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
