This afternoon, a man, under an oath, said i "need" to give "the" people an album, i only keep a few friends, so i wonder and often think about who people are, when i come across them. Most talk about putting together an album, for an age or an era, yet here & now, is where i have time, so hear, if you will, a collection of headtops from today, built out of reasonings i kept for the past 3 decades ± bless up the players of Instruments • Reggae Bubblers • Artisanal:Roots Sound • Joshua:Roots •  & all the elders, who cleared a path, inspired by the example of Emperor Haile Selassie I, a true King amongst kings, my granny told me.

01 Yes I Say

Where's the dispute? a thanks from my heart, for all who think they want to hear an album from out of the Echo Hotel sound±lab, good luck with this! 

When you laugh at my singing, know i'm laughing too! I don't listen to the full song, when i find them, and every one is new, to me at least, thats a tradition i try to keep! one±take headtops ina reflection, working out abstractions! 

Tales of a day in life, born out of many, fortunate still. Love & Respect & Bless up the Players, these riddims i found in a bag of Free Jamaican Riddims... some people treasure nothing, to me, i feel like i found gold.

Earth And The Fullness
One±take headtop livicated to all Ras in Bull Bay ± JA

Hey… hymnnnnn
In the vyb, I come, and chant out, again

Friday night, the jamboree, Jah
In preparation for the Sabbath, once again
The friday night jamboree

Man and woman, and boy and girl
Come rock together, as one
As a family, three generation
Come and rock together, like the rising tide
Come and gather round, in the fire, and bide
Bide, in the love of the Lord
It’s the crown, not the cross, that we seek

Ahh, the earth, the earth is the Lords
Yes, the earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
The fullness, the fullness thereof
Earth, the earth is the Lords

One and two, three generation, come again
Form up a family, don’t follow trends, nah
Shut out all of dirty Babylon
Coming, a bitter war, in the heart of Babylon
Because you know, that her throne has fallen down
Yes ,you’ve seen that her thrones has fallen down, aye

And we’re seek the crown, not the cross
Even though it seems that all is lost

The earth, the earth is the Lords
Well, the earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
Yes, and the fullness, the fullness thereof
Ahh, the earth, the earth is the Lords

Come and share, come and love up the elder
The path that they cut, it prepared the way
For one and all to gather, all nation and all house
Come and honour their trod
Come and honour their tradition

For the earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
And, the earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof

Oh my Lord, and oh my God, and oh my Saviour
Half the story, nah, its never been told, no
And the story that they told, jt is keeping us apart
It break and destroy, all the links of our heart
We bind them up, and bind them up Jah
Bind them up, and heal them up
Go bind them up again
Cause the truth it will set all free, Jah
Yes, the truth it will set all free, aye

The earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
Yes, the earth, the earth is the Lords
The fullness, the fullness thereof

Come and rock, come and go, dance
Come and skank, like David before the Ark
Come praise up, praise up our God
Come praise up, praise up our Lord
The King of Kings, He set tradition
Its no slogan, nor no slander that I bring, when I chant

The earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
Yes, the earth, the earth is the Lords
And, the fullness, the fullness thereof
And, the fullness, the fullness thereof
The earth, the earth is the Lords

Down in Bull Bay, come and rock up
From heart, once again
Run, go, gather your enemies
And turn them into friend
It is dirty, wicked, Babylon we fight
But her throne, it has fallen down
Yes, her throne it has fallen down
Fallen down, it has fallen down
Come ,and we, all, prepare
For the Sabbath once again
Babylon your throne’s fallen down

Come and hail up the Lord our God of creation again
For, the earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
The earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof

Come and ahh we chat again
Come and all we rock again
To the living, I offer my chat, nothing gone
Ahh come again
When we rock upon the mic
We just do what we like
And hold firm the vyb of the youth again
Hold on to the vyb of the youth once again

Build them up already
Gone and build them back again
Build them up already
Man, and take them down again
Take them down, to build them up
The Lord, it was said
In the book, the book of Scripture

The earth, the earth is the Lords
Yes, the earth, the earth is the Lords
And the fullness, the fullness thereof
Yes, the fullness, the fullness thereof

We rock, rock like David
We rock out, rock out like David
It I sing, a sling and a stone
It a one shot, and knock him down
It a one shot, to knock them down
The King, wears the triple crown
And the Emperor, in, ahh, the end
The Alpha and the omega

When A Big Sound Plays
Headtop ± over Free Reggae Riddim 827

Nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah, nah nah
No more lie, no more partiality, nah
When ina the big sound, the big sound it play, Jah
No more lie, no more partiality, nah

When the big sound, the big sound it play, Jah
The people, come in and rock and sway
The King step, it’s the order of the day, Jah
When the big sound it play

When the big sound, the big sound it play, Jah
Gather them in, fae the corners of the earth
Gather them in, when the big sound it play, Jah
And live in God, once again

Ahhh, we come and we dance, like David before the ark
And we come and we dance, like David before the ark
Rock, with the timbral and we rock with the harp
The drum, the kettie, ahh, the love
The talk, talk of the town
The news, that’s speaking around

No more lie, no more partiality, nah
No more lie, no more partiality, nah
When the big sound, the big sound it play, Jah
When the big sound, the big sound it play

Gather them in, Lord, gather them in
Fae the north, east and west, gather them in
They love, when the big sound it play
Like a tree inna the wind, we sway
The King step, is the order of the day, Jah
The people, drifting away
Drift away, Lord, we drifted away
Rooted up here, in reality

The fire, it’ll dance in the night
Ahhh, appearing bright
The Sun it, ahhh, shine
Taking their glory away
And a big sound, the big sound it play, Jah
In the morning, night or in the day

Nah, no matter when the big sound it play, Jah
The people, it gathers them in
Gather them in again Jah, gather them in again
Fae the four corners, of the earth

Whether island, peninsula or continent
Culture come, in culture, yes, enculture betterment
Inna (inner) your life, Gather them in, Jah
When the big sound, the big sound it play, here
When the big sound, the big sound it play, Jah

Go, come and we rock and we sway
For the Kings step, it’s the order of the day
No matter what some do or say
Nah lie, nah no more partiality
When the big sound, the big sound it play, here
On the big sound, the big sound it play,

Come we go rock come we go skank
The Kings step, ahhh, the order of the day
A long time now, been telling you
Narrow, narrow is the way
Rasta has been telling we, narrow is the way
