When the lion is sleeping never you try to wake him?

Post by Leevancleef »

Every few years I want to hear this song, and I forget the name and artist - so please help me out
Thanks to all ahead of time!

It starts with the intro that says
" rough , tough, When the lion is sleeping never you try to wake him..."

Ok hope someone knows it. I think Damian marley used the riddim recently on a track with Sean Paul too..

Thanks

Damian Marley and Sean Paul - Riot, that's the new track you mean, aight? A bit too hardcore for my taste, but not bad. I liked Sean Paul's music a lot in the late 90s.

Sean Paul's two first albums were rather brilliant. Why did he have to go into that eurodisco, lightweight bland techno thing? Would had been immensely more interesting if he had gone on straight techno productions.

Also check Linvals cut which is nice to play with it:
Linval Thompson - Trouble + Version

Jamaican Recordings did a re-issue on vinyl, i think it also came out on a B+F CD ride on dreadlocks
