August Town Lyrics


Duane Stephenson August Town


Na Na Na Naaa Na Na Woah oh Woahh
Na Na Na Naaa Na Na


A word from the wise
don't try to make life on your own
remember that jah jah by your side
for i was a soul who lost and my life
was in dismay
for amongst evil forces in which i came
guns and ammunition were my chosen way of life
with God fearin people i choose to strive
for all of the lives that are take they can never be
replaced
but still jah jah chose to remember my face

Chorus:
though i never lived like he wanted
i was mindful of what he though me
so now i beg and plead i'm on my bended knees
cause father u rescue me
and i've got the scares to show i barely made it along
life's road
cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
he was the light at the end of the road...


Verse 2
when i was young boy growin up in august town
we ate from the same pot we were idlings all around
from corner to colour and corner
from rockers to jungle kentyre
rising to dreadhieghts and river all around
and then the footbal ground became my battlefield
and my life was so surreal
people were fallin all around
but jah helped me to stand my ground
Only Jah, Only Jah Coud've Helped me to stand my ground

Chorus......

So now take it from me son
you can change the world today
cause livin proof
livin proof that crime doesn't pay

though i never lived like......
Chorus rotates...

Song ends
