Bolt adopts cheetah

Tuesday, November 03, 2009 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - The world's fastest man adopted the animal kingdom's fastest sprinter yesterday, as Usain Bolt welcomed a new baby cheetah named "Lightning Bolt" into his life. The Jamaican sprinter's sponsorship of the three-month-old male cheetah is part of an effort to boost Kenyan conservation efforts of its famous wildlife, whose survival is threatened by trophy hunting, climate change and human encroachment. The world record-holder in the 100 and 200 metres paid US$13,700 to formally adopt the cub. He will also pay US$3,000 a year to care for Lighting Bolt, who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi.

Buju Banton - Destiny Lyrics

Verse 1:
The rich man's wealth is in the city
Destruction of the poor is his poverty
Destruction of your soul is vanity
Do you hear
I and I, I wanna rule my destiny
I and I, I wanna rule my destiny

Chorus:
Destiny, mama look from when you call me
Destiny, mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
yeah, yeah oh help I please Jah Jah mek mi rule

Verse 2:
I've been blessed I've been touch
I love Jah so much
They keep fighting me I'm not giving up
May the realms of Zion fill my spiritual cup
Wisdom overstanding can never be too much
Give I protection Day and night

Chorus

Cast away their cords from us
you have them in the region in the valley of decision
Restraining the heathen with a rod of iron
you know not the destiny of a next man
Why hold him set him free too long

Verse 3:
My destination is homeward bound
Though force try to hold I down
Breaking chains has become the norm
I know I must get through no matter what a gwaan

Playing for Change: "One Love (2009)"

The music and the message of Bob Marley transcend time and space. No matter where you go all over the world, his legacy lives on. For the past four years, Playing For Change has traveled from streets and villages to mountaintops creating songs and searching for inspiration. The "One Love (2009)" video featured on BobMarley.com is a collaboration of over 35 musicians from all over the world. This song unites people of different races, genders, religions, economics and political views.

Our path for recording "One Love" started with Roberto Luti playing a national steel guitar. He had recently lived through Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the feelings of loss and hope seemed to resonate through him.

We then traveled to the township of Umlazi, South Africa. We drove to a small home serving as a rehearsal space for the choral group Sinamuva. Tucked in this small room were ten of the greatest souls I had ever met rehearsing for the "One Love" track. They were singing the choruses in Zulu!

This proved to us the power of Bob Marley's message can be expressed in any language. While in Africa we found singer-musician Mermans Kenkosenki, from the Congo. Kenkosenki expressed how Marley helped him stay inspired regardless of the tragedies around him. You can hear the perseverance in his voice during the first verse of the video.

Our crew then traveled to Dharmsala, India, the home of the Dalai Lama. I remember walking down the street and seeing a small record shop with a CD display mostly consisting of Tibetan albums. When I looked closer, I could see Marley's Legend, right in the center!

Bob Marley has paved the way for global connection and mutual understanding everywhere. Millions of people throughout the world continue to sing and hear the words, "Let's get together and feel alright." Words to live by.

One Love,
Mark Johnson

Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of...
Christ feed the multitude...

Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of bread
Poor people there is someting for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head
Poor people there is someting for you

Mankind care not for his sisters anymore
Still there is someting for you
Written in the book of life we shall live forever more
There will be someting for you

Rastaworks a manifest and it a bless a man a bloom
Nature always joins scores the tide is rising with the moon
It only take a spark to put the fire to the fume
What is hidden in the dark shall be reveal so very soon
Tell pharaoh free the prisoners from the dungeons and the doom
Tell the yutes fi natty dread and babylon put dem nah platoon
The trials and the parrels be pod on the blue lagoon
Dem no waan fe know dem history an nu see seh dem a goon

Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of bread
Poor people there is someting for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head
Poor people there is someting for you

Mankind care not for his sisters anymore
Still there is someting for you
Each an every time you see we forward of a tour

Jah give Moses ten commanments up onto da blessed stone
Lead Israel out of Egypt and then promised dem a home
Samson slew the phillystines with a DONKEY JAH BONE
An David slew Goliath with a sling an a stone hehe

Blessed be the man weh walked not inna di warzone
Blessed be the man weh hear natty an happy and grown
Blessed be the herbs weh keep I happy and stoned
Faya fi al man we sit dong inna babylon throne

Courios woman go a dance an left the pickney dem alone
Cannot take care of yourself the giddeon ready nah rome
Population under pressure still they have more man a clown
And all the ways that lock that has been lost has now been found

Christ feed the multitude with only 1 loaf of bread
Poor people there is someting for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head
Poor people there is someting for you

Mankind care not for his sisters anymore
Still there is someting for you
Written in the book of life we shall live forever more
There will be someting for you

I luv this song one of my favs

Turn Your Lights Down Low lyrics

Turn your lights down low
And pull your window curtains;
Oh, let Jah moon come shining in -
Into our life again,
Sayin': ooh, it's been a long, long (long, long, long, long) time;
I kept this message for you, girl,
But it seems I was never on time;
Still I wanna get through to you, girlie,
On time - on time.
I want to give you some love (good, good lovin');
I want to give you some good, good lovin' (good, good lovin').
Oh, I - oh, I - oh, I,
Say, I want to give you some good, good lovin' (good, good lovin'):
Turn your lights down low;
Never try to resist, oh no!
Oh, let my love come tumbling in -
Into our life again,
Sayin': ooh, I love ya!
And I want you to know right now,
I love ya!
And I want you to know right now,
'Cause I - that I -
I want to give you some love, oh-ooh!
I want to give you some good, good lovin';
Oh, I - I want to give you some love;
Sayin': I want to give you some good, good lovin':
Turn your lights down low, wo-oh!
Never - never try to resist, oh no!
Ooh, let my love - ooh, let my love come tumbling in -
Into our life again.
Oh, I want to give you some good, good lovin' (good, good lovin').
