Negritude
Negritude is a French word and it represents the struggle of an oppressed
people, race, fighting for liberation, not only political and economical
but also spiritual. It is a cry-out of a stifling people trying to break
the chains of bondage and oppression inflicted by Europeans with their
imperialistic aspirations.
For Ayouba, Negritude = Civil Rights Movements = Reggae. |

Song of hope, urges the repatriation of suffering souls to Zion Africa.

Like the Morning Star

Dark Ghetto
A deep dark metaphorical song. Chant a plight, the suffering and misery.
"We've been living dark
In misery
In frustration
In the ghetto

Way down ina Babylon
He is coming down
For you and for me
So don't you ever cry
Children don't cry
" |

Burning
(The main title)
Your turning away from the Lord, shall lose you,
You are like a blind in this creation,
But the light of salvation comes from within
And like the Bible says it, "No wicked shall sit in the congregation
of the righteous
"
"People have lost their faith. That's why fire is burning
" |

And when Jah time comes,
There, shall be weeping
And wailing and mashing of teeth." |

Reveillez-Vous
Wake up. Song to warn people about politicians. "Don't trust them,
for Jah is the only leader and Earth's rightful ruler." Politicians
carry the mark of the beast. Beware. |
