WE WONT GO  lyrics  Nat Pa'apa'a  copyright 2006

You wanna sing,
You wanna dance,
You wanna groove, well groove on,
You wanna learn,
You wanna dream,
Go on and love, yeah love on.
Hear what I say, do it your way,
Don’t get forced into lettin’ em make you change.
Do what you feel, keep it for real,
Cause you know they’ll be waitin’ to bring you down
Yeah they’re trying to change the world, see
By leading us so low,
But we’re not gonna go, see,
Yeah where they’re heading we wont go!
CHORUS:
We wont go, we wont go.
We don’t go, we wont go.
We wont go, we wont go,
We wont go, we don’t go.

C’mon and move,
C’mon and jump,
C’mon and live, live on
C’mon and yell,
C’mon and scream,
C’mon and play, yeah play on.
Say what you say, speak truth always,
Know your words have got the power to make a change.
Don’t be afraid, you’ll be okay,
They keep knockin’ but we’ll never let them in.

Yeah we see what they’re doin’, now
How could you not know?
We see that they’re headin’ down,
But we’re not gonna follow!
CHORUS

So, we’re gonna love,
We’re gonna live,
We’re gonna rise, yeah, Rise up!
We’re gonna rock on,
We’re gonna rise up,
We’re gonna shine, yeah, shine on!
We gotta play, sing it our way,
Keep on rising keep on shining like the sun,
We’re gonna groove, make the first move,
No more hiding, we go riding on and on!

Now the way to understanding, now
Is to let the people know,
See, I advocate the movement, now,
But their direction we wont go!
CHORUS   





MOMENT OF TRUTH lyrics  Nat Pa'apa'a  copyright 2008
-verse 1
There are more to these days and I want you to know, cause we’re writing the future like writing a show.
As the earth it must turn and the trees they must grow, just beyond that horizon-a mountain of hope.
See we comin’ through your cities with our stories to tell ya, we’re reaching out, you wanna join us?, we’ll let ya!
To tell the truth it’s kinda hard to forget ya, when One Loves’ the movement we’re all included.
Gotta lift, gotta run, gotta earn, gotta burn, gotta learn of this one rhythm that we’re livin’ in,
for what good is it if we don’t fit in and what truth is there to keep us real?
They’re foolin’ around with ya fire, they think it’s hot but we take it hotter.
They be knockin’ down ya door when they cant be sure, well now they know you’re not alone.

CHORUS
We wont take it no more, we wont take it no more.
We wont take it no more, we wont take it no more.

-verse 2
In the moment of truth there must come a decision,
to stand back and hide or grab hold of this vision,
If you don’t then we’re never gonna fly..
How could you know if you never give it a try?
There’s no reason to doubt when we’re willing to listen,
If we screw up this earth we shall not be forgiven,
Leaders joke but we’re running out of time,
Still they don’t want to step up to this line.
So come with us walking from shame toward glory,
Inspiring the youth to jump in on this journey,
Desiring the proof that our children are learning
To respect the world as the earth is still turning.
We’re faced with a reason to unite,
Hearts pounding in the rhythm for the time is nigh.
When a promise is made then it must be delivered,
They’ve seen our breed, we wont concede, believe it..
When they come bearing guns we make a fuss
If they nah gonna give love then they’re not with us
Say the world must be hard, the world is tough,
And you might know something but it’s not enough, so
One day I’ll call you on the telephone,
Next day I be screaming down the megaphone,
Today I spread da word pon dis microphone,
It wont be long, my word is strong.

CHORUS

Bridge:
Turn up that music, turn up that beat
Turn up that radio, riddim concrete,
You sing for freedom, we’ll sing for peace,
Turn up that music, turn up that beat…
We all got our own role to play in this destiny that is our future,
a world without hate, without war, without poverty and if somebody’s
telling you that we don’t deserve it…don’t take it, don’t take it!
CHORUS x2.

Well the lyrics for Stand Up are on the cd insert, so i typed them up, and by doing that i have more understanding of the songs, when i listen to them i can think of them more clearly, if that makes sense? I hope i have done the typing correctly, i'm not a typist as such,  so it was a mammoth task And hoping it is ok to post them here as there are some posted already in this thread. Here goes Of course the copyright  is to the respective writer/s. If i have made mistakes let me know and i'll edit the text, cool, enjoy

