I rolled up on the shoulder
With a flat just yesterday
He pulled up he said honey
I can get you on your way
I said I got this as I gave
The wrench a little twirl
He said I'm so impressed
You're pretty good for a girl
I scored a 98 in Biology
I studied night and day for my PHD
I worked so hard to get those letters on my name
My teacher said you're pretty good for a girl
Yeah, just the same
I'm good at making it happened
I'm good at getting it done
I'm good at working hard
And I'm good at having fun
I'm so much more than diamond
I'm so much more than pearl
And yeah I'm good
I'm pretty good for a girl
I pulled up to the show
Unloaded all my gear
He said you need some help
My pretty little dear
He don't know just how much weight
I've carried all around
And now its time to do my job
And match him pound for pound
I'm good at making it happened
I'm good at getting it done
I'm good at working hard
And I'm good at having fun
I'm so much more than diamond
I'm so much more than pearl
And yeah I'm good
I'm pretty good for a girl
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I played my heart out
Couldn't be a better night
We held a vibe and when
They turned up all the lights
This cutie slid up to the stage after the show
And whispered in my ear
You're pretty good for a girl ya know
I'm good at making it happened
I'm good at getting it done
I'm good at working hard
And I'm good at having fun
So keep all of your diamonds
And keep all of your pearls
And yeah I'm good
Pretty good
I'm good at making it happened
I'm good at getting it done
I'm good at working hard
And I'm good at having fun
I'm so much more than a pretty face
And I might just rule the world yeah
Pretty good for a girl
Pretty good for a girl
I'm pretty good for a girl
I'm pretty good for a girl
Pretty good for a girl
I'm pretty good for a girl
Pretty good for a girl

Rocksteady Love
03:27
|
|||
No matter what we’re going through I’ll always be there for you
Cause we gotta rocksteady love
I found in my life
It’s true there’s a real few
That are hard to find
I saw you in a crowded room
I thought you’d never notice me
What started out like chemical
Resulted in a bonded energy
As time goes by
People drift through our lives
Although they pass through
You stood by me
And I stood by you
No matter what we’re going through
I’ll always be there for you
‘Cause we gotta rocksteady love
No matter what we’re going through
I’ll always be there for you
‘Cause we gotta rocksteady love
No matter no matter no matter no matter
What we’re going through
We gotta rocksteady love
We gotta rocksteady love
No matter no matter no matter no matter
What we’re going through
We gotta rocksteady love
We gotta rocksteady love
I remember
When you went away
People told me it wasn’t worth all the pain
Oh but people they don’t understand
They haven’t work on us like we have
As time goes by
People drift through our lives
Although they pass through
You stood by me and I stood by you
I’ll always stand beside you
Not in front or behind you
Love sharp as knife
Pierce through the enemy whoever tries to destroy you
You lit this burning flame
Deep inside my heart
Original love it’s an original love
No matter what we’re going through
I’ll always be there for you
‘Cause we gotta rocksteady love
No matter what we’re going through
I’ll always be there for you
‘Cause we gotta rocksteady love
Gotta rocksteady love
Gotta rocksteady love

Bonfire
04:04
|
|||
I was chillin' at home
My girl hit my phone and asked me
What are you doing tonight?
My ass is on lock down
This city is a ghost town
With no one or nowhere to go
I've never been so all alone
Like a tiger caged her fate unknown
But there's something that can set me free
Bonfire, party in the yard tonight
It feels like forever since we held a vibe
Bonfire, I got everything I need
And everyone I want to be here is celebrating with me
Smoke signals are calling
I hear the sound of Lisa's laugh echoing up the hill
We're grooving
Hatchet brought a guitar and Marc is beating on the drum
And Selah brought a soundsystem
We're singing so loudly, a sloppy chorus from our favorite song
There's Bobby, he's happy, squeezing the last drops out of a boxed wine bag
Throw another log on the fire and let the smoke wash my sins away
For a moment this is all that matters
This is all I need
When I feel I'm losing my mind
Like a caged up bird I'm so confined
There's something that can set me free
Bonfire, party in the yard tonight
It feels like forever since we held a vibe
Bonfire, I got everything I need
And everyone I want to be here is celebrating with me
Bonfire, party in the yard tonight
It feels like forever since we held a vibe
Bonfire, I got everything I need
And everyone I want to be here is celebrating with meBonfire, party in the yard tonight
It feels like forever since we held a vibe
Bonfire, I got everything I need
And everyone I want to be here is celebrating with me

