hello
can anybody post the lyrics for hugh mundell song " Jah will provide "????
i love this song there so much feelling on it...i want so much to know exactly what message it brings.
thanks, peace!

What the heck, I'll give it a shot. The first two lines of the third verse was hard for me. People can correct any mistakes and fill in the blanks...

When we are hungry and have no food to eat
When we are thirsty and there's no water to drink
We won't give up from praising Jah
We'll never stop praising Jah
'Cause Jah will provide
For I and I
Jah will provide
For I and I

When we are uneasy and nowheres to mediate
When we are tired and no place to rest our head
We keep on praising Rastafari
We never deny our Selassie I
'Cause Jah will provide
For I and I
Jah will provide
For I and I

When we are locked up in the ??? jailhouse
And are given to we ??? kind of ??? ???
Blessed that I and I put our trust in Jah
Blessed that I and I hunger and thirst for righteousness
'Cause Jah will provide
For I and I
Jah will provide
For I and I
Jah will provide
Jah will provide
Jah will provide for I and I and I

good one man, thanks a lot, it is a beatiful lyric this one, mundell blessed youth !
and listening more carefully i think that the first blank word is " dirty " or something like that, see if you think the same...
and again, thanks!

I think in that line...
"And are given to we ??? kind of ??? ???"
he says something like...
"And are given to eat all kinds of fuckry"
Though I might be wrong because Amy Winehouse hadn't invented that word yet...

Amy Whingehouse invented the word fukry??????? No way dready....I heard Bob Marley say that way back in '70's...'a 'ole 'eap a fukry man'.....

She invented that word...also she invented Jazz and Soul and Reggae!

I think he says 'all kinds of unclean meat'.

He's not happy that they serve pork chops or bacon (take it or leave it) in jail, basically.

Yeah, funky punk, I think you're right, but "all kinds of fukriness" sounds wickeder!

When we are hungry and have no food to eat
When we are thirsty and there's no water to drink
We won't give up from praisin' Jah. We never stop praisin' Jah.

Cuz Jah will provide for I and I. Jah will provide for I and I.

When we are run easy and no where to meditate.
When we are tired and no place to rest our head.
We keep on praisin' rastafari
We never deny our Selasie I

Cuz Jah will provide for I and I. Jah will provide for I and I.

When we are locked up in the dirty jailhouse and are given to eat all kind of unclean mess.
Blessed all to I and I who put all trust in Jah
Blessed all to I and I who hunger, anxious for righteousness.

Cuz Jah will provide for I and I. Jah will provide for I and I.

"Fuckry" has been a Jamaican word for many years... long before Amy Winehouse.
