Marlon Asher
Amsterdam - original mix
Alright, Marlon Asher are you ready to sing with me
I'll introduce myself my name is Leah
From the eastside of Amsterdam I send my love into the land, man
Trying to reach the youth by telling them the truth, I hope it gets understood
From the eastside of Amsterdam me say I will trouble no one man
Trying to reach the youth: turn off your television if you wanna hear the truth
I'm calling to the youth, it's high time you know the truth
Stop providing the world with something to say about you
Yes your war and your crimes, you violence will take you nowhere
I'm telling you my youth it's high time you learn to pray
From the eastside of Amsterdam I send my love into the land, man
Trying to reach the youth by telling them the truth, I hope it gets understood
From the eastside of Amsterdam me say I will trouble no one man
Trying to reach the youth: turn off your television if you wanna hear the truth
Ey man, we ram this jam and if you stlll don't know where I'm from
Let me say it again I come from a town called Amsterdam
Where when the going gets tough it will keep you going
Allow the love in your heart to keep on growing
Live, love, hope and care for the people around you always be there
From the eastside of Amsterdam I send my love into the land, man
Trying to reach the youth by telling them the truth, I hope it gets understood
From the eastside of Amsterdam me say I will trouble no one man
Trying to reach the youth: turn off your television if you wanna hear the truth
They've been telling you about the world
And how there is a better place for all the boys and girls
But this is the fact and it would remain the same
The Father is the Lord and he is coming again
From the eastside of Amsterdam I send my love into the land, man
Trying to reach the youth by telling them the truth, I hope it gets understood
From the eastside of Amsterdam me say I will trouble no one man
Trying to reach the youth: turn off your television if you wanna hear the truth
Mr. Asher ‘pon the microphone stand
Talking to the youths of Amsterdam
Change around your ways if you know you do wrong
If you kept twist back you better twist it up front
Almighty Jah Jah is your salvation
Forget the evilous plan of Satan
Satan layer with them injunction
Because them want to see the youth do wrong
From the eastside of Amsterdam I send my love into the land, man
Trying to reach the youth by telling them the truth, I hope it gets understood
From the eastside of Amsterdam me say I will trouble no one man
Trying to reach the youth: turn off your television if you wanna hear the truth
Say a prayer unto the Almighty One
Our Father who walks in Zion
Don't let the youth go down in destruction
Help us from the arms of the wicked satan
In Amsterdam the things have gone wrong
And all the youths them under contention
So we chant love and unity peace and life
Yes no strife, you stay alive
From the eastside of Amsterdam I send my love into the land, man
Trying to reach the youth by telling them the truth, I hope it gets understood
From the eastside of Amsterdam me say I will trouble no one man
Trying to reach the youth: turn off your television if you wanna hear the truth
