“Season Of Hope”
(c) 1992 Keith Thompson/Jamlure International, all rights reserved BMI.
I was a good boy, made the grade, worked hard in school.
They promised me a college education would make life's finances cool.
Then there was Joe, who lived in Ole E bottles on the back of the school bus.
Eventually, he dropped out and then down without a care or fuss.
But see, I hunted jobs, months in, days out. Found the promise was a lie. I wound up selling fast food. Living a slow life. Saw the hope in me die.
So come!
Hard to find a job. Easy to get a gun. Join the right mob and put my life on the run.
Bullets dem a fly. Babies dem a cry. My head's pounding 'cause my life is a lie.
Where is my season of hope you promised me?
- (Babylon mi
wan fi know)
We need happy days of our own. Can't you see?
- (Jah man, jah man, jah man)
Where is that season of hope? We're so in need.
- (Betta know)
We need relief from the storm or there'll be no peace.
- (So come, so come, some come, gwaan)
Where, ahh, is that season of hope for you and for me?
Where is that season of hope? We need happy days of our own.
I was a good boy, on the job, worked like a fool.
They promised me sure success if I played by the rules.
Then the day came, ahh, when I learned the score.
There's a job ceiling, don't ya know, and it's at ground floor.
Now there's Joe livin' the life; big mac daddy. He's go those custom benz. They say he's pushin rock. But I thought crime didn't pay?
Brother, where is your sense?
So, come, follow me now!
Hard fi find a job. Easy fi get a gun. Join di right mob and put mi life pon the run.
Bullets dem a fly. Babies dem a cry. My head's pounding 'cause my life is a lie.
Come again, come again!
Hard fi find a job. Easy fi get a gun. Join di right mob and put mi life pon the run.
Bullets dem a FLY Babies dem a CRY. My head's pounding 'cause my life is a lie.
Where is my season of hope you promised? Hey, hey?
- (Babylon mi ha fi know)
We need happy days of our own. Can't you see?
- (Jah man, jah man, jah man)
Where is that season of hope? We're so in need.
- (Come now, come now)
We need relief from the storm or there'll be no peace.
- (Betta know!)
Where, ahh, is that season of hope for you and for me?
(Ease off)
Oohh--- Where is that season of hope?
Where's you'rs and mine - (Tell dem!)
Tell you mother - (Tell dem!)
Your father - (Say wha?)
Your sister - (Come again)
Your brother – (School dem)
There'll be no peace until there's ---
a season – (Teach dem)
of hope, eh hey, ah, for you – (um huh)
and me – (Again),
oo woo – (Tell dem)
woo ,woo – (Gwaan!)
Hard to find a life. - (Talk to dem!)
Easy to get a gun. - (Betta know)
Join the right crew. Put my life, put my life, on the run---
Young babies are crying – (Mercy!)
and the bullets are flyin. – (Move ya!)
I need a, you need a, season. Of hope. Some hope.
