Title: CHANCE
Artist: ROOTSPENCE
Chorus (2X)
Vai viver esta chance
Que Deus deu para você
Vai curtir esta chance
Que amanha eu não sei
Juro já não posso mais aguentar tanta dor
Não aguento mais viver esse dissabor
Eu não aguento mais carregar tanta dor
Todo mundo diz: irmão, o que é teu lá se foi
Afinal até quando vou carregar o passado?
Hoje é novo dia, vou seguir sempre em frente
Hoje é novo dia, já aprendi do meu fracasso
Deus deu me uma chance, vou fazer diferente
Chorus (2X)
Yesterday I made mistakes,
Lord I was young
I know I made mistakes
But yesterday is gone
Jah gave me one more chance
And made me stronger
Cause my Mama raise no fools
I’m on my way to my throne
You can curse me till the end
Lord is my Shepherd
You can hate me till the bone
You can’t break my shelter
Don’t you say I’m over now
My heart is still beating
Don’t you say I’m over now
Till the end I’ll be fighting
Yes I’m wise now
I’ve learn from my mistakes
Devil ain’t your friend
Onto him don’t put your trust.
Chorus (2X)

Doi saber que já não vou olhar
Para esse rosto bonito
Mas sempre vou lembrar
Esse teu sorriso
Diz me porque te vais
Porque te vais, eyee

Thirty days have gone now
And am yet to understand
What happened that night
When you came collecting everything
Coming to our place
Taking everything you had
And hearing him say… ayyy
We are going far awayyyyy
Every day I look for you inna the streets
In the hopes to find you there
And bring you safe home
And live our love eternally
The nights… are so cold
The nights are so coooold
Look at me, look at meee…
Look at me knowwwwww
Chorus
Ka booooom…
Lord, I love that Girl
I don’t know why she left me yeeeh

Title: EVERYTHING
Artist: ROOTSPENCE
Chorus (2X)
I’ve got the feelin’
That everything’s gonna be alright
I’ve got the feeeeeeeeel…
That everything’s gone just fine
After 15 years of work
I had some in the bank
One day… I’ve invested it all
Things didn’t go as planned
I was almost filling bankruptcy
Everything, everything, everything
Falling down on me
Yeah I was real down
Now I’m here
Feeling I can make it
I will make it through
I will make it through
And yes I will…
Chorus (2X)
When I was down back there
I went and knock my Brother’s door
I said Brother… I need your hand
All my Brother could do
Was knocking me down back on my knees
Knocking me, knocking me, knocking me down back
On my knees
Hey… Oh ohhhhhhhh… Brother,
From the very bottom of my heart
Thank you, thank you…
Cause I have learn the blessings of disappointment

Everything, everything
Everything, everything
Everything, everything

Title: NEVER BE ASHAMED
Artist: ROOTSPENCE
Chorus
Never be ashamed
Of what you love or believe in
If you don’t be your self today
You won’t say you lived one day.
Never be ashamed
Of what you love or believe in.
If you don’t be your self today
You might regret one day.
(Roots)
You say
As Rastaman I’n I a inferior
While all the way from Babylon
You claim to be superior
You turn your back on my hell
Enjoy watching me suffer on my own
And yet pretend to wish me well
And all you do is su-su ‘pon me
Though with Jah I’ll endure forever more
From the beginning
And sure until the end of times
Chorus
(Ras Soto)
Yo…
Some a them no like the life you’re living
Some a them no like the things you’re doing
You just have to be yourself
Stand fi ya rights
Never go down

Can’t you see the lights
Never be ashamed fi di herbalist life
Never be ashamed fi di gial that ya love
The levity is so hard
But we can overcome
Trough the powers of Jah… The living I

Cause He anointed mi heart and brain
With the powers of love

From the beginning
Until the end of times

Title: ONLY LOVE
Artist: ROOTSPENCE
(Spoken Intro)
The love must cover the earth
As the water cover the sea
Big up to, Cape Town…
Maputo we say…
Pre-chorus
Only love can heal you
Only love can heal you
We live in a world full of confusion
We live in a world full of exclusion
Most preach love and peace
Like in the realm of Judah
But when it is about them piece
Love do not exist, nah
Chorus X2
Only love can heal you
Only love can ever heal you
A greatest gift from Jah
Is the free will and freedom
Who has his heart in Jah
Got the key to His kingdom
So be good and shine
Spread love to mankind
Love with no regrets
Just live eternally
Chorus X2
Only love can heal you
Only love can ever heal you
Why do you choose wickedness?
Love is only way to freedom
Why do you foster blindness?
Aren’t you tired of chiefdom?
Mi say stop war
Mi say stop crime
Mi say stop war
Mi say stop fight
So… Chorus X2
Love
Show them some love
Brother mi say love
Show them some love x5
Chorus X2
