Derrick Morgan - Tougher Than Tough

A classic reggae/ska/rocksteady song by Derrick Morgan. Enjoy.

Tougher Than Tough
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court

Order!
- Now, this court is in session,
And I order all you rude boys to stand !
You're brought here (by a verdict) for shooting and raping,
Now tell me, rude boys, what have you to say for yourselves ?

Your honour,
Rudies don't fear,
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear,
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear,

Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear,
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear :/

Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear, fe real
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear, bad...

Derrick Morgan - Forward March

Forward march

Gather together, be brothers and sisters
We're independent, we're independent
Join hands to hands, children started to dance
We're independent, we're independent

Don't be sad and blue, the Lord is still with you
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So make a run, we're independent

Brothers and sisters give joy and praises
While it's under, yeah, yeah
Brothers and sisters give joy and praise
To His commandments, yeah, yeah

Don't be sad and blue, the Lord is still with you
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So make a run, yeah, yeah

Woah, ooh, woah, oh, we're independent
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're independent
Sing a song, sing a song
Sing it well, sing a song, sing a song, we're independent

Brothers and sisters give joy and praises
While it's under, yeah, yeah
Brothers and sisters give joy and praise
To His commandments, yeah, yeah

Don't be sad and blue, the Lord is still with you
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So make a run, we're independent
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So make a run, we're independent
