Declaration Riddim

[Instrumental]

Oh now, listen people, hear what I say, Every man and woman must find their own way. Jah made us free, no chains, no ties, No wicked ruler can tell us lies. So when the fire burn, and the trumpet sound, We stand as one, feet firm on the ground. No more oppression, no more pain, We rise up strong, we break these chains! So we say, no more kings, no more crowns, No more masters keepin’ us down. We got rights, Jah made it so, Freedom call, we let it flow! Dem sit up high, but they don’t see, The struggle of the people, the need to be free. We call for justice, we stand as one, No tyrant rule when the rising come. So when the fire burn, and the trumpet sound, We stand as one, feet firm on the ground. No more oppression, no more pain, We rise up strong, we break these chains! So we say, no more kings, no more crowns, No more masters keepin’ us down. We got rights, Jah made it so, Freedom call, we let it flow! Oh, life and love, we claim today, No man can take our rights away. We hold this truth, so bright, so true, We live, we love, we fight for you! No more kings, no more chains, No more suffering, no more pain. Jah give rights to me and you, Freedom call, now let it through!

[Verse] Sunshine's dancing on the sea today Waves keep whispering in a lazy way Palm trees swaying to that inner beat Feel the rhythm under my bare feet [Verse] Got no worries in this island breeze Smile as wide as these coconut trees Life’s a melody in every note Hear the music in the boatman's quote [Chorus] Let's ride the tide to another shore Find the groove and always ask for more Sing with the sun till the set is near In this paradise we got no fear [Verse] Stars light the sky as the night unfolds Stories written in the sands of gold Laughter echoes through the balmy air Every moment here becomes a prayer [Verse] Dance with the moon in a sacred trance Forget your troubles in this sweet romance Feel the magic in the ocean's breath Every sunrise bringing life from death [Chorus] Let's ride the tide to another shore Find the groove and always ask for more Sing with the sun till the set is near In this paradise we got no fear

[Verse] In the heart of New Ireland, a torch burns bright, Grand Chief Julius, your legacy takes flight. From villages to cities, you led with grace, A leader for the people, you found your place. [Verse 2] For New Ireland’s children, you paved the way, With schools and roads, brought a brighter day. Fishing docks you built, for families’ feed, You met their cries, fulfilled their need. [Chorus] Farewell to Chief Julius, we weep tonight, Your spirit remains, a guiding light. Across the land, your works remind, Of a leader true, so rare to find. [Verse 3] From coconut groves to mountains high, You spread your vision beneath the sky. Developed towns, brought light to homes, In every heart, your spirit roams. [Verse 4] In times of crisis, when hope seemed thin, Your wisdom prevailed, peace would begin. Economic growth, your lasting pride, With steady hands, you turned the tide. [Chorus] Farewell to Chief Julius, we weep tonight, Your spirit remains, a guiding light. Across the land, your works remind, Of a leader true, so rare to find.

In the heart of the city where the sun shines bright, There’s a Man named Nenefu, always shining light. With his crew by his side, they laugh and play the guitar, In a world full of shadows, they find their way. Family first, that’s the life he chose, With love for his mother, that’s the path he shows. They call him Purex, pure in heart and soul, When life gets heavy, he’s the one who makes us whole. So raise your voice, let the rhythm flow, For Nenefu Dagubi, let the good times roll. With love like a river, it’s easy to see, He’s the heart of his crew, where he’s meant to be. Purex and Politics, shining all day long, A family man first, in a world of song. Through the ups and downs, he stands tall and proud, With laughter and smiles, he lights up the crowd. In this dance of life, he takes the lead, For his boys in the struggle, he plants the seed. Some call him Purex, for he’s true blue, Others say Politics, what’s wrong or what’s true? But in every heartbeat, it’s family that rings, Together they rise, no matter the swings. In the moonlit nights when the stars align, He hears his mother’s voice, a love that’s divine. With every step forward, she’s guiding his way, Reminding him softly, to cherish each day. So when the world whispers, “Place your bets high,” He knows in his heart, it’s the love that will fly. So raise your voice, let the rhythm flow, For Nenefu, let the good times roll. With love like a river, it’s easy to see, He’s the heart of his crew, where he’s meant to be. Purex and Politics, shining all day long, A family man first, in a world of song. So here’s to the nights, and the dreams we create, With Funex and his boys, we celebrate fate. From the heart of the city, let the praises ring, Purex and Politics, forever we sing.

LSD Is the remedy When the colors bleed I can’t feel a thing DMT Is the final key Drifting endlessly Through reality Kiss me slow While the stars explode We can fall in love In the afterglow Stay with me Fading endlessly Lost in reverie You are all I see

Breathing in your poison and taking flight Leave behind the aether, bring eternal night Mysteriously untouchable, You’re beautifully inescapable! Fingers trace my skin, be my goddess Nyx Pull me deep within, come and be my fix! Pull me in your sin, let your shadows in Drown me in the night, let the pleasure begin!! Your veil surrounds me I’ll be your crowning Your shadows on my lips (Lips, lips, lips) From the moment you found me I am always drowning, But I can’t resist (I caaaannn’t resisssst!!!)
