Lil' young boy turned a rebel in the streets
Them say, "Life lookin' incomplete," well
11 years old and he's own, well
Just can't believe, far away from home
Bad up the police, now he's running for his life
Now he's got nowhere to lay his head tonight, well
Tellin' my mother, "Don't cry"
Only wipin' tears over from her eyes, well
Gunshot, another one
At least he got to live off a gun
Now they say he's a devil in the streets
My little brother was an angel to me
(Run to) save your life
Rude bwoy
Now they think he has no family
My little brother was an angel to me
♪
Come ah England and never went back
Hot bwoy a leave bare shot
Carry G16 over my back
.45 and him have e drum pack
Rebel is a-, rebel is a-, rebel on the block
In it for life, no turning back
In the street, his heart and soul
Gave the street his heart and soul
System made his heart so cold
Daddy taught him to be brave and bold
Mama told him to take control
Never will surrender, no surrender, never fold
She'll never see her son grow old
Jah-Jah love his children more than silver and the gold
This is how his story unfold
Never see my brother no more
Can't replace him with silver and gold
Pray to Jah-Jah to receive his soul
Well
Gunshot, another one
He didn't want to live by the gun
Lord, they say he's a rebel in the streets
My little brother was an angel to me, yeah

In awareness of our true nature
We get the feeling that oneness is a becoming
It is the perpetual rising toward our more subtle, eternal self
While still being balanced by the forces of our physical earth, nature
In this harmonious experience
It is possible for ones who are otherwise seen
As women and men of different religious and cultural spheres
To function as the universal body of the living God
The contradicting rows of opposition
That we play out in the drama of daily earth life
Is transformed into a mindful, inner
Life work
The nurturing of all life, true self-love
Soul rebel
So gentle
Go gently, and find your rhythm
I was living outside my bed
I've been found in the wilderness
And I remember what my grandma said
She said, "Son, don't let them think you're dead"
And I've tried
To solve it
And I knew
That they'd come

And I told his lie, my fear in them
People will say what they want to say
Then any road is gonna take me
Just know that you will reach one day
And I tried
But he's not there
Mmm, mmm-hmm
I know that you
Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently and find your way
Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently and find your way
Soul rebel, so gentle
Go gently and find your way
Soul rebel, so gentle
