Rejoice Lyrics


Ah, me say things get bitter in the west
We haffi head to the east
Ah, you done know Sizzla Kalongi ever bless
You see it, you see it
Selassie I, ah, Prince of Peace
Tell you just be nice and live it up, me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Just be nice and live it up, me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Some fightin' for power when love lead the multitude
Every second every hour children calling out for food
They want to go to school in clean clothes and pretty shoes
Give us now because mama say promise is a comfort to a fool
Teach them to love them one another
Love stop them from killing of each other
Follow the words of your fathers and your mothers
To hurt yourself, I tell you don't you bother, hey
Just be nice and live it up, mi nah lie

Rejoice and praise King Selassie I
I tell you just be nice and live it up, mi nah lie
Even though we taught them nah cry
The word is out, how dem so hype dem friend
Ah tell dem things and from foreign
Dem glad dem friend ah send them things
Ey youth be humble don't bad mind dem things
You work for what you want that's the powers of the King okay
Poor people facing things such bad position
Don't you worry, most high will make your provision
Dem hungry and them dirty, Hey look how mi [unverified]
So mi know say mi strong
Tell them say rejoice and praise Rastafari
Just be nice and live it up, mi nah lie
Just be nice tell you say ah more life
Burn out them war and strife
Tell you say and live it up, mi nah lie
Rejoice and hail Rastafari
Just be nice and live it up mi nah lie

Mama tell me that is bad, some don't have nuttin fi eat
So dem go loot and rob, I rather trod for east
And satisfy with the little weh mi have

Just be nice Kalonji say ah more life

I tell you say be nice and live it up, be nice
Never give it up, be nice, positive it up okay
Some fightin for power when love lead the multitude
Every second every hour childern callin out for food
They want to go to school in clean clothes and pretty shoes
Give us now because mama say promise is a comfort to a fool
Teach them to love them one another
Love stop them from killing of each other
To hurt yourself, I tell you don't you bother
Follow the principle of the ancient
Fore-fathers and your mothers
Be nice and live it up, we nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Be nice and live it up, we nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari

Friends Forever is a Denver, Colorado noise-rock trio. Playing out of a traveling venue (a VW Van), they performed 'Stadium-Inspired' live sets on street corners throughout the United States.

Originally a two-piece, bass and drums, their exploits were catalogued in the documentary film Friend Forever directed by Ben Wolfinsohn. The film shows them, with a sad, grim determination, playing for pathetically small crowds in parking lots and street corners out of a VW Van. In the film their performances went something like this:
Show up to the venue/parking lot in the afternoon to get a parking space in front. Set up the drum set in the back, an amplifier with bass in the front. Hook up all the lighting, smoke machine, lasers, etc. Play 15 minutes of noisy rock music.

In 2003 they added a third member on keyboards and released an album on Load Records entitled KillBall. Dedicated to John Elway, the album was a noise rock tribute to sports detailing a fictional game played in the future that is somewhat like American football but taken to the extremes of violence.

In 2005 the band called it quits. They were soon replaced by the short lived Josh Taylor's Friends Forever which had none of the prior members. Josh Taylor is now playing in Foot Village and lives in Los Angeles California. Read more on Last.fm.