Come & Check Your Head

Here I come now with a story / of the human races' diminishing glory / do you think it's ok / to keep falling further from the sun? / cause while they're making their decisions / when we people speak up they don't listen / so don't you dare go and die for this system / i'm telling you that's wrong / so come and be open, come and get wise / you think they'll protect you, but don't realise / the war that they make only takes away life, eeeyeah / they'll sell you their stories and tell you what's right / promise you glory if you go and fight / but don't send their own kids to war in the night, eeeeyooo / COME AND CHECK YOUR HEAD / COME AND CHECK YOUR HEAD / AGAINST WHAT IS RIGHT / GET UP GET UP / contemplating what they're doing / situation, somethings brewing / they'll keep trying to tell us we're wrong / but we keep believing strong / so may we wake up from this slumber / like their spell we've been living under / cause this battle's about to get hotter / I feel in my heart / and next time you're waiting for something to change / instead of just sitting and wasting the day / the struggle it breathes now and calls out your name, eeeyeah / they start to betray you when thinking of one / there is no shame greater than what they have done / when all their rewards were reaped under a gun, eeeyooo / COME AND CHECK YOUR HEAD / COME AND CHECK YOUR HEAD / AGAINST WHAT IS RIGHT / GET UP GET UP / (and) I know your feel it when we talk this way / cause there is just no denying / may the world we live in now carry me today / see our colours keep on flyin', eeeyeah / so coma make your own mind and use your own eyes / you see what they're doing and know it ain't right / and there ain't nothing wrong with us wanting to fight, eeeyeah / thereis a resistance that grows everyday / from following blindly to leading the way / and it's not gonna give up 'till freedom gonna stay, eeeyooo / COME AND CHECK YOUR HEAD / COME AND CHECK YOUR HEAD / GET UP GET UP

Stand Up

HEY O, HEY O, COME LET'S JOIN OUR HNADS TONIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, WE GO STAND UP WE GO FIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, NO MORE PLAYIN' NO MORE GAMES / HEY O, HEY O, CAUSE THIS TIME THEY GONNA CHANGE / don't you want to fight / against all that is wrong and for all that is right? / I don't understand / how come man is killing man? / no more time to waste one and all gotta come and take responsibility / every woman every man, we all got our place, so stand / HEY O, HEY O, COME LET'S JOIN OUR HNADS TONIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, WE GO STAND UP WE GO FIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, NO MORE PLAYIN' NO MORE GAMES / HEY O, HEY O, CAUSE THIS TIME THEY GONNA CHANGE / don't ever forget / all the pain that is caused by the leaders of the world today / they do not regret / they would pull that shit again / what's it gonna take / before you and me can go on living our lives free? / so come lets save this day / HEY O, HEY O, COME LET'S JOIN OUR HNADS TONIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, WE GO STAND UP WE GO FIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, NO MORE PLAYIN' NO MORE GAMES / HEY O, HEY O, CAUSE THIS TIME THEY GONNA CHANGE / they're gunning and they're warring / sleazing and ignoring / lying and they're cheatin' / oh no, oh no, we catch them and defeat them / now everyone can see them / let everybody know, lets go / oh no, see them pull on me / oh no, how they've come with their guns / now they're gonna have to run / oh no, what you waiting for? Oh no, I know the time has come / and the time is today / HEY O, HEY O, COME LET'S JOIN OUR HNADS TONIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, WE GO STAND UP WE GO FIGHT / HEY O, HEY O, NO MORE PLAYIN' NO MORE GAMES / HEY O, HEY O, CAUSE THIS TIME THEY GONNA CHANGE

One Day

We used to live by the moon / walk free through the earth and the trees and gather our food / live with courage plantin' the seeds that are grown by the sun / sew the corn and reap the rewards and feed everyone / no words explain exactly how it feels / to come under the gun of greedy men / but once they target you it's as good as done / they come surround you, you've got nowhere to run / they come to take your home and use their gun / ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT FREEDOM IS / ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT FREEDOM IS / now brothers turn on brothers / leaders on their own / and they can't be working for the people if they benefit alone / still there's men and women who will follow in this age of self destruct / take the land and misuse and abuse until everything's fucked up / this system's forced on you to bring you down / it would  be wise of you to stand your ground / it seems their greed just keeps them wanting more / look at all the pain they start and shit they've caused / look at all that pain they start to stop you all /  ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT FREEDOM IS / ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT FREEDOM IS / freedom of speech / I will speak my mind / they can't stop me / i'm gonna sing it every night /  ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT FREEDOM IS / ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHAT FREEDOM IS

