![]() Mind Control (2007) [ larger cover art ] |
(feat. Ben Harper)
[Verse 1:]
I didn't get no sleep at all last night
My shoulders were as heavy as lead
I felt something was just not right
I had to roll a little spliff for my head
So I took a walk inside
Talked to I, I self
Trying to ease these pains of mine
Oh Jah give I strength
[Chorus:]
And if a egg, natty inna di red
And if a egg, natty inna di red
Rasta inna it, natty inna di red
And if a egg, natty inna di red
Yeah, yah yah
Yah, yah
[Verse 2:]
Eh, Now I'm in a irie place
Now I'm in a irie space
Now I man can I ditate
Free ourselves from all that hate
Now I'm in an irie state
Now I man can I ditate
Free ourselves from all that hate
Bless them with Jah love and grace
[Chorus:]
And if a egg, natty inna di red
And if a egg, natty inna di red
Rasta inna it, (egg), natty inna di red
And if a egg, natty inna di red
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3:]
Eh, I didn't get no sleep at all first night, no
My shoulders we as heavy as lead
I felt Something was just not right
Had to Roll a little zig for my head
Yeah
So I took a walk inside
Talk to I, I self
Free I from this frame of mind
Oh Jah give I strength
[Chorus:]
And if a egg, natty inna di red
And if a egg, natty inna di red
Cmon man and if a (egg), natty inna di red
And if a egg, natty inna di red
Yeah, yah yah
Oh, yah, yah,yah, yah
[Verse 4:]
None shall escape Jah judgment
Jah judgments gonna call on you
Red eye, red eye, red eye
Red eye, you're gonna turn to blue
None shall escape Jah judgment
Jah judgments gonna fall on you
Red eye, red eye, red eye
Red eye, you're gonna turn to blue
Yeah, yah, yah
Yah, uah
Yah, yah
[Outro: Kids]
So when we call him Rastafari
What shall we contend with
Watch how weak heart tremble
Heathen nah like Jah name

| calypsus_1 | Posted: May 08, 2011 - 18:02 "Inna Di Red" is, perhaps, one of the most iconic songs of all time of RP, since Apr 25, 2007, and I wish to remain...... |

Love my smoke, have read Haile Selassie, have good Jamaican friends. Nothing for me to like, get or understand here. Just PR for yet another religion populated by people who think they've got it figured and you're an infidel if you don't agree. |

| arserocket (S.O.B in an S.U.V) | Posted: Sep 09, 2010 - 14:17 This reminds me of a junkie I used to know who rolled his car with a friend in it. He managed to get out of the car and just had enough strength to roll a little number before passing out without getting his friend out of course...... Hallelujah and tot ziens! |

| nelsonha (Sacramento, CA USA) | Posted: Sep 07, 2010 - 10:43 The vocals get to be annoying. This wouldn't be a bad song as an instrumental. |
| scrubbrush | Posted: Sep 07, 2010 - 10:42 love this tune... too bad others don't. No need for personal insults though; just turn your speakers down |

| iya | Posted: Apr 23, 2010 - 11:53 Blessed tune. I can listen for long time and don't even have outside influences to enhance the meditation. It resonates at a deep level and I appreciate it a great deal. Don't understand the negative comments at all. |
| HazzeSwede (Vinyl Land) | Posted: Feb 07, 2010 - 04:41 Its kind of floating around in my living room,,nice tune ! |
| V-bro | Posted: Jan 30, 2010 - 09:03 I'm sorry Stephen for the really stiff comments here and there Most of the greatest music in human history is created 'under the influence' and this is a good example! Love it!... ![]() |

| Danimal174 (Upstate South Carolina) | Posted: Sep 24, 2009 - 10:33 Really like what I've heard from Stephen Marley on here. BTW...I would have sworn this was "Burn One Down" by Ben Harper...the beginning of each song is identical to each other. I wonder if the bongos are Ben's doing, along with the guitar work (of course). |
