better than pseudo intellectual rants about the "system" or whatever crap you listen to and Lyrics that pretend to be deep.
You've never heard any reagge, have you?
There's nothing deep about reggae lyrics. They are simple words, describing simple world, simple hopes. Sometimes simple things like making love to the woman. Nothing pseudo-intellectual there.
Lyrics which "pretend to be deep":
*Spinning cages for her pleasure weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailer all on fire and then he dies
Eat your heart out you've been a bad bad girl you've been hungry all of your life yeah
We speed across emotions and then we lose our hold
We turn on wings of passion that we can't control no
And all the promises of springtime turned to lies so cold
But I'm stronger than you know and I've come to let you go
Go eat your heart out you've been a bad bad girl you've been hungry all of your life so eat your heart out *
(DIO)
Lyrics which don't pretend anything: Because punauny to mek yuh happy
Punauny to mek yuh sad
Punauny it ave a owna but it dont wear a tag
Punauny inna panty nuh wear inna bag
Wi nuh bow to punauny it nuh wear a military badge
Yuh get inna punauny dat can swalla a hog
Stand up and work mi fren nuh gwaan like a cowad
Put har foot upon yuh shoulda raise punauny high like a flag
Skin it out wide an kill it wid stab
Punauny come here to wash by soap an rag
If yuh nuh wash di punauny good it stinka dan dead hog
(Shabba Ranks)
You should've listened to Stravinsky then.
