05. Gene Machine/Don't Bother Me

Music by Bad Brains
Lyrics by Miller, Jenifer, Hudson
You wanna see me hang around
Don't bother me
You wanna know if I'll get down
Can't you see

(Gene Machine)
Stick it in
Shove it up
Are they still humans?
(Dream Machine)
With brown eyes
Brown hair
Created scientifically

You wanna see me hang around
Don't bother me
You wanna know if i get down
Oh can't you see
Come on open up your eyes
Truth is there to see
There is to be in reality

(Gene Machine)
Are they issues?
Dial-A-Gene...Buy-A-Gene
Take a second look did one just pass by way?
Gene Machine
Gene Machine

You never know one
When you see her
Quite aware
Mistaken identity
Oh. Gene Machine
Under H.I.M.
We pray not take the other

06. Don't Blow Bubbles

Music by Bad Brains
Lyrics by Miller, Jenifer, Hudson
Don't blow no bubbles
Don't blow no troubles

In time before there was no cure
Now through his will it's healed for sure
(Trash pits, Trash pits, Trash pits) Away!!
It's not the weather, we've got P.M.A.

We know you can do anything
And no thought withheld from thee
So here I beseech thee
To always request and declare

Don't blow no bubbles
Don't blow no troubles
There's got to be a better way
Don't blow no spikes
Ask Jah and he'll make the change

We know you can do anything
And no thought withheld from thee
So here I beseech thee
To always request and declare

We know you can do anything
And no thought withheld from thee
So here I beseech thee
To always request and declare

Don't blow no bubbles (and we can stop the AIDS)
Don't blow no spikes
Don't blow no fudge buns
Ask Jah and he'll make the change

We know you can do anything
And no thought withheld from thee
So here I and I said to thee
To always request and declare

07. Sheba

Music by Bad Brains
Lyrics by Miller, Hudson
Oh ancient Queen of Cush
Tale beyond compare
What faith in destiny
To gain in her story

With royal bounty
And baby in belly
Responsibilities
Edification

Oh ancient Queen of Cush
Tale beyond compare
What faith in destiny
To gain in her story

Sheba
Your love ordained in grace
His majesties
Virtue le find a place
Hidden scrolls reveal for all
To see the half that's never been told
Menelik grew to a King
Now generations pass unlinked
Who is this great mother divine?
The half that's never been told

08. Yout' Juice

Music by Bad Brains
Lyrics by Miller, Jenifer, Hudson
All the time she's looking fine
Admiration ain't no crime
Jah created her great use
Blessed with life yout' juice

Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion, yout' juice
Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion, yout' juice

Some may say baby go away
Batty Bwoi you're doomed today
Don't overreact like others do
Turn your back on someone true
Free hold on tight
It's a very short life
Call it what you may
Don't complain
All in all it's been a life boost
Blenders from Zion
Talking about yout' juice

Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion, yout' juice
Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion, yout' juice

So all the time she's looking fine
Admiration ain't no crime
Jah created her great use
Blessed with life yout' juice

Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion, yout' juice..True
Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion, yout' juice

10. Silent Tears

Music by Bad Brains
Lyrics by Jenifer, Hudson
Listen to the lock
Listen to the lock
Brandish apart
Culture in a thought
Intricately wrought
Now let's see what you got
I Lord yeah, I Lord yeah
To invoke again
Upon Jah I lean, Sir
Take away the cringe

In the sea nets are cast for most
Still don't stop, don't stop
Hyper spots and their likes with them,
Stay away from our crops

Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
What have you bought?
Open up your pot
Dem guy now fe stop
Recognize silent tears
Let the children of Zion
Be joyful in their king
Bring I soul out of prison,
That I may praise thy name

In the sea nets are cast for most
Still don't stop, don't stop
Hyper spots and their likes with them,
Stay away from our crops

Listen to the lock
Listen to the lock
Brandish apart
Culture in a thought
Intricately wrought
Now let's see what you got
I Lord yeah, I Lord yeah
To invoke again
Upon Jah I lean, Sir
Take away the cringe

11. The Prophet's Eye

Music by Bad Brains
Lyrics by Miller, Jenifer, Hudson
The Prophets eye
What did aya see
The Prophets eye

We know you sit there and see what's going on,
And take a sigh
Cause after all you done for them one still can't learn,
Nourish the land
Well if you think it's easy to give up
Then why are we still trying
Beefsteak to mistake don't beam me up Scotty
Let the words of I and I mouth be acceptable
In thy sight
And the meditation of I and I, Oh Ras Tafari

The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye

We know you sit there and see what's going on,
And take a side
Cause after all you done for them one still can't learn,
Nourish the land
Yes they're theirs, there's a brighter side
And we not going to stop till we find it,
Not going to stop till we reach
Lord
Not going to stop till we reach Zion

The Prophets eye
What did aya see
The Prophets eye

Let the words of I and I mouth be acceptable
In thy sight
And the meditation of I and I, Oh Ras Tafari

The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye

The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye
The Prophets eye
