"Experience costs you wisdom, thank god I've got some left. I'm getting out for certain because my soul can't stand the test. I need nothing to be a man, because I was born a man. And I deserve the right to live as any other man!"

Please help me out with the track name and forgive me if the lyrics are in any way misquoted - this is the way they were presented to me. Our awesome new new singer Charlie Massiah wants to do this track but can't remember exactly title - thinks it was Barrington Levy or Gregory Isaacs?

He wants to sing it at a gig in 12 days time, so I have to found it, do a drum track and then the band has to learn it!
So please help quickly!

famous tune by bob andy - my time

Thanks Tales - Bob Andy eh- no wonder I'm struggling to find it, I got given a bum steer.

Thanks again

Also recorded by Gregory Isaacs and Barrinton Levy, and not forgetting Big Youth`s idiosyncratic version.

Familiar with the Bob Andy version - long time since I listened to Bob Andy's song book so didn't recognise it from the snippet of lyrics. Located the Gregory version now, I think the Barrington Levy version is the one that Charlie is familiar with.
