SAD MAN by Patois Brothers
(Lyrics by Geremia Ballin)
RIT:
Sad man, you think you can do everything
Sad man, you got no morality
Sad man, ambitions are so funny to you
Sad man, you kill my vibe, you kill my vibe
Sad man, you think you can do everything
Sad man, you got no morality
Sad man, ambitions are so funny to you
Sad man, you kill my vibe that’s all I’ve got to say
Full of them, everywhere I go I can’t find myself and I’m still out again
Loving and support is not enough, against the government
You get everything from us you still want my medicine
You don’t even know what’s going on my world, that’s evidence
Covering the truth justice is all up to you, violence
Taking from them gold, energies resources then kill them
Outta inna the street you can find the evidence, like what you do to africans right?
RIT
Sad man, you think you can do everything
Sad man, you got no morality
Sad man, ambitions are so funny to you
Sad man, you kill my vibe, you kill my vibe
Sad man, you think you can do everything
Sad man, you got no morality
Sad man, ambitions are so funny to you
Sad man, you kill my vibe that’s all I’ve got to say
Propaganda, used to taking power
Understand what? Dem a taking louder
Ash Ash, money is gone under his trone
There is no rush rush
If I’m alone with cops, they gonna push push
They searching Kush Kush
Living in this babylon inna different way is tough tough
People living Kafka, they got no money to fix the lost yeh, system is done yeh.
RIT
Sad man, you think you can do everything
Sad man, you got no morality
Sad man, ambitions are so funny to you
Sad man, you kill my vibe, you kill my vibe
Sad man, you think you can do everything
Sad man, you got no morality
Sad man, ambitions are so funny to you
Sad man, you kill my vibe that’s all I’ve got to say

CHANGE THAT by Patois Brothers
(lyrics by Geremia Ballin)
RIT:
Give it to me your love my heart is empty
Imma keeping the good vibe right the entry
black ‘n white keyboard that’s the change
looking in your eyes waiting inna the laundry
no me no change the time
i was really fine
couple of weeks I fly
solo on the black road yeh,
I dont know why
ensemble in the ghetto, damn music on my mind
two weeks ago me and her on my right
to makes troubles to put bad on my mind
next time no thanks don’t wanna waste my time
love is the best red card I ever ride
I got no fuel for that
I got really tired
I got no money in my pocket
if you really want me you give me a chance
you’ll see like the rest
love is answer put away your violence
RIT:
Give it to me your love my heart is empty
Imma keeping the good vibe right the entry
black ‘n white keyboard that’s the change
looking in your eyes waiting inna the laundry

FLOWER by Patois Brothers
(lyrics by Gioele Ballin and Geremia Ballin)
RIT:
Fight to the World, game for the power
Dem keep up the war, I call up the father
For all the innocents asking ceasefire
Babylon dem distroy the World, sowing deathly fire still
Conquering the Earth, smiling like a liar
There’s blood of innocent growing this flower
[J-ballin]
On the time of convenience Babylon a fight club and spread out the war
For the consumer confidence they minace the nations buying the Earth
With the book in the hand, they go over land, then 'ropopom!' spread death fyah
Dem a come so the game it's over
Dem are in like thief undercover
Close your eyes and see the children growing up down there
In the land where powerful can mark the ground and share
Can a father wants to grow his son in places like that?
With AK47 and gun
(ra papa papa pa papapan)
RIT
Fight to the World, game for the power
Dem keep up the war, I call up the father
For all the innocents asking ceasefire
Babylon dem distroy the World, sowing deathly fire still
Conquering the Earth, smiling like a liar
There’s blood of innocent growing this flower
[J-milli]
Dem a put out the guns, we got the flowers
They are dropping bombs
Serching for money
Rules are clear for people like dem
Luxury for people like dem
Uoh
Notting at all
Working all day, we sell our freedom
Cracking the system we fall down
And look what we found
Our peacefull setting about the problems is the cure
Our richness is not about money, is different that yours
In love we trust, we look the past
Time have no rest, we growing fast lonely
RIT
Fight to the World, game for the power
Dem keep up the war, I call up the father
For all the innocents asking ceasefire
Babylon dem distroy the World, sowing deathly fire still
Conquering the Earth, smiling like a liar
There’s blood of innocent growing this flower

MONEY AND LOVE
by Geremia Ballin
Upper my t-shirt, waiting for the gunshot, my friend is telling me dont worry
You cannot stop me, I’m getting up for ya,
dreadlock on me, dreadlock on me
No matter if my soul is on the darkness
Chemical worries on me like stress
No matter if my soul is on the darkness
Chemical worries on me like stress
Drink that fresh coke
There is no problems when the money comes
Still alive like hope
We forget to love when the money is gone
I want make myself
great every day
shyning with the sunlight
I want improve myself
Everyday
Fighting for my rights
we need the green paper to have the rights
we need the crisis times to be wise
I swim on this pollution like a box prime
cauze people on this world dont care about my life so tell me
give me the poison
to set me free from the reality
my story of estortion
my earth is on the wrong hand
so I will stop it, yeh
with no money in my poket
I will smash it down
so I will stop it, yeh
with no money in my poket
I will smash it down
Drink that fresh coke
There is no problems when the money comes
Still alive like hope
We forget to love when the money is gone
I want make myself
great every day
shyning with the sunlight
Drink that fresh coke
We forget to love when the money is gone
