Music: Stinging Ray/SGMRecords
Rest In Power Star (R.I.E.P Jackson Turner)
Intro :
«You know music just speaks to me, I don’t know how else to explain it. I grew up loving music. When I went to China, on the one hand it was like an attempt for me to start over, you know what I mean ? But on the other hand it was a whole new world to explore.» -- Jackson Turner
Verse General Huge
A force of nature
Brother Jackson you inspired us
Always ready to travel the world
And yet you constructs
A family, a brotherhood
That you leave in your furrow
« Your shine on» is raining along with our sorrow
Your poetry will always stay «deep within our soul »
Consciousness, body and mind you always control
Fun times
Never the last one to crack a few jokes
But right now let me tell you
«Hard to see where to go »
Come «one day » maybe closer than you thought
We’ll «face the morning sun » together my bro
«Growing up in this world» is not easy I know
But «I’ll lead my way »
Like you used to say «let’s roll»
Always chilling
But a fireball pon the mic
You took it seriously
When it came to the art
Getting in the charts
While Reggae touching your heart
These conversations till the morning light
Rest in Power star
CHORUS
Oh oh oh oh
Rest In Power Star (transcend transcend)
Oh oh oh oh
Rest In Power Star (see you on the other side)
Oh oh oh oh
Rest In Power Star (Jackson Turner)
Oh oh oh oh
Rest In Power Star (transcend transcend)
Verse Apex Zero
We met thousands of miles away from each of our homes
Born on different continents but walked the same road
The long journey to freedom
Our victories could see them
Just over horizons
Kept on striding
Ever striving
Never knowing we were family on the first day we met
Grew a truer brotherhood through ways we represent
The Culture, the Spirit, the Ancestors, the People dem
Born with blood of colonists but fought against the evil dem
With everything you had
In everything you did
You gave all you could give
This life you truly lived
Man murdered mics and man shut down tracks
Trekked the Earth with triumphant stamps
Learning from every journey you made
Burning down every stage that you played
Music Souljah
Seeker of Truth
Rolling stone with a moving roof
Still found ways to put down roots
In the hearts of the fam you loved and grew
Saw the world from Staten Island to Indo-China
Face the Morning Sun Iyah
You lived an Intifada
Chorus
Verse 3 Dan E
And I don't know if you can hear me no more
The light ain't glowing and I don't know where you are
And I don't know if we can stage no more
The sounds were a space, and you know you were a shining star
And I know you're far, well I know you're gone
When we loose someone so beautiful
We look for the window where they used to be
Jackson, my friend,
I couldn't have never thought it'd be the end
Always looking forward till we meet the situation bend
Negative to positive until we see reflecting within the shade
Never had doubt, family or friend why do we pretend
Take away my wealth and my identity, that would help
Take away with me my memories and tell me that would help
I know that you did your best to play the cause that you've been dealt
And for that you'll always be a king in your kingdom my friend
Verse 3 Stinging Ray
I know, Jah will be by your side
But no one can save me from my sorrow
When the rain is pouring down my face
I can't tell you which drop is my tear
Life is not easy
Some people are gone
Brother believe me
We'll keep moving on
To be a bright star
In the dark sky
Give us a light
And forgive my cry
Forgive my cry