Tropical moon was pulling me up through Norman Manley
Down by Bourboun beach, a super sweet alien sound was calling me
Echo and delay put me under a spell and zapped all my cells
We stopped at the dancehall
The soundsystem was poppin off
The drums moved my hips this way
The bass was pushing me that way
I could hear voices snicker and say that I'm a freak but I can't help it
'Cause I love
The way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
Yeah yeah yeah
Queen of the Minstrel was mixed up in a rub a dub stylee
My heartbeat was racing
I know he's playing that song for me
I snuck back into the control room and found the King of Dub
But the body guard snatched me up but before he shut the door
I shouted I love
The way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
The way you dub make my spirit go a rub a dub dub
Remind me of my very first love
Not a man not a woman but a feeling that I get
Deeper in my belly than anyone ever could get
Stop my heart and soul make me jump and prance
One more time selector get everyone up to dance
Hands on my knees working hips all around all because
You make the dub I love
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love the way you dub it
I love it I love it I love it

Fill Myself With You
03:38
|
|||
I just wanna fill myself with you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
I woke up this morning twisting and turning in your sheets
I hear you downstairs making coffee singing out of key
I don't wanna get up you
Don't wanna shower off your sweat
I wish that we could stay in bed all day
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do to keep you happy
I'd stop traffic, I'd do magic, I'd wreak havoc, nothing could stop me
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
I missed my train but I don't even care
I can't concentrate 'cause I still feel you holding me
I can't wait to get back home and turn off this stupid phone
And shut out the whole world so we can be along
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do to keep you happy
I'd fight a tiger, I'd eat a spider, touch a live wire, nothing could stop me
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
I just wanna fill myself with you
And I just can't believe what's coming over me
You turned my world around, you turned my world around
I never thought I'd find a perfect place to be
With you standing next to me, next to me
I always want you next to me
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do to keep you happy
I'd chase a tornado, climb Kilimanjaro, I'd do anything just to see you tomorrow
I'd play Atari, and even on a weekend, I'd watch LaLiga, nothing could stop me
'Cause I just wanna fill myself with you
I just wanna fill myself with you, oh baby
I just wanna fill myself with you
I just wanna fill myself with you
I just wanna fill myself with you

Wish You Well
03:17

You never knew I was your champion from the start
When you came back you tried to squeeze me out, squeeze me out
You called me and I jumped up at every single chance
To fill your vacancy
But when it came time for me to grow my wings
Your words cut me down
You like me in a box wrapped up in a bow
To take me off the shelf sometimes for your show
But on my own you put me down
I could never tell
Your mixed signals have worn me down
But I wish you well
Please don't tell me how proud you are of me
Then treat me like a threat
Your tally sheet of favors doesn't add up in the end
I rather you tell me to go and fuck off
Than play a guessing game
I'm not willing to bow down at your alter
And worship you anymore
You like me in a box wrapped up in a bow
To take me off the shelf sometimes for your show
But on my own you put me down
I could never tell
Your mixed signals have worn me down
But I wish you well
You like me in a box wrapped up in a bow
To take me off the shelf sometimes for your show
But on my own you put me down
I could never tell
Your mixed signals have worn me down
But I wish you well
You like me in a box wrapped up in a bow (Wrap me in a bow)
To take me off the shelf sometimes for your show (Put me in your show)
But on my own you put me down
I could never tell
Your mixed signals have worn me down
But I wish you well
I still wish you well

