DESMOND DEKKER - YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succed at last

Persecution you must fear
Win or lose the battle get your share
I got your mind set on a dream
You can get it the hard it may seem

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succed at last

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the harder the battle you see
Is the sweeter the victory

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succed at last

Blackhead Chineman (Campbell)
-----------------------------
You done stole my belongings and give to your chineman
God in heaven knows, he knows that you are wrong
Are you a chineman, are you a black man?
You don't need no eyeglass to see that your skin is black

Do you prefer your chineman to your fellow black man?
Speak up, friend, it's plain to understand
It won't be very long, they'll have a change of plan
To use you, use you and use you, then refuse you

Because you're the first blackhead chineman
I did not know your foreparents were from Hong Kong
Every man has a right to where he belongs
So declare yourself and tell me where you are from

Because you're the first blackhead chineman

So when you're pointing your finger at me
Remember four of them pointing at you, so

Clean up your house before you start to talk about mine

So when you're pointing your finger at me

God Son (Campbell)
------------------
God son take heed to the laws of thy father
As Moses did in the days of yore
Honor thy mother and thy father
Then your days will be long upon this land

Thou shall not kill, neither shall thou steal
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house
Nor his wife, nor his house, nor his ass

Thou shall not take the name of the lord God in vain
Only six days shall thou work
This keep the seventh holy

Thou shall not have any other gods before Him
And mercy will come to them that love Him
Don't bow down thyself to any other
Because my god is a jealous god
----------------------
Hard Man Fe Dead (Campbell)
----------------------------------
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back, what a hard man fe dead
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back, what a hard man fe dead

Dem say that the cat got nine lives
Well this man got ninety-nine lives
Because you pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back, what a hard man fe dead

Then while one caught a chocolate tea
And all the fried fish they caught in the sea
They also got six quarts of rum
Saying that they're waiting for the ninth life to come

The last time I heard them say that this man was dead
Dem buy a block of ice and them lay it all upon his head
Now the procession leads to the cemetery
The man holler out "Don't you bury me!"
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back, what a hard man fe dead

Then while one caught a chocolate tea
And all the fried fish they caught in the sea
They also got six quarts of rum
Saying that they're waiting for the ninth life to come

The last time I heard them say that this man was dead
Dem buy a block of ice and them lay it all upon his head
You should see them going to the cemetery
The old man holler out "Don't you bury me!"
Them drop the box and run
What a whole lot of fun, what a hard man fe dead

You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back, what a hard man fe dead
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back, I am a hard man fe dead

Rough Rider (Campbell)
----------------------
She was a rough rider
A cool stroker
A strong whiner
I had a hard night
I had a hard night
I had a hard night
Last night
Last night

I feel so broke up today
I feel so broke up today
Lord, I feel so mash up today
She was a strong whiner
A rough rider
She whiney whiney, last night

I don't know what you'd say if you saw me yesterday
But I know what you'd say if you see for me today
She was a strong whiner
A rough rider
She whiney whiney
Last night

She chop di wood
Last night
Me wore me brush
Tonight
I said me wore me brush
Tonight...

Ten Commandments (From Man To Woman) [Campbell]
-----------------------------------------------
The Ten Commandments from man given to woman
Through the inspiration of I, Prince Buster

One, thou shall have no other man but me

Two, thou shall not encourage no man to make love to you
Neither kiss nor caress you
For I am your man, a very jealous man
And is ready to lay low any other man that may intrude in our love

Three, remember to kiss and caress me
Honor and obey me, in my every whim and fancy
Seven days a week and twice on Sundays
Because at no time will I ever be tired of I-T, it
Honor my name so that every other woman may honor it also

Five, thou shall not provoke me to anger
Or my wrath will descend upon you heavily

Commandment Six, thou shall not search my pockets at night
Or annoy me with your hearsays

Commandment Seven, thou shall not shout my name in the streets
If I'm walking with another woman
But wait intelligently until I come home
Then we both can have it out decently
For I am your man, a funny man
And detest a scandal in public places

Commandment Eight, thou shall not drink, nor smoke
Nor use profane language
For those bad habits I will not stand for

Nine, thou shall not committ adultery
For the world will not hold me guilty if I commit
Murder

Ten, thou shall not covet thy neighbor's dress
Nor her shoes, nor her bureau, nor her bed, nor her hat
Nor anything that's hers
Neither shall thou call my attention to anything that may be for sale
In any stores, for I will not give thee anything but what
You actually need for your purpose

Those are the Ten Commandments given from man to woman
By me, Prince Buster

Thirty Pieces Of Silver (Campbell)
