about

Facts is written giving a view into the life of the artist. It is, as the title says, a collection of facts. Through adversity, through struggle, consequences of actions, actions of others this artist will not give in! It was written and produced to have a true reggae feel where the audience is not so much a listener but a member of the band.

lyrics

What due to Cesar, give it to Cesar
What due to mighty Jah Jah, give him his praises (praises)
How long shall we suffer (suffer)
While things getting tougher (tougher)
You pray on the weak who show no defence, taking the life of the un willing
Still I won' t give in, still I won't give in

I'll go where I want to go (want to go)
With my knotty dreadlocks (knotty dreadlocks)
I wont change my position (oh no)
I'm solid as a rock (solid as a rock)
When me broke down in the nitty gritty
Can't find nothing to feed me pickney
so me have to touch the street and go lookey lookey
these are the lives that we live in the inner city
still I won' t give in, still I won't give in

It no matter if we white or we black
they want to put me potential in a box
so Zillian come with some real facts
them take way everything and want treat me like crap
financial crisis leaves us with no choices
this is the reality for the children
Jah Rastafari life were living

Ya, the almighty Jah, Rastafari

Music, is the reality I'm living
Music is the legacy I'm leaving
