Sitting in your church on Sunday
Thinking who you gonna screw Monday
Who you gonna thief, who you gonna rob
Take it that me tell you
Say, you can't fool God, no..

Everyday you bawl out Jah Jah (JAH JAH)
Call yourself a dreadlocks Rasta
Terrorize the people pon your lane
cause I saw you get wicked
when you lick the coke

By his deeds shall a man be known
Man a ask you for a piece of bread you give him stone
By his deeds shall a man be known
Natty off your head and worship babylon thrown
By his deeds shall a man be known
Straighten up your livity and don't bawl down
By his deeds shall a man be known

Mister moneyman when you make moneyplan
tell me where you get your first money from
how you plant your field
how you make your deal
then come tell your pickney them fi don't smoke weed

Left your airconditioned office and gone a bar
Impress a lickle easy gal with your pretty car
When you're done she said she affi get paid
what a fret you a go fret
when you hear she have ..

chorus

Ghetto superstar what a way you reach for
Every lyrics say you have me say a bur war
How you a tell a man fi lick shot
when you never get a lick
you 'fi feel a red hot (BOOM)

If you a warrior tell me whey you fight for
and if for justice sake you put up on your lighter
but if a body did jewlery and such
remember say me tell you
say you soon get ..


BIOGRAPHY:

VC blasted onto the reggae scene in 2000 with his debut single "By His Deeds." The song was an instant success and the name "VC" soon became synonymous with a type of music dating back to the days of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Jacob Miller with echoes of VC's contemporary roots and eclectic influences.

Speaking of roots, VC, born Valton Craigie, was born in England to Jamaican parents. He moved to Jamaica at age 10 and spent years dabbling in the music industry in both the United States and Jamaica before finding his niche. He always knew he wanted to be in the music business and worked as a deejay with "Legacy" sound system in the 1980s and later at the nightclub, "Mirage." He was a sound engineer by profession and produced other artistes before eventually building up the courage to stand on the other side of the microphone.

Needless to say, VC has never looked back. The success of his hit single propelled him to perform locally on shows such as Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues, Reggae Sumfest, Rebel Salute, Bob Marley Memorial and Peter Tosh Memorial concert. The demand for him overseas has lead to tours in England, New York and Canada.

Since then VC took a hiatus to be with his newborn son and family. Still honing his craft over the years he continues to write, record and perform. He has also been busy working in the studio with such renowned musicians as Dean Frasier, Rupert Bent Jnr. and Paul Kasstik recording over 20 new tracks towards his upcoming album, including a duet with International Irish artist, Diedra Kellan.

VC is now back in full force with recently released hit singles "Judgment Day," "Rough Neck" and "Sweet Child of Mine (Joshua)." Fans can also look out for soon to be released projects with Renaissance Disco and tracks on Dig Dis, Caspa and Big Tings labels.

VC's conscious lyrics continue to give social commentary complimented by a backdrop of rich instrumentals and hard-driving beats. With his music reaching reggae lovers worldwide VC sees his role as creating music that inspires and touches people's hearts.
