lyrics

Nothing like the cold to remind a poor man of how poor he is!
Nothing like the cold to impress upon a man the years upon years
Of fears

Winter is here again and snow is falling hard
Another few months of no heat inna the yard
Done pile up all of the layers,
Done chant up all of i prayers
Done my cd with my singing soothsayers
Done finish up with the so called players
Life's not a game so don't mix all the flavors
And while you're out there wont you deal with your neighbors
Nothing like a helping hand to get you by
A warm friends house you can visit nearby
Faith that around the corner is the next bligh
Love for the deepest bass heavy HIFI
Rammedout sessions and pure vibes thereby
Singers and players need only apply

Nothing like the cold to remind a poor man of how poor he is!
Nothing like the cold to impress upon a man the years upon years
Of fears

No money for no hospital bill
No money in case I fall Ill
No money I can save after paying the bills
From hand to mouth no matter how i feel
Inna this life we a work for the overdraft
easy to keep focus in a cold cold house
No time to invest in our craft
The tax man will have none of that
And in our hearts we a generate power
We will survive from hour to hour
My voice it shall be heard,
The visions not blurred
My speech is not slurred
Positivity preferred
The power the sound and the word
What Babylon promotes is absurd
Elders everywhere have concurred
That Love it is the key word!

Nothing like the cold to remind a poor man of how poor he is!
Nothing like the cold to impress upon a man the years upon years
Of fears

CounterAction, Not A Blind Reaction

CounterAction is a UK roots reggae/dub label.

It aims to provide a vehicle for positive, educational, spiritual creative musical expression contributed by singers and players principally from Leicester and the UK (but not only), particularly taking notice of artists that perhaps have not had enough or as much exposure as deserved.

A true counterAction. ... more
