These Words, These Sounds, These Powers Video (MV)

I'm gonna smoke til my eyes them red like fire
Read a couple page and chant out two prayer
For the weak for the poor the long time sufferer
The one when evening come they can't find no supper
The youths them have to bathe up in a cold water
A family getaway is a non-starter
Every day is grim and like in Get Carter... hey

And though times hard and money short there'll be sunshine in the face of the people
Whether they are walkathon or have corn to put gas in their vehicle
And though times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor people
When nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to put gas in their vehicle

So for these words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
Giving me the strength to believe that there'll be brighter days
These words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
Give me strength and conviction to go on

Me nah go drink up too much of the firewater cos it's a deeper vibration I&I ah call for
As a herbsman I smoke and meditate like Rasta
For there's a whole heap of questions and and I want some answer
Why a station inna space and no cure for cancer?
How much more have to dead to put oil in a tanker?
Why man locking up for weed but them ah free the banker?

While times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor people
When nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to go and put gas in their vehicle
Remember times when money short and there's much less fortunate people
And nuff of them are walkathon they have no corn to go put gas in their vehicle

So for these words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
Giving me the strength to believe that there'll be brighter days
For these words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
Their giving me the conviction I need to move on

We nah go take none of the sympathy neither
You don't see nuff ghetto youths ah turn riddim rider
Courthouse and jailhouse them sick of lock up inside of,
I don't condone the badness or the things that ain't right sir
Do things to make your family proud your future brighter
Here what I'm saying my friend just push up you lighter and smoke til your eyes them red like fire... hey

Although times and money short there'll be sunshine in the face of the people
Whether they are walkathon or have corn to go put gas in their vehicle
And when times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor people
And nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to go put gas in their vehicle

So for these words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
They're giving me the strength to believe that there'll be brighter days
These words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
They're giving me the strength and conviction to move on
So for these words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
They're giving me the strength to believe that there'll be brighter days
These words these sounds these powers I'm giving you my thanks and praise
They're giving me the strength and conviction to move on

Giving me the strength
The conviction
Said I'm gonna smoke
And chant out two prayer
They'll be sunshine in the face of the people
They'll be sunshine in the face of the people
They'll be sunshine in the face of the people
They'll be sunshine in the face of the people
