Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave

Johnny Cash is someone I always admired, I just think he was a brave person and a true rebel...he dealt with the last years of his life which were very hard with a lot of grace...he kept the Black Flag flying....he's someone who I think of when I think of a O.G. and someone who should be emulated...like Bob Marley or Malcolm X or Charles Bukowski, or Scarface or Bun B or Mike Bigga or Guru (RIP)...Men Of Honour

ain't no grave can hold my body down...

PS. I know this blog is eclectic and all over the place but yo, I never learned to colour inside the lines...

Bounty Killer - Mi Tired

Mi tired fi mi black bredda dem behind di steel,

Mi tiyad fi see we hungry an' ah suffer fi di meal,

An' mi tiyad fi haffi beg di bigger heads fi sign di deal,

An' mi tiyad fi sweat fi nutten, but mi still a till the field.

 

A conscious tune from di Poor People Governor...

Quotable....

"Ambition is the desire to go forward and improve one's condition. It is a burning flame that lights up the life of the individual and makes him see himself in another state. To be ambitious is to be great in mind and soul; to want that which is worthwhile and strive for it; and to go on without looking back, reaching to that which gives satisfaction." - Marcus Garvey

I just saw this quote on kush-i.com and decided to share it...green paper gang mindset

Never let a woman go even when you know, she can always be replaced...

KING CHARLES - Love Lust by tomrobinson

I discovered this song (discovered in a Christopher Columbus sense, ha..) recently, and I just love it...its urgent, its loud, its deep, kinda like your beloved Green Paper Gang...

The lyrics got me, when i first heard him say, "Never let a woman go even when you know, she can always be replaced" I was like "What???"...then I thought about it and he has a point...then he said, " With a guitar in my hand or a gun in my hand, I’d give it all up for a hand in my hand". I'd give it all up for a hand in my hand.  Then he said, "Love will set your soul on fire"...And that certified this song for me...

Damn i'm now a romantic.

Here's a Quote to Live By...

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

Henry David Thoreau

Gyal Mi Wah Fi Hol' Yuh...

Hold Yuh - Gyptian

I've known Gyptian from way back, even before singing so i'm always happy when he drops a big tune...this one is huge...

PS.. You can use the first bar as a pick up line, when you see a sexy girl just look at her and say, "Gyal mi wah fi hol' yuh, put mi arms right around yuh".

Disclaimer: This may or may not work...

PPS. The pic above is Timberlee, cause hey...i want to hol' har...
