Yes, it is nice to get in conversation with women
For you will hear some things that you wouldn't hear from men
Like if them was man whey they woulda do
And who man they know more stupid than who
How they woulda live bachelor their whole life long
Woman couldn't have them drinking and falling down
But, this jamette ah bounce up in La Romain
She tune was the same, that same old refrain
But lyrics of a different vein
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
Ah have to have time for mih husband, time for mih children
Time for mih sweet man, time for me
Time for I to reminisce, time enough to done with this
To be alive is nice but tough
One lifetime ent nuff
Yes, we commented on the nation's late recession
Some of the things that leads women into deep frustration
When you children ent have no shoe for their feet
To maintain them, their father playing hide and seek
"Life is what you make it", she say, seems out of place
Very few could make it today in this rat race
And praise to those who on a spiritual height
It's like hell for those who insist they got to exist on bacchanal and immoral flight
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
You have to have time to save money, time when you sickly
Time for recovery, time to spree
Time to see a dream come true, time to provide for your offsprings too
To be alive is nice but tough
One lifetime ent nuff
I must admit I thought that prostitutes had forget
The true virtues of life, the up and downs and the assets
But this jamette woman, she put me right
She made me see things in a different light
After all we are nothing more that human beings
To each his own, striving to survive on different scenes
And there are things that you would like to do
But then it's up to Mother Nature and Father Time to decide if you could pursue
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
You have to have time for growing up, time for freeing up
Time for checking up, time for so
Time to control one's ego, time to know when to say no
To be alive is nice but rough
One lifetime ent nuff.
I realise just then the angle she coming from
Boy, it is always said a woman's work never done
Although whey she say make Black Prince tremble
It woulda be nice if was possible
For all of them times that I wasted having fun
Ah sure ah need another lifetime to right the wrongs
And I believe that you woulda admit also
That we would hardly ever have to accept the fact of regret and "If ah did know"
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
You have to have time for soul seeking, time for self finding
Time, time for so
Time for true maturity, time to ------
For man does ----- for time ------
One lifetime ent nuff.

One Lifetime Ent Nuff

HOOSAY
By David Rudder
"Wear something red," was the popular cry
And like the pavements and streets, they were filled with envy
Because by morning light, they were covered with our blood
I tell you not one soul there escaped the frenzy
You know, sometimes you gamble in king and wild is the joker
And sometimes the sight of the moon just riles up the lost, the hungry, the mad
These are the troubled times that we have down in Trinidad.
Because under the crescent moon and above the bloody asphalt
Strange dogs were barking deep in the night
Under the crescent moon, I say the drums were silent
But somehow the rhythm continued, oh what a sight!
On the night of the day, it was the night of the day,
Oh, the night when they say that the martyrs died.
Fame, yes, we're famous as hell
Why don't you know we're a star
At long last we have made it
A star, like that star in the moon shining over the tomb
Dance the moon ---------------
Come on dance, brother, dance but death is your drummer, oh
Dance, sister, prance, the future's at stake
And jump high, jump low, but this Hosay will take the cake.
Because under the crescent moon and above the bloody asphalt
Strange dogs were barking deep in the night
Under the crescent moon, I say the drums were silent
But somehow the rhythm continued, oh what a sight!
On the night of the day, it was the night of the day,
Oh, the night when they say that the martyrs died.
The power and the glory is so close at hand
But the beast he was lurking
For he too sits in the wings, in the wings
So when we searched for the moon all we saw were the vultures
But then a chosen people never worry 'bout these things
So the roll of the tassa began to sound like the rhythm of bullets
And the thundering boom bass well, that was a bomb, was a bomb
In ah this Muslim time when the Hosay is number one.
Ah say, under the crescent moon and above the bloody asphalt
Brother man, strange dogs were barking deep in the night
Under the crescent moon, I say the drums were silent
But somehow the rhythm continued, oh what a sight!
On the night of the day, it was the night of the day,
Oh, the night when they say that the martyrs died.
Not in this house, not in this garden of Eden
Oh, how we danced to the beat of this lovely lie, lovely lie
Until a man opened a door and showed us our other side
And our Mecca-ed illusions walked right on by
Now Trini know what is Oozy diplomacy
Now Trini know what is SLR love
In ah these troubled times under the stars above.
Ah say, under the crescent moon and above the bloody asphalt
Brother man, strange dogs were barking deep in the night
Under the crescent moon, I say the drums were silent
But somehow the drumming continued, oh what a sight!
On the night of the day, it was the night of the day,
Oh, the night when they say that the martyrs died.
Under the crescent moon and above the bloody asphalt
Strange dogs were barking deep in the night
Under the crescent moon, I say the drums were silent
But somehow the rhythm continued, oh what a sight!
On the night of the day, it was the night of the day,
Oh, the night when they say that the magic died.
So "Wear something red," was the popular cry
And like the pavements and streets, they were filled, were filled with envy
Because by morning light they were covered with our blood
I tell you not one soul there escaped the frenzy
You know, sometimes you gamble in king but you pull the court jester
And sometimes the sight of the moon...

Stand Up and Fight [Song]
Uploaded by cool4rocknroll
Well well... yeah, oh yes
Hail everybody, once again bacchanal in we country
I like to see people having fun
This rounds keep all yuh heads on
We have some leaders in this place, taking advantage on the human race
Man, they did it to we once, they did it to we twice
Before they squeeze we in a bind
We must stand up and fight
Ah say to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight to survive
Well, we must stand up and fight
Ah say to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight for we life.
Brethren [Don't give up the fight]
Sistren [Don't give up the fight]
Well, we must stand up and fight for survival
Garvey say, [Don't give up the fight]
Ah say, ah say, ah so ah say [Don't give up the fight]
Well, we must stand up and fight to survive...Well
They taking advantage, they feel poor people stupid
They making all the money
They have the children hungry, hungry
These people too damn greedy
That's why we must ban them in the 90
Man, the purpose of this fight is to make the living right against IMF pressure
We must stand up and fight
Ah say to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight to survive
Well, we must stand up and fight
Ah say to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight for we life.
Brethren [Don't give up the fight]
Hail sistren [Don't give up the fight]
Well, we must stand up and fight for survival
Garvey say [Don't give up the fight]
What Marley say [Don't give up the fight]
Well, we must stand up and fight to survive... Well
We must take a stand, come together to rescue this nation
The value-added tax system erase hopes now for poor men
But my friends I do believe, once we fight together we must achieve
Man we going down today, moving anything above we way
Any stupidness they say
We must stand up and fight
We got to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight to survive
Yes, we must stand up and fight
We got to to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight to survive
Brethren [Don't give up the fight]
Sistren [Don't give up the fight]
We must stand up and fight for survival...well well
[Don't give up the fight] Ah so ah so ah say
[Don't give up the fight] Stand up and fight to survive... Well
We must have a plan to give to the young generation
Let them know their life would be filled with hope, love and glory
Is our duty to make sure their life will be worth living for
Man, to do that ent easy, we have to clean up the city
Before we enemies done we.
We must stand up and fight
We got to get up and fight
We must stand up and fight to survive
------ get up and fight stand up and fight
We must stand up and fight to survive.
Brethren [Don't give up the fight]
Sistren [Don't give up the fight]
Well, we must stand up and fight for survival
Garvey say [Don't give up the fight]
What Marley say [Don't give up the fight]
Well, we must stand up and fight to survive... Well
Garvey say [Don't give up the fight]
What Marley say [Don't give up the fight]
Mandela say [Don't give up the fight]
I say [Don't give up the fight]
Yeah, you must never, never, never, never
You must never, never, never, never, never.....
