[Em] Rockstown, West Mandela
Rockstown, West Mandela
Rockstown, West Mandela
I said, Rockstone was my pillow
Rockstone was my pillow
And the man said, Rockstone was my pillow
That good love mind placed me safe
But them empty we have to mind put me in
Everyday we terrorize by swords and police
When they think them a strong man, they think them a ape
From them a black and white, a Indian and chief
From the first to the last, straight up to seven streets
One thing in love we find affection pretty face
And make it in a life of inheritance
We hit the playoff, self implied
Cannot get layoff, want a world we love
Can't even get a layoff, only want to stand below them
I know set them way off, alright
So me say one by one, one by one
[G] One by one, we stepping out of Babylon
And then one [Em] by one, one by one
Looking for a say I be conquering lion
Rockstone was my pillow
Rockstone
I said, Rockstone was my pillow
Rockstone was my pillow
Help us now, take us from the slum
Can't forget for matter what, we'll be by the moon
Help us now, take us from the slum
Can't forget for matter what, we'll be by the moon
Operation is a good thing all the time
Not to idle your muse, God abroad you mind
But if I stand against you, no where is to find
Hunger, poverty, a system so unkind
As a matter of fact, there is an aftershock
When come Congress, my man, I'm a pillow to rock
Try to make it through, this is all doomsday
Yet [G] not in me to try, and so I go stand
I'm the right to move on you
I'm the right to grab the wood and move [Em] on you
Yet when you in the way, the wood look on you
The only son I want to wife, the food on you
But we are
I'm a lion now, Zion down
It is we are Africa for sure
Liberate the poor, the poor
Hey, I'm not like Joe B.
Ittlese
I'm the one who's a warrior
I'm ready for the Lord to kiss and praise
Goodbye, goodbye Babylon [E] Goodbye, goodbye
[Em] Open up Zion's door
O Zion, it's the ocean for sure
[Bm] Children of Israel
Children [D] of Israel
[Em] Rock down, watchman below
Rock down, below
I say, rock down, watchman below
Rock down, watchman below
Give me now
John, I'm [B] a man of the Lord
I'm gonna send me a man for food
I'm [Bm] ready to dance, I'm ready to go
If I'm [E] not there, I'll be sitting alone
I'm gonna pass around, [Bm] I'm gonna block
I'm gonna be myself, I'm gonna [G] be my man
I'm ready to hear my children
Elliot, boy, you're a man of the Lord
[Em] For if I'm not, I'm not a man of the Lord
[Abm] I'm ready to sing my songs
For my songs, I'm ready to sing my songs
The priest [G] will rise up as a man
For the [Em] correction in my man
Preaching out to all the new man
Give praise to King [G] Solomon
[D] Now, [E] I'm gonna tell you a lot of
I'm [Em] gonna be back in a month or two
I'm gonna be back
I'm gonna be [E] back
I'm just coming in again here
I'm just coming in again here
I'm just coming in again here
When [Fm] it's a Sunday, I can't say [G] that
I didn't know the youth, can't talk
I'm gonna make my way [Em] up in the top
With my head right, my head [Abm] in the top
I'm gonna put it in my mouth, I'm gonna rap
Pray to [E] God, fill my voice up
With hearts, no cold blood, no cold blood
Live in a house, I live in [B] a block
Up in the [F] Zion, the riches are [G] dark
Jah's blue grace, they never cannot
[Em]
