Ode to Mr. Dennis Emmanuel Brown

[The song titles are in
Bold
]
Whoa oh whoa yeah,
Oh well now now
That signature melody that echoes through
Holds the audience in trance as they listen to
The
Words of wisdom
that you utter
The smoothing, soothing holla
Young people Have you ever
Heard tunes
Created by the Father
For
Love and hate
coulda never be friend
And only a true reggae fan would admit your legend
Pioneer and teacher through music
A
Victory
in every move for the righteous and the conscious
If this world were mine
I know that I would play your styles all the time
For
Love has found its way
in our hearts today
So don’t feel no way and
Let Jah music play
Dennis
What about the half
that has never been told?
Everyday People
when they
Can’t take another Day
are soothed with your
Milk and Honey
in song rasta.
As you took the
Westbound Train
and joined the
Great Kings of Africa
like
Malcolm X
. The
Beautiful places
such as
Shashamanie living
on the
Dark Continent
brings
Redemption
You warned us of the
Wolf and Leopards
who bring
Tribulation
to the
Man Next Door
in the
Tenement Yard.
For its
Death before Dishonour
for one to
Identify Yourself
with the
Raiders
who don’t
Appreciate Nature
.
Hot like a melting pot
the
Wolga Nagga Fire
will be
Breaking Down the Barriers
to
Let Love In
and ensure
No Man is an Island
in these
Armageddon
times.
Call
Cassandra
and the
Black Magic Woman
tell them don’t
Stay at Home
cause
Money’s in my pocket
and
We’re Having a Party Tonight
at the residence of the
Concrete Castle King
The
African Scientist
asked what is
The price of war
on the
Dark Continent
?
A
Prophet rides again
and took us
To the Foundation
In the little village
with the
Bubbling Fountain
where the
Children of Is
rael give
Praise without raise.
A true
your music stir
Revolution
,
Liberation, Redemption and a Sea of Love
Deliverance will come
like a
Wildfire
when the
Youthman
dem stop
The fussing and fighting
and
Buss off Head
Halfway Up, Halfway down
you kept
Sitting and Watching
them create
Nuclear Weapons
and asked
Why Fools
don't know themselves?
You sought your
Mama’s love
from the
Queen Majesty
whilst you talked about
Freedom
as long as you lived
Blood, Sweat and Tears
as
Storms are Raging
on the
Icy Road
So
Slow down woman
,
Hold on to what you got
and
Give I the love
.
Well they
Can’t keep a good man down
.
Perhaps
we’ve
Got to get ourselves together
and ask brother
Emmanuel
How could you Leave?
For you promised you won’t leave, promised you won’t hurt, promised you will never make us blue. So tell your family don't
Weep and Moan
, because you've decided to join the
Rasta Children
in Zion
Cause Dennis you’re
Unforgettable
and gave us reason to be
Moving up
,
Trod on
and carry on this works.