If I Could Be You
03:43
|
|||
Funny how its so easy to judge you
Dont even know you
But i got you all figured out
Like I know where you've been
Its like somebody stuck you right in my way
And gave you all the tools you need to sabotage my day
But I don't know where you've been
If I could be you for a day
What would I do
What would I say
Would I get along with or find something wrong with me?
If I could be you for a day
How would I feel
What would I do
If I could be you…
I really think you're some kind of monster
Just out to slash and burn anyone who's in your way
But where have you been?
'Cause I've had days
That I'm not so proud of
Mad at the world
When everyone was in my way
I think I know where you've been
If I could be you for a day
What would I do
What would I say
Would I get along with or find something wrong with me?
If I could be you for a day
How would I feel?
What would I do?
If I could be you…
We all go through shit sometimes
When you're up I may be down
But if I take a minute
I might realize
You never know just how much weight somebody carries
But I might understand
If I could be you for a day
What would I do
What would I say
Would I get along with or find something wrong with me?
If I could be you for a day
You for a day
If I could be you for a day
What would I do?
Would I get along with or find something wrong with me?
If I could be you for a day
If I only knew
If I could be you

Our consciousness is up
We celebrate the feminine
No separation from the masculine
But oppression won't be our kin
Demand respect
'Cause our body is our temple
The holy womb, a sacred place
That gives birth to spiritual warriors
Lift up your head empress
Let love come in
Shine your light with wisdom and confidence
Don't get distracted by ignorance
The truth is not outside of you
Look inside of you 'cause
Woman you're a queen, woman
Woman you're a queen woman
Ooh ooh
My sister is tough like a lioness
Put her to the test
She don't give a damn what they say
'Cause the haters' gonna hate
She don't donate to the bad mind way
You hear negative it never comes from me
We're too busy heavy lifting
All the women and the girls
From the west to the east
We're representing in the DMV
This is for the ladies who be writing their own song
If you're looking for us we'll be up in the studio
Don't need no man to help us do
What we do on our own
I was bumpin' tunes from the back
But then I switched up to the front
Move my bass over so you can get some
Check out Navisa on the microphone
304 is where I come from
Up in the mountains of West Virginia
Jade meets Queen Navisa
Shamans of Sound
on a Forwards riddim
Forwards riddim
Woman you're a queen, Woman
Woman you're a queen, Woman
Ooh Ooh
Woman you're a queen, Woman
Woman you're a queen, Woman
Ooh Ooh

One Moment
03:23
|

I pulled up to the reggae show
On a Saturday night
Minding my own business
And chilling on the dance floor
He came up to me and offered me a drink
Feelin really nervous
But my girl said you should go for it
I never heard a groove so nice
The band pulled up
They played it twice
Vibes so nice while he moved my waistline
To roll low with the bass line
It took me by surprise because I'm not the type
Who falls so quickly for a guy
But I dig his style
It only takes one moment
When your heart is open
You know when its right when it's right
It only takes one moment
It feels so good together
You know when its right when it's right
'Cause it feels so good together that you can never let go
I gotta call on the telephone
Momma asked Jadey when are you coming home
Momma there's one thing I need you to know
I met a boy at a reggae show
He came over and asked me for a dance
I looked in his eyes and got lost in a trance
I knew I'd never be the same
I knew that everything had changed
I felt something special when he squeezed me tight
We talked all night under moonlight
It was no coincidence, Momma
It only takes one moment
When your heart is open
You know when its right when it's right
It only takes one moment
It feels so good together
You know when its right when it's right
'Cause it feels so good together that you can never let go
It only takes one moment
When your heart is open
You know when its right when it's right
It only takes one moment
It feels so good together
You know when its right when it's right
'Cause it feels so good together that you can never let go
It only takes one moment
When your heart is open
You know when its right when it's right
It only takes one moment
It feels so good together
You know when its right when it's right
'Cause it feels so good together that you can never let go

You lit this burning flame
Deep inside my heart
Original love, its an original love
True it started like an ember
Now it burn just like a flare
Everyday pon de calendar
Me say all throughout the year
January to December, my love
For you I will declare
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Girl I will be there
No matter what we're going through
I'll always be there for you
'Cause we gotta rocksteady love
No matter what we're going through
I'll always be there for you
'Cause we gotta rocksteady love
Gotta rocksteady love
