about

A rockin' reinterpretation of Augustus Pablo with Bob Marley's lyrics

lyrics

We've been down in adversity. so long, so long
If we unite then we will be free, so strong, so strong
So, cheer up Joel Beswick, cheer up Rory Saunders
Cheer up John Whittles on the drums, cheer up L-Hyo

(Now I'm gonna speak about a brother who made me think
If people are united for the same reason
I have no doubts at the least, we'd be happier
Stronger and free, just like you say
Now I wanna see everyone jumping
This is Junior Bill & The Scallies from Portugal to the Valleys on stage
This is an invasion, this anything goes
So, everyone put your hands up, up in the sky
And let's all shout out loud)

(Directly from Portugal to Wales
The valleys to the city of Cardiff, L-Hyo people
There are good things that come for a reason
Although unexpected, amazing to know
That I would be rapping with you guys
Woah they are big in the game
People this is Junior Bill & The Scallies
A super big band, sweet, this is it, no chance
We are going to smash it, no doubt
Do you doubt? Well, listen

It is so beautiful, like I said before
I don't wanna ask for more
I just wanna see everybody united, more united, even more united
Because united we've been always bigger than you think
Those who want you to believe you're small
Will only say it if you let them
You give more than enough reasons to allow them
You know what? Stop them now, believe in yourself)
