August Town

Nananaaa nananaaa oh uhh ohhhh Nananaaa nananaaa hmn A word from the wise don't try to make life on your own Remember that Jah Jah is by your side For I was a soul who was lost and my life was in dismay For among evil forces which I played Guns and armunations where my chosen way of life With God fearing people I chose to strive For all of the lives that are taken They can never be replaced But still Jah Jah chose to remember my face Though I never lived like he wanted, I was mind full of what he thought me So now I beg and plea I'm on my bending knees coz father he rescue me I've got the scurs to show I barely made it along life's road But when my life got dark he was the only Spark he was the light at the end of road When I was young boy growing up in august town We ate from the same pot We we're idlings all around From corner to color n coner From rackers to jungle kintyer Crime scenes to traders and rivers all around Anthem the football ground became my Battlefield and my life seemed so surreal People where falling all around, But Jah helped me to stand my ground only Jah Only Jah could have helped me to stand my ground Though I never lived like he wanted I was mindful of what he thought me So now I beg and plea I'm on my bending knees God father you rescue me And I've got the scars to show I barely made it along life's road But when my life got dark he was the Only spark the light at the end of the road Oh ohhh Never lived to please him, never lived like I should Ohhhhhh ohhh oooohhhhhh Father you rescue me Oh yeah oh yeah I've lived and I've learned the mistakes along the way Now I beg for forgiveness Each day as I try to pray So take it from me son You can change the world today And I'm living proof, living proof that crime doesn't pay For I never lived like he wanted I was mindful of what he thought me So now I beg and plea i'm on my bending knees God father you rescue Me and I've got the scars to show I barely made it along life's road Coz when my life got dark he was the Only spark the light at the end of road I never lived like he wanted I was mindful of what he thought me So now I beg and plea i'm on my bending knees God father you rescue me And I've got the scars to show I barely made it along life's road As my life got dark he was the Only spark the light at the end of road I never lived never lived I never lived way he wanted me to I never lived God I tell you
