MISSING GREGORY (TERRIBLY)






Beef deh a-market

Marrow inna bone

What don’t concern you

Please leave it alone

Cause the grass was made 

For the cows and ass

And the herb on this land

For the use of man




Put a smile on your face

While passing through

Put away all that frown

And that awful screw

We’re just sipping a cup

And having some fun

And it’s better than in the street

Passing gun

Cool down your temper Mr. Cop

UP PARK CAMP (JA DREAMING)





When I used to go to school
You know they taught me the golden rule
They say: "Son you better know yourself
Because in times to come it's going to be dread"

An' now me gone a Up Park Camp
Me neva waan go a Up Park Camp
An' now me gone a Up Park Camp
Me neva waan go a Up Park Camp




Why didn't I take their advice?
If I did, I would be living in style
God knows I wasn't born to be wild

An' now me gone a Up Park Camp
Me neva waan go a Up Park Camp
An' now me gone a Up Park Camp
Me neva waan go a Up Park Camp

Days like today, 3 a.m.'s like this,  I long for 1000 Volts of Holt.
