MaTan' - Kingston Lane

Pure soulful roots reggae! Lyrics : Morning rise pon Kingston sky... Another day... another try... Hear di people... Hear di cry... Still wi lift wi head up high... Jah know every heartbeat... [VERSE 1] Sun hot pon zinc roof, breeze cyaan cool di pain, Pickney barefoot walk through di dusty lane. Mama seh, "Hold faith, tomorrow haffi come," But empty pot sing louder than di drum. School bell ring but hunger louder still, Dream dem heavy like di house pon di hill. Every corner got a story fi tell, Some find heaven... Plenty know hell. [PRE-CHORUS] Every step weh wi tek, Dust pon wi shoes. Still wi nah bow, Still wi nah lose. Hold di faith, Even when di road rough. Love a di answer... Dat is enough. [CHORUS] Kingston Lane... Where di light an shadow meet. Hope still grow Through di crack inna di street. No judge di youth By di clothes dem wear. Every soul waan love... Every heart need care. [POST-CHORUS Oh-oh... Kingston call... Hear di children standing tall. Oh-oh... One by one... Every dawn bring brighter sun. Hold on... Hold strong... Jah keep di fire burning on... [VERSE 2] Night fall slow, Siren echo through di town. One likkle choice Can turn a king to clown. Big man promise, Then dem disappear. Youth lef fighting Wid dem doubt an fear. Granny pray softly By di window every night. Ask Jah fi guide Every youth to di light. Some buss out Through music an rhyme. Some still lost... Wrong place... Wrong time. [BRIDGE] No chain cyaan hold A free man's soul. Love an mercy Must be di goal. Brick by brick, Wi build again. Sun ago shine After di rain. [INSTRUMENTAL] [FINAL CHORUS] Kingston Lane... Hear di heartbeat never stop. From Trench Town road To di mountain top. One day di pickney Ago rise an shine. Wid courage inna soul, Hope inna mind. No matter How di struggle long, Jah hear every mother's song. Kingston stand... Strong an free... Tomorrow write... A new story... [OUTRO] Sun set slow... Harbour breeze... Broken hearts... Find little peace... One love... One people... One tomorrow...