Don't Let Go

I know we'll make this work / I know we'll find our place / when all of our heroes are gone / it is us who must keep up the pace / remember their sacrifice, no longer shall we fall / the moment we realise there's no difference between us at all / united is how we're gonna stand / instead of fighting one another we go hold our hand in hands / divided is all they want to see / but you and I keep getting wiser and we ain't gonna let that be / AIN'T NO USE IN GIVING UP, KEEP ON TRYING / DON'T LET GO / AS LONG AS YOU KEEP WAITING, PEOPLE KEEP ON DYING / DON'T LET GO / WHAT'S THE POINT IN LETTING GO? WE CAN'T DO THAT NOW / DON'T LET GO / YOU KNOW THE WORLD IT NEEDS YOU STILL YOU TURN YOUR BACK NOW / DON'T LET GO / saying it is hard enough / moving on in here / with all the things you've done / to make us live in fear / I feel like fighting you for all the shit you said / I feel like fighting you down for making all that living dead / united come raise your voice / if you choose to use your silence then you choose to have no choice / divide those lives are led by shame / see the hopeless use division when there's no one else to blame / here we go, here we go / AIN'T NO USE IN GIVING UP, KEEP ON TRYING / DON'T LET GO / AS LONG AS YOU KEEP WAITING, PEOPLE KEEP ON DYING / DON'T LET GO / WHAT'S THE POINT IN LETTING GO? WE CAN'T DO THAT NOW / DON'T LET GO / YOU KNOW THE WORLD IT NEEDS YOU STILL YOU TURN YOUR BACK NOW / DON'T LET GO / what do you wanna see / when the future comes today? / be who you wanna be / don't go on and live life that way / with all of the lessons learnt / from all who've gone before / they stood up for the cause, there's nothing more worth fighting for / united is how we're gonna stay / and though they'll try to serarate us we ain't going down that way / divided no longer, no more / because our strength will just get stronger if we never ever let go / here we go, here we go / DON'T LET GO

We Won't Go

Water

I don't know where to stand / up on the mountain or down in the sand / 'cause I like being way up high / said I like being up, but I don't know why / but up here I can see the walls / built by man to divide us all / they've been making war and deny us peace / they took away the land and then they brought disease / those white men who've got the key / to black man's Identity / and those lands they were s'posed to be forever / they got no heart, they got no right / and if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together / WE'LL BE THE WATER, WATER, WATER / WE'LL BE THE WATER FOR THEIR FIRE / they have the tendency / to put in their pockets everything they see / they've been taking lands all across the globe / and writing down their name on every rock and stone / but it ain't no mystery / they're keeping the children from their ancestry / they lock them out of their sacred ground / well, one day i'm gonna see them pull those fences down / those white men who've got the key / to black man's identity and those lands, they wee s'posed to be forever / they got no heart, they got no right / and if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together / WE'LL BE THE WATER, WATER, WATER / WE'LL BE THE WATER FOR THEIR FIRE / now, our history is a shame to me / but I still got faith in humanity / can we swap back all the wrongs for right / and let the people walk free, every day and night / 'cause each nation has their own piece of earth that they call their home / it's a point of reference ti identify / so if you don't know where you come from, you know why / (it's those) white men who've got the key to black man's identity / and those lands, they were s'posed to be forever / they got no heart they got no right / and if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together /  WE'LL BE THE WATER, WATER, WATER / WE'LL BE THE WATER FOR THEIR FIRE

Samoa's Song

I was working runnin' round / keeping busy, spreading my sound / always moving, always on the run / all I needed was a place to lie down in the sun, in the sun / every day it come and go / I got got no chance see, to take it slow / we gotta go now, somebody said / all I wanted a place to rest my head, to rest my head / I just wanna go where my people are from / I just wanna hear them singing their songs / it's been so long / SAMOA, I'LL COME / SAMOA, I WILL COME / then one day, I woke at home / and I was chillin' out the back with everyone / when somebody put a present in my hand / my mother turned to me she smiled and she said / “it's time you go, you're going home” / and when I got there my troubles slipped away / my cousins took me to the fale where we'd stay / knowing your roots now, helps to make you whole / Magiagi Village, Samoa, what you do for my soul, for my soul / I promise I won't stay away so long i'm gonna come and sing you my songs / I wont be long / SAMOA, I'LL COME / SAMOA, I WILL COME /

Us & Them

We know they think it's easy / i'm sure it's simple in their head / but now today it calls for action / only action speaks louder than what we've said / half my people still don't know why they're not giving us the truth / I see this system fool so many / oh, don't let this system make no fool of you / OH NO EEEYO, EEEYO / see those little men running / from all those lies that they told / how can they be so disconnected / from their heart and from their soul? / so what they're giving we wont take, no / no more listen, no more trust / we do what it takes to make it / 'cause for everyone of them there's ten of us / OH NO EEEYEAH, EEEYO / see i'm telling you there's no point / in choosing leaders who pretend / but if we follow them into the pit / tell me, who's fault is it then? / aren't you worried for tomorrow? Look at what they've done to our today / so if you're gonna make a difference people stand up now / there is no other way / OH NO EEEYO, EEEYO
