I've been gone awhile away from you And I hope you overstand That I've got to do what I must do To be a better man Cuz if I was to just to act a fool Do nothing with myself Then all my blessings would be cursed My world would crumble in It's a joy when I sit down and Think of the good times that we have And what we do to make it through When the good turns to the bad Well I hope you'll find it in your heart And know these words are true And please don't fuss Because I must go do what I must do Hey baby don't you worry Even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again Cuz if you thought that I was lost I had to bare my cross Now I'm free from all these Chains A time, a space, a different place How perfect we might be I would be the wind that blows You'd be that willow tree And I could never bare the thought of you not by my side So I would be the warmth of day You'd be the cool of night And everyday I pray to Jah that one day you will see And overstand the fact I must fulfill my destiny I hope you'll find it in your heart and know these words are true And please don't cry Cuz you know that I must do what I must do Well and it's not easy Jah knows how I try, I try So don't you get weary Jah knows how I try, I try God knows Life is one big road With alot of signs and turns & twists and curves Even though the road is rocky My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin' From city to city Backyard to yard And we be seein' the sights, standin' under the lights And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night And I'm feenin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight But hold on, every single road I roll on Comes to an end and I'm back home again So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain high And our love don't die with the passage of time It just grows more, And just keep strong And even though I'm gone, I am never too far You're the light through the dark, shining right through my heart So my journey must start this my part jah rastafari I! jah rastafari i! jah rastafari I! jah rastafari i!

Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem and Japhet (Ham, Shem and Japhet); And in Ham is known to be the Prophet. Glory to Jah, the Prophet is come (through all these ages); Glory to Jah, the Prophet has come (through all these stages). When my soul was hurtin' deep within, And I'm worrying to be free, desperately, yeah. So guide and protect I'n'I, O Jah - Jah, Through all these ages; Guide and protect I'n'I, O Jah - Jah, Through all these stages. Rastafari is his Name (Jah!) - Rastafari is his Name (Jah!). If Jah didn't love I (love I), If I didn't love I (love I), If Jah didn't love I (love I), If I didn't love I, Would I be around today? Would I be around to say: Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises; Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises; Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises. [fadeout]

Dready got a job to do And he's got to fulfill that mission To see his hurt is their greatest ambition, yeah! But we will survive in this world of competition 'Cause no matter what they do Natty keep on comin' through And no matter what they say Natty do them every day, yeah! Natty dread rides again Through the mystics of tomorrow Natty dread rides again Have no fear, have no sorrow, yeah! All and all you see a-gwan Is to fight against Rastaman So they build their world in great confusion To force on us the devil's illusion But the stone that the builder refuse Shall be the head cornerstone And no matter what game they play We got something they could never take away We got something they could never take away And it's the fire (fire), it's the fire (fire) That's burning down everything Feel that fire (fire), the fire (fire) Only the birds have their wings, yeah! No time to be deceived Oh, brothers, you should know and not believe Jah say this judgement, it could never be with water No water could put out this fire (fire) This fire (fire), this fire (fire) This fire (fire), a yaga y'all! ride, natty, ride! Go there, dready, go there, 'Cause now the fire is out of control Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold! Everywhere this fire is burning, Destroying and melting their gold, Destroying and wasting their souls Go ride, natty, ride! Go there, dready, go there! Tell you what now the people gather on the beach And the leader try to make a speech But the dreadies understandin' that it's too late Fire is burning Man, pull your own weight! Fire is burning Man, pull your own weight! Natty dread rides again (natty dread rides again) And me say, go there, dready! Go there! (go there, go there) Oh ride, natty, ride! (dread rides again) And go there, dready! (go there, go there) Ridin' through the storm, Riding through the calm (go there, go there) Oh ride, natty, ride! Go there, dready, go there! Ride, natty, ride! Go there, dready, do there! Songwriters: BOB MARLEY © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd. For non-commercial use only.

about

gold mon 2 isn't about gold, it's about the message behind the music. The legend Bob Marley was very prolific in my life. I wanted to bring his message into my community and my surroundings, I wanted to have that same trust that he has in the people, I couldn't do that without hearing myself sing his music. I mean really sing the music. After covering at least 100 of his songs I decided that it was time to make an ep, and hope it gets heard by the people. I didn't care about the money, didn't care about the publicity, and I didn't care if no one ever liked my singing. I just wanted to channel Bob. I wanted to channel Marley. One day I was sitting at home when my sister's boyfriend told me he needed help with a gig I would be a stagehand aka a P.A. I asked for who and he said for Stephen Marley. I was quick to say yes, next thing you know I am picking up stephen's guitars and his drums, all his equipment. I'm walking right past him and ziggy! I didn't tell them I'm making their dad's music and remaking their music too, but one day, I dream they'll hear it. I&I know Bob hears it. Only a matter of time before the world hears the message the music and the redemption songs that I sing for Bob and his Bredren.
