This one is real
Yo, a daddy rings Gentleman and Barrington Levy

We sit in Babylon a watch we round the clock
Wondering when we gonna launch and attack

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown

I've been chanting jah powers from morning
Truths and rights I man keep performing
I hear the Babylon bell how it alarming
Dem see a righteous ghetto youth and ready fi swarm him

Dem shoulda overstand the power wha jah storm bring
When it blow the whole a dem hafi go calm king
Long time we did a issue 'bout the warning
We ago hold Lucifer and disarm him

I know jah will always be there
And I know he is everywhere
Without jah where would I be
And he is the one for me you see

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down

Dem think we fool but we tell dem seh we not
Caan make no wulf come invade the flag
Nuh get caught ina no boobie trap
I and I royal natty dreadlock

Well as the sun shine and the wind blow
That's how I know that's how I know
I take a look through my window
That's how I know that's how I know

If you nuh know the truth yourself you are deceiving
Trumpet a sound
And I man is leaving
Higher ground that is where I am going
Too bless to stress can't stop me from growing

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown

I know jah will always be there
And I know he is everywhere
Without jah where would I be
And he is the one for me you see

No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound
No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound

No powers gonna hold us down
You'll never see we wearing a frown
No powers gonna hold us down
Not even dem pagan sound

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
