the context of the song was jamaica in 1980s, the law of the jungle ruled. It was like the wild west. the government (security forces) had to adopt draconian measures to curb gun crimes. He sing about the actions of the police and military which was hardly distinguishable from the outlaws. used to see Prophet cooling out with a little light skinned chick by the metcalf road area of maxfield avenue. this was reality believe me!!!!!

@kenslyd oh plz. 1.6 million troops from 26 nation apart of the coalition in the war against the Taliban with their sufisticated weapons and they could not defeat a bunch of hill bush dessert men. Could you imagine if it was 1.6 million middleeast troops against the KKK I am sure they would win. This one of the greatest reggea tune sung
Does anybody know a song, where the singer sings: ' My woman left me cause I have no money, no money'... ? It is sung over a wicked roots rockers riddim. I believe the singer is Michael Prophet but Im not certain.
I would appreciate any information about this tune.
my list of great reggae labels goes ....................1- studio one .2- treasure isle. 3-VOLCANO. nuff respect to junjo still. volcano - the last of the heavyweights
I just love this tune. I remember back in the day anytime I go dance, I'm asking the DJ's to drop this one. Dunno why they always seemed surprised; think it was cos I'm a woman. Big tune with a wicked bass line.
This song brings back alot of memories of the politcal violence of the early 80's,gunmen back then didnt realy hurt women and children, now its so different
Awesome rhythmn track which suits Michael's voice to a t. He made a few notable albums with Junjo Laws - namely the from which this song is taken from and his "Righteous Are The Conqueror" One of the best reggae artists of early 80s.
Why does reggae get such a fight when it is at its best? Thanks for posting.
@skankinstePPa Then he say something with: me cry ohoo people are go feel it? they shout ohhoo me alaa reveal it.. Yeaah wooj etc. It was the seen of my live and me open my eyes that i can see what is over me It was the seen of my live and me open my eyes i say weed? oh weed? me cry oho people are go feel it? they shout oho me ala reveal it.. Yeaah wooj etc. etc Because the word is i live and know what to do, listen to me while i say to you: ? Even when they listen to the headline news(?)

For REAL! He said he saw guns and BAYONETS?
I think he probably saw guns and cutlass or MACHET'E! However he probably
saw a LOT more than that including his "life" flash before his EYES!
Remember this tune is based upon a REAL event and converted into lyrics for
entertainment. So if bayonets weren't fixed to the rifles don't watch nutten!
