Stephen Marley - Now I Know

(Verse 1)
In a gunman world
In the night him clock in at work
Marrow splash at the tool box pull
The magazine in a the two black full
And he’s watching as the days goes by
And he’s counting as his fears all die
Sleeping with the rifle cross his chest
So he never get’s a good night rest
And then he’s drunk in the morning time
And more victims have to lose their lives
The community a christian pray
Wishing that they wasn’t in a gunman world

In a gunman life
Him might not come home from work one night
So every minute matter, ignores advise
From his weeping baby mother and child
That he walk in every game he plays
So she knows he’ll meet his end one day
Some prison time will have to earn his stripe
And have to take another gunman’s life
What if a back stabber name his price
And how ironic if him dead from knife
The mount a bullet weh him put paw bwoy
Job description fi land destroy

(Chorus)
But tell me is it worth the call
If one don rise then a next one must fall
Tell me if it worth the call
Sleepless night’s and patrol old car
Tell me is it worth the call
One try smile while a next one bwal
Tell me is it worth the
Is it worth it, is it worth the call

(Verse 2)
In a gunman world
Life is so stressful
Back to school time come
Cause when a gunman work
The fee successful
And the job is well done
Then there will be a none solve crime
With no one to fill out all blank line
And public haffi hear and deaf
Informer get a cuff, caff, queff
Plus he get nervous just like you and I
Watching out if the police pass by
Cause anyday yuh hear a gunman fail
Then is either they don’t stop trail
What will it cause to make a gun man rich
How many life before a gun man switch
The truth mi want the youth dem stop ignore
Seh the majority a gunman poor

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)
And when a gunman makes choice
I wonder what goes through a gunman’s mind
And does a gunman think twice
Before him take another someone life
I wonder what it is a gunman say
To the father when a gunman pray
Does he kiss his kids to bed at night
Making sure the blanket tuck just right
Nothing no scary like a gunman’s voice
When people beg a gunman think twice

What could a scary like a gunman’s voice
When people beg a gunman think twice

(Repeat Chorus)

LYRICS:

And She didn’t know how to tell him
She was In love with a Rasta Man
Fire was burning and Burning
To let out what she was holding In

I know her story before she say it
Daddy just want her Co-operate
Find somebody that’s corporate 
Suit and Tie more appropriate
Him say him naa make him daughter stray
But reggae music she start fi play it
Ital food when she sort her plate
Militant yute wah she want fi date
And that is what she need
Marcus Garvey she start fi read
Hair stop comb and it start look neat
SO him want keep her off the street from who she with
And that be me
More than a natty head is what she see
NO lovers leap is not for me
And she nuh waa keep it a secret but she cant tell him who she sleep with


And she wants to be free 
From all this captivity 
So she’ll be who she will be
They cant tell her who she need
They cant tell her who she want  who she can’t
She talk her owner chant chart her owner path 
And follow her owner heart
Call me over her own apartment
Now as I answer the phone that’s the tone she start with
She know say she don’t fi part with 
One Like I even though so much impart it
So she haffi do her owner thing
Cause she can never live life for them
Knowing that she would look back when
To the time weh she couldn’t explain to him cause then

Distant Relatives - Patience

Damian Robert Nesta Marley, also known around the world as “Junior Gong” and more recently as “Gongzilla” was born in 1978 to parents Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.  As a young adult, he developed a passion and a gift to speak for those who cannot always speak for themselves. A self-proclaimed ‘Spiritual Revolutionary’, Damian has worked assiduously to carve his own niche in music history and to add a new perspective to the Marley legacy for the 21st century. 

At the age of 13, Damian began performing in a group called “The Shepherds” which comprised of Shiah Coore (son of Third World guitarist Cat Coore) and currently a member of his band, and Yashema Beth McGreggor, daughter of reggae singers Freddie Mcgreggor and Judy Mowatt and then began touring with his brothers, Stephen, Ky-mani, Julian and Ziggy. 

By 1996, Damian had already made his stamp as a different kind of Marley when he released his first solo album “Mr. Marley”, a heavily dancehall-influenced album produced by his brother Stephen Marley.  His second album “Halfway Tree” was released in 2001 by a major record label and showcased Damian’s unique gift for blending dancehall, reggae and hip-hop styles.  This album won Damian much recognition and remained on the Billboard Top Reggae Album Charts for 158 weeks and earned him his first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2002. 
While honored by this recognition by the global music fraternity, Damian continued to work in the studio, laying the groundwork for the tracks that would become his highly anticipated album, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The lyrics in this album presented Marley as a true spiritual revolutionary, as he used his talent to evoke a spiritual change while trying to enforce a better way of thinking.  He is described as “rhyming with the conviction of a street preacher with the intellect of a university economist”.  

Damian’s hit single “Welcome to Jamrock” was listed as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Decade by Rolling Stone, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for Welcome to Jamrock. Damian is the only Jamaican reggae artist in history to win two Grammy Awards on the same night. He is also the only reggae artist to win in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category at the Grammy Awards. The New York Times called Welcome to Jamrock the “best reggae song of the decade.” 
Welcome to Jamrock led the pathway to Damian’s critically acclaimed collaboration with Nas for 2010’s much lauded album “Distant Relatives” – a project which explored the relationships between reggae, hip-hop and Africa. The album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. USA Today referred to the album as a “potent and often provocative collaboration” and by Rolling Stone as “an Afrocentric winner.” The album debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and Number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Reggae Albums charts, with Billboard heralding the album as “a dynamic hybrid.”    

The Distant Relatives Tour kicked off in 2011 and saw Damian traveling and performing for thousands of fans all over the world, including South America, Europe, The United Kingdom, The Caribbean and North America.  

Damian continued to cross musical boundaries in 2012, as he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall” and has led to several remixes of the original version.  Damian recently released two other singles; “Set Up Shop” and  “Affairs of the Heart” which both received widespread airplay. 

Damian continues to tour with his band all over the world as a way of entertaining and healing as he continues to spread the message for those whose voices cannot be heard. He is working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music.  

Damian is currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.
