August town


Na Na Na Naaa Na Na Woah oh Woahh
Na Na Na Naaa Na Na

A word from the wise
don't try to make life on your own
remember that jah jah's by your side

for i was a soul who lost
and my life was in dismay
for amongst evil forces in which i played

guns and ammunition
were my chosen way of life
with God fearin people i choose to strife

for all of the lives that are taken
they can never be replaced
but still jah jah chose to remember my face

though i never lived like he wanted
i'm still mindful of what he taught me
so now i beg and plea
i'm on my bended knees
God father u rescue me
and i've got the scars to show
i barely made it along life's road
cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
he was the light at the end of the road...

when i was young boy
growin up in august town
we ate from the same pot
we were idlings all around

from corner to colour and corner
from rockers to jungle kentyre
rising to dreadhieghts and river all around

and then the footbal ground became my battlefield
and my life seems so surreal
people were fallin all around
but jah helped me to stand my ground
Only Jah, Only Jah
Coud've Helped me to stand my ground

though i never lived like he wanted
i'm still mindful of what he taught me
so now i beg and plea
i'm on my bended knees
God father u rescue me
and i've got the scars to show
i barely made it along life's road
cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
he was the light at the end of the road...

never lived to please him,
i never lived like i should
oh father you rescue me,
oh yeah, oh yeah

I've lived and I've learnt,
i've made mistakes along the way
now i beg for forgiveness,
each day as i try to pray

So take it from me son
you can change the world today
and i'm livin proof
livin proof that crime doesn't pay

though i never lived like he wanted
i'm still mindful of what he taught me
so now i beg and plea
i'm on my bended knees
God father u rescue me
and i've got the scars to show
i barely made it along life's road
cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
he was the light at the end of the road... (repeat)

I never lived (No, I never lived)
Never lived the way he wanted me too
I never lived (Lord, I tell you)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
