August Town lyrics with English Translations
Nananana, na, na
Whoa oh
Nananana, na, na
A word from the wise, don't try to make life on your own Remember that Jah Jah's by your side For I was a soul who was lost And my life was in dismay For among evil forces in which I came, yeah - uh Guns and ammunition, were 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'm still mindful of what He taught me So now I beg and plead, I'm on my bending knees I've got the scars to show I barely made it along life's road He was the light at the end of the road
When I was a young boy, growing up in August Town We ate from the same pot, we were I-drens all around From corner to colour and corner From Rockers to Jungle Kintyre Rising to dread heights and river all around, yeah And then the football ground became a battlefield And my life seem so surreal People were 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 taught me So now I beg and plead, I'm on my bending knees And I've got the scars to show Barely made it along life's road The light at the end of the road
Oh, oh Never lived to please Him I never lived like I should Oh oh, oh oh oh oh Father, You rescued me Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've lived and I've learned I've made 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 taught me So now I beg and plead, I'm on my bending knees And I've got the scars to show I barely made it along life's road The light at the end of the road
I never lived like He wanted I was mindful of what He taught me So now I beg and plead, I'm on my bending knees And I've got the scars to show I barely made it along life's road The light at the end of the road
Though I never lived like He wanted I was mindful of what He taught me I'm on my bending knees, I ask the Father please Father, You rescued me And I've got the scars to show Barely made it along life's road As my life got dark, He was the only spark The light at the end of the road
I never lived, never lived I never lived, the way He wanted me to I never lived... Lord, I tell You Now I'm practising my religion Scars to show...
