LYRICS:

If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle 
If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle 

When times get hard
And the ting move slow
There’s no guarantee I’ll see tomorrow 
I gotta get it any way any how
I can’t wait said I need it right now
The world stand still but the wind still a blow
For every yes there been a thousand no’s 
And persistence is the only way to grow
Gotta do it on my own

If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle 
If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle 

If you want it done right do it yourself that what they all say
But I thought that two heads was better
If you wanna go fast go alone
If you wanna go far go together
Who should I listen to
Cuz that’s two different point of view
They both make sense still theres only one thing to do

If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle 
If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle

Ya know it seems like its all I can do
To keep my head above water yeah it is true
That I live a life of comfort I’m a free man
But sometimes I hold the world in these hands
I sit and list my faults and demand
That I be a better human too many to stand seems
Impossible probably unattainable
Maybe there’s just too many mouths to feed at my table
But I’m never gonna give up never giving in
I’ll fight ’til the end I keep on living
If I have to do it all myself
No I won’t rely on anyone else

If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle 
If I want it done right I do it myself
It’s dependent on me and nobody else
Yeah I gotta make ends meet
Somewhere in the middle
And the chips always fall
Somewhere in the middle

The Elovaters - Sensimilla | Cali Roots Riddim 2020 (Produced by Collie Buddz)

Some classic Wailing Souls to go along with the release of their brand new single, "Shark Attack" feat. Alborosie.

For a deeper dive into the Wailing Souls, visit their Reggae Icons playlist on the Greensleeves Spotify page:

...

Wailing Souls are standard bearers and among the few active surviving elder statesmen from the birth and the golden era of reggae music. 

With a career spanning more than five decades, from rock steady through reggae to dancehall and beyond, their canon is part of the soundtrack of Jamaica itself. Songs including “Fire House Rock,” “Jah Jah Give Us Life,” “Mr. Fire Coal Man,” and “Shark Attack” mark creative high points in reggae history.
 
With the 2020 release of Back A Yard, produced by Alborosie, the group marks 25 albums in a career that includes three Grammy Award nominations for Best Reggae Album, and a pioneering 1992 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Pipe and Bread’s creative history dates to Jamaica’s rock steady days in a group called The Renegades with George Haye. A number of name changes would take place into the 1970s, while they would first use the name Wailing Souls for a track called “Gold Digger” for producer Lloyd Daley in 1970. At that time, Pipe and Bread were joined by Norman “Fats D” Davis and Oswald “Sabu” Downer. With this lineup, the group also made a series of key recordings for Coxson Dodd’s iconic Studio One label, which included “Mr. Fire Coal Man,” “Back Out,” and “Things & Time.” These recordings either credited Wailing Souls or The Classics.
 
The group’s close association with Bob Marley & The Wailers during this era included singing harmony on Marley’s “Trench Town Rock” and seeing two tracks released on Marley’s Tuff Gong label in 1972, as Pipe & The Pipers.
 
While the Souls have worked with many record labels over the years, including Island, Columbia, and BMG, many associate their greatest recordings with Greensleeves Records and a series of albums including Fire House Rock, Inchpinchers, On The Rocks, and Stranded. During this period, the group was known for its four-part harmonies that included George “Buddy” Haye and Garth Dennis, formerly (and subsequently) of Black Uhuru. They were both in the group from 1976-1985, starting with the update of “Things & Time.”

With Back A Yard, Wailing Souls further solidify their place among Jamaican music’s all-time greats.

Shark Attack (feat. Alborosie)

Wailing Souls feat. Alborosie - Shark Attack

“There are plenty of American reggae acts… but none of them as genuine as Bobby Hustle. Built on a broad knowledge of reggae and dancehall music, Bobby’s authenticity is most impressive because it is self-taught and born of a true passion for a genre that most Americans only know through Bob Marley’s ubiquitous Legend CD.” – Dan Dabber, Reggaeville.com

Seattle, Washington-born reggae songwriter and performer, now residing and recording in Los Angeles. His story and sound are like no one else's!

Bobby was first exposed to Jamaican-style music in middle school when he became fascinated by the island rhythms being re-purposed by third wave ska bands like Sublime, Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish. His adolescent interest in that sound eventually led him straight to the source and he quickly discovered that Jamaica had a lot more to offer than just ska. He began to explore reggae crafted by Jamaican artists who were popular at the end of the 90s – artists like Anthony B, Capleton, and Sizzla – and he quickly became obsessed. He scoured the Emerald City for any reggae record he could get his hands on, hoping to soak up as much Jamaican music, dialect, and culture as he could.

In 2010, Bobby Hustle began voicing reggae productions and, true to his name, he has worked industriously for labels from all over the world. In addition to his home camp, Loud City Music, he has written and recorded songs for many prominent outfits like the bicoastal American crew, Lustre Kings Productions, and German super-group, Jugglerz Records. Since his debut EP, Always On The Hustle, in 2011, Bobby has released five mixtapes, five more EPs and a full length album, It’s The Hustle. In his thirteen year career, Bobby Hustle has contributed songs to over 60 different riddim releases and collaborated with some of the best reggae artists in the world, including the iconic Sizzla Kalonji, prolific artists like Lutan Fyah, Mikey General, Cali P, Collie Buddz, The Movement, Josh Heinrichs and Skillinjah.

All of Bobby’s hard work has given him exposure, and he has built a following from all over the world. Bobby’s music has taken him to places like Japan, Russia, Germany and Italy. He has performed opening duties for crucial reggae artists like Gappy Ranks, Konshens, Protoje, Mr. Vegas and Third World just to name a few. But his success has not come without obstacles, most notably, a two year stay in Costa Rica beginning in 2016, where Bobby awaited trial for a drug trafficking charge that resulted from a misunderstanding while he was on tour. Determined to fight the charge, he refused to accept a plea deal that would have given him a lighter sentence. Bobby knew he was innocent and decided that he would do everything in his power to keep his freedom. After 22 months there, he was found not guilty of all charges and he was able to return to his friends and family in Seattle in December of 2017.

After his return to the US in 2018, Bobby relocated to Los Angeles. His EP, Wolaba Vibes: The Costa Rica Sessions, a collection of songs he recorded while in Costa Rica, came out in May 2019. In December 2019, he renewed his passport and performed two shows in Israel, making his first trip abroad since his trial in Costa Rica. Little did he know, just a few months later he'd be stuck in one place again...

Lockdown didn't stop him. During the height of the pandemic in 2020, Hustle dropped 19 songs including, “As Good As It Seems”. The song was featured on Spotify’s editorial playlist “Sunshine Reggae”, now with over 2.5 million streams on the platform. In 2021, Bobby continued his pattern of frequent releases by offering up two EPs, Side Hustle and The Right Place, as well as a host of singles.

2022 brought new opportunities for the Hustle. Just as live show restrictions began to lift in Southern California, Bobby started his new band and throughout the latter half of the year, they began to perform regularly throughout the region.

Since the Covid restrictions have now officially been lifted, Bobby Hustle is getting back on the road nationally and internationally. Whether he performs with his backing band or with his DJ, Yungg Trip, one thing for certain is Bobby's undeniable stage presence and his love for the craft of entertaining. So make sure you don't miss the opportunity to see this rising star on a stage near you!!!
