VIBSIN’ written by Sheldon Manoo (8/8/99)


Yeah
We were just vibsing then
Didn’t have much money to spend
All we had was we, we were friends
And all de vibes that we transcend
Nobody was to break our stride
Nobody could keep we aside
Strength in number and ar unity
Brotherly love and true sincerity
Nobody could come break we heart
Or talk dey talk and tear we goals apart
Unemployment and ar poverty
Ah used to be we enemy

  But everynight when we gather by de corner
  Talking we dreams and ar roll up we ganja
   Clear de conscience and set we mind free
   Dem mad Babylon fe come and run we
            But we were just vibsin’ then
            Love was ah game and we had to pretend
            Yeah we were just vibsin’ then
            But now is now and that was when

(Solo)

So many things have gone on in meh life now
But looking back ah hold no regret somehow
Whatever me did it just cannot be changed
But nothing will ever a stay de same
  Ah remember that night in de rum shop
  They hit meh brother so dey must geh fix up
Babylon come and ar fe wrangle with me
Spent two years for assault and battery
Now meh life is de same goal different motive
Yuh just cannot hate de way you used to live
Looking back Ah see
            We were just vibsin’ then
            Some turn enemy some still meh friend
            But no mata whata life deal pon me
            Drugs no more ar hold me

            (I’m vibsin’ I’m vibsin’ I’m vibsin’ free)  2x
