Feel Irie
Lucky Dube · Life & Times [2012]
How long shall you carry that burden on your shoulders
How long shall those tears keep running down your beautiful face?
We all have troubles now and then, know what i'm saying.
No matter how hard you try trouble will find us one way or the other
People had troubles since the pope was an althar boy,
people had worries from when the dead sea was only critical
Hear those drums rolling and listen to those guitars skanking
CHORUS
Put a smile on your face don't let the troubles get you down..shoop shoop doooo
Let me tell you how it feels ... we feel irie...irie we feel irie.......irie...we feel irie..irie
we feel so irie...irie
Do you feel like we do? (tell me) do you feel like we do? (I say) do you feel like we do?
No man can hide from his fears since they are part of him they always know where to find him.
Come on walk tall and keep your head high. I tell you again and again...
CHORUS
How long shall those tears keep running down your beautiful face?
We all have troubles now and then, know what i'm saying.
No matter how hard you try trouble will find us one way or the other
People had troubles since the pope was an althar boy,
people had worries from when the dead sea was only critical
Hear those drums rolling and listen to those guitars skanking
CHORUS
Put a smile on your face don't let the troubles get you down..shoop shoop doooo
Let me tell you how it feels ... we feel irie...irie we feel irie.......irie...we feel irie..irie
we feel so irie...irie
Do you feel like we do? (tell me) do you feel like we do? (I say) do you feel like we do?
No man can hide from his fears since they are part of him they always know where to find him.
Come on walk tall and keep your head high. I tell you again and again...
