem like all of life lessons missed with
It’s risky

So give praises
One day you may find your oasis
Rise up to the challenge you’re faced with
Be a pool and creative
You’ll make it

Its basics
People been doing it for ages
Many other cultures and places
On the regular basis
They’re so many cases

Lets face it (man)
Way too much time has been wasted (man)
Building military bases
Fighting our war with no basis

Life is sacred
And every baby born naked
Some a nah gwaan like dem raise big
And don’t care what they’re making
They can’t take it

So speak life (man)
All this darkness no feel right (man)
