Lyrics

I’m beginning to wonder about your intensions 
Too many instances of deception
Too many alibis and excuses 
Too many attempts to deny the abuses 
Too many reasons to complain
Too many losses too little gain
The very existence is a strain on the people

I know cause I am woman so I can see
That life don’t reside where there isn’t no harmony
And I sing cause I care and wouldn’t want anybody
That I love to be circumstanced out of existence

Yes I’m beginning to wonder about your attention 
where is it focusing in what direction
is your life force in execution 
forming opinions or finding solutions
declaring the victim, sharing the blame
representing the potential for change but only in name
then with taxation and oppression put a strain on the people

I speak what I know; Words are reserved for the truth
Not perfect but aware of the example I set for the youth
And I sing cause I care and wouldn’t want none of these sons and daughters
To go astray when I could have paved the way

Yes I’m beginning to tire of all these expenses
Borne by the people relegated to zinc fences
Keeping the resources out of their reach
Breeding frustration with the values you teach
In the media everyday then deny them a way to attain it
But force them to work and maintain it and not take a share
Then the police force the fear into the brains of the people

I know from experience that the system is flawed and unfair
So I live outside it as much as I possibly dare 
and I sing for justice in a time when the people 
may be too distracted to even care
my voice will still be there

The people have to work so hard while those with the power keep the plenty for themselves. Meaningless competition for scares resources in a material driven world. Our children have no example of integrity and industry and love. And so for these atrocities against humanity the perpetrators will have to pay.
I know from experience that the system is flawed and unfair
So I live outside it as much as I possibly dare 
and I sing for justice in a time when the people 
may be too distracted to even care
my voice will still be there

LYRICS

It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair 
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation: 
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless 
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion

will you be the one for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep looking forward and never retreat


in this jungle out there with so many limitations
set intentionally just for us to fail
with your plans in motion and standing in your power
and strength from your lioness you’re bound to prevail
the mission is for those who can endure
and wont stand for injustice and oppression no more
and the journey is for everyone to share
when the lions are leading there is nothing to fear

will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
To focus on spiritual cultivation 
and find themselves through ancient preparation

in this jungle out there some people mek the evil rule dem nature 
turning life into a rat race
and the youths dem head a burn cause the only thing they’re learning 
from those people’s how to rob you to your face
instead of giving them guidance and encouragement
you’re provoking them daily giving rise to resent
but the tension that they’re building up inside 
will find direction and purpose in the lion pride

will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

oh ‘cause it’s a jungle out there

interlude

A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
So the lionesses rise to the occasion
And nurture them with conscious meditation


It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair 
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation: 
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless 
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion

Jah9 - Avocado

Janine "Jah9" Cunningham

Old school blues improvisation meets hard hitting lyrical prowess in a rich imaginative blend of vocal clarity and complexity. Janine brings her refreshing mix of contemporary and conscious poetry to the stage and delivers a mature, sophisticated style with a unique and captivating energy all of her own. Her musical influences range from Billie Holiday and Nina Simone to Augustus Pablo and Sizzla Kalonji. 

As a singer/songwriter/activist, Janine touches on issues ranging from social injustice, violence, politics and gender to intimate matters of the heart, mind and spirit. Janine a.k.a. ‘Jah9’ has emerged from the underground poetry/live music scene relatively unknown and has earned the hearts and respect of her peers and audiences with each encounter since. 

Over the past 5 years she has been consistently and impressively making her mark on the Jamaican musical landscape, inspiring audiences and musicians alike through her songs and the live productions she has conceptualized and staged. She is now poised for heavy rotation due to her signature sound and collaborations with ace producers including Donovan Bennett of Corleon Records, Sheldon Bernard and Beres Hammond of Harmony House Music, and on her highly anticipated debut album project with Rory "Stonelove" Gilligan. The album is slated for release on February 26, 2013 but Jah9 is already in demand as a songwriter and creative director of repute. 

'Jazz on Dub’ is the sound she has created - a mix of her two favourite music forms, while infusing all expressions of the arts into her live performances. She intends to take her word sounds to the world, entertaining and inspiring all along the way. This young woman is full to the brim and pouring her heart out.
