In letzter Zeit höre ich wieder etwas mehr Reggae und ein netter Leser hat mir ein Mixtape als mp3 geschickt. Up to date bin ich in dem Bereich lange nicht mehr. Nach ca. 70 Minuten kam ein Lied, deren Sängerin ich gestern ausfindig machen konnte: Etana. Sehr entspannte Musik.

Chillen nach dem Klick.

Lyrics zu Etana – I´m not afraid

I see them coming after my soul
Wanting to take control
Wanna give me rocks, wanna give me bling
Wanna give me all the material things
I hear dem talking bout what the world has to offer, girl what you doing don’t you see
What they have done to Bed-ward & Marcus, Jesus and all of the Prophets

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
If dem a come let them come cause I’m protected by the most high one

They don’t mind when you fall behind and can’t pay your bills on time
Prostituting and standing in a dem government line no
And they don’t mind when you waste your time coming up with some stupid line
Influencing the youth dem fi snort a line or take a life
And they don’t mind when you locked up in jail can’t get no bail sentence fi life
You can’t see you youth dem strive but they don’t mind

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
If dem a come let them come cause I am protected by the most high one

Hey A
Don’t be foolish
Thinking they don’t know your name

I see them coming after my soul
Wanted to take control
Wanna give me rocks, wanna give me bling
Wanna give me all the material things
I hear dem talking bout what the world has to offer, girl what you doing don’t you see
What they have done to Bed-ward & Marcus, Jesus and all of the Profits

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
No I am not afraid
If dem a come let them come cause I am protected by the most one

Etana hat für mich eine der besten weiblichen Stimmen im Reggae Bereich. Unfassbar gut.
