Father oh father of the father would you tell the father To tell the father of my father to be infinitely kind and just To give me one day the possibility and the happiness Of being able to rise to life and to contemplate The beauty and Diversity of this earth, it’s gardens the sources and the rivers of birth Who are yours and who are mine One day show to my children And their children to their children, many sides of greener From generation to generation, The beauty of it… BRIDGE: OUOUOUOUH--- (RAP HERE) Red skies Blue skies Pick one I choose blue Littered seas blue sea Choose one I pick blue Bare fields Green Fields Pick one I choose green Thawed North White North Choose one I pick White When we got reckless We ruined planet Earth Now we got wise Let’s heal the earth I hope earth will be paradise one day Peace Please make peace, I love you as much as you love me Please make peace, no knowledge of religion ethnic or creed Please make peace, from every country I‘ll be born free I hope earth will be paradise one day I hope earth will be paradise one day Remember what you’ve accomplished It’s what you leg to your children What’s the use of all the wealth If there is not anymore earth to use them How far this earth will accept your anger?

At The Rock 03:17

At the Rock, praying by the stone, feeding my mind to recall the zone Green the land that receives this boy, out of the woods I ask for more Whaling sound sleepy town like a million of Jerry clown Distance me in hurry foam now I know the world is my home At the rock bestriding the load searching for clues and garden of roses Walk me there so I can hear you there I had to hit the road At the Rock loading the stock shipping golden rays around the clock Shifting lanes to flip the part my memories will not be tossed On the border where they cross in the middle of nowhere they mass Same story, same history, same people, true tragedy, Took a boat to a far away land most of my ancestors traveled here with no plan They began with their own bare hands to build a new world in a captive land Al I know is I’m longing for memories to drop at my door, The message is true the message is real the power is you when you’re clear At the rock praying by the Stone

One ask me for a lift, another one wants a virtual gift Oh honey I’ll pay the bills, the bar, the salmon grill and Chantilly Chill She says I’m here for you baby, just call me when you ready She says I’m here for you baby, just call me when you ready Through the spring buds of timely love Today everything goes to push and shove Is that what we hassled for, Is that the reason we never catch the ball Buy me a dagger; lend me your shower, Cookies and monsters spilling my motor taking a nap, Before my late night snack, beautiful and steady to start a new home She says I’m here for you baby, just call me when you ready She says I’m here for you baby, just call me when you ready Through the spring buds of timely love today everything goes to push and shove Is that what we asking for, Is that the reason we never catch the ball It is what it is, what it is, It is what it is, what it is She wants me more than her a drink, now I really start make me tink Wrapped in bubbles fantasy castle She says I’m here for you baby, just call me when you ready She says I’m here for you baby, riding the whirly by Selfie Fresco says pay me, Bottle neck feels sorry All break loose Oh Mary Bloody Tarzan not happy she‘s gone crazy oh tootsie, oh mercy nervy It is what it is , what it is, It is what it is , what it is

Coming on Deck 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Coming on deck, we’re coming on strong, Close to the Edge, we’re moving along, 400yrs of Blood, sweat and tears, so confused we forget how we get here, I will stand and testify, I will begin and tell you no lie. The story starts in a far away land, my native home blue water and red sand, my people were sold for their land and their gold, many of them perish in the middle cone, creating wealth for Lisbon and Rome sold on the dock for my denture and stock. Branding our skins as cattle and horse, I had to riot and fight them of course, as black is a beast they called me his son, down on the plantation they gave no reason, for the inhuman treatment we endure, too many souls burn in the cotton fern.. Escaping in droves to north city ghettos, we escape the south but not the sorrow, we head up north and hope they wouldn’t run with their dogs on my tail till the morning dawn, Coming on deck, we’re coming on strong, Close to the Edge, we’re moving along, They reengineered slavery in a different tone, control the laws and keep me begging for more, no talks of education or reparation, only murder, drug and capitulation, our memory hits and my vision is clear, to be myself at last free as a bird, what needs to be done is give some, mark History for every black man and woman, let us tell the true story of a people that rose out of prophecy, the north star shines as a guiding light, salute the return of my Glory Might.

Will They Talk 03:30

Will they talk? Will they talk? Will they walk? Will they spark? Will they drop? Will they stop? Will they start if we part? Forging the past in a the dark the eyes of the Tiger is still on you No longer will we be denied the truth when we could be persecuted right through Will they open the gates to wounds buried beneath the rock Time is never too late when you looking for a star For your blues you can weep from the deep in your sleep Bound a blue tight arrow aiming bonds for tomorrow Prophets for all human kind taught the world how to find the clue Reverse the power in your mind you will see yourself go through

Le Pélican Doré 03:47
lyrics

Sais -tu qu’il naviguait avant qu’on soit né, Forcé de ramer pour pas être naufragé, Toujours recommencer, Continuer avec les années Pour essayer de subsister Aux périples de la vie salée comme un pélican doré Pourquoi quitter sa mère, Son père et son frère, Mes blessures sont vrais, Le temps est frais, me voila emporté dans les griffes du monde entier Refugié d’Haïti atterri ici cette nuit comme un pélican doré Qui survole les failles qui creusent l’appétit ou le poisson est rare et vendu a gros prix. Je me sens retourne en arrière sur les sentiers de mon père Revoir le sourire de grand-mère et le nom de mes ancêtres si fiers Comme un pélican doré J’ai un toit et du boulot Corps et âme dans le même bateau Je me rends compte que la misère Prends sa forme dans les pays de fer Les pécheurs taquinent l’appât du jour, sur la haute mer ils nous disent Bonjour De la colline tu m’envoies la main moi je pense a mon destin Plus je m’éloigne plus c’est atroce, mais l’Union fait la force comme un pélican doré Je garde espoir et je prends les coups durs La confiance règne malgré la peur du futur Seul sur mon chemin La chance me sourira demain Je te donne ma parole On se reverra avant l’envol comme un pélican doré (Ad Lib)

Let It Be Known 03:22

Let it be known, there ain’t no use for the words I choose Are you on the phone? Nothing safe till I see your face Time passes on I can’t believe that I’m alone I thought you were gone Rescue me in the early dawn Had to turn my day and pray and pray Had to turn my night to dreaming away Had to turn my life and start to take Lessons from a light that came to stay Just pass around if I dwell I’ll hit the ground Might as well be done God above show me the road is long The path is dry until you answer my heart just cries Still I’ll stay strong ain’t no use to let go until we try Scenes of my own sense go on display. There is no use to play and to push away, One of my heartbeats weighs in the rain Drive to my garden and make my day. Just turn me on bring me in from the storm awhile We will catch on the wind don’t matter when you smile Time passes on; I can’t believe that I’m alone Are you on the phone?

I believe in access for all, I believe in trying once more I believe to open the gates for all to get a winning taste I believe in rocky mountain high I believe there must be another side I believe in the power of sound and light, I’ll spend the night glazing at the sky Everything is going to be alright if you start up a fire Smoke will never get in your eyes when you give Him the power Everything is going to be alright if you shut down the fire Time is on our side when we say a prayer I believe in the wisdom of doves I believe in the sense of love I believe in the grandeur of God, I feel his spirit right thru my walls I believe in justice for all I believe music travels from a star I believe in the grace of child from the day we born until we die Everything… I believe hollow is the earth, I believe in the days of rebirth I believe in Equal Rights, All together we can stop the fights I believe the earth has a limit, I believe we can leave in a minute I believe hungry is the poor man, don’t take away his source of command. Everything…

Life is a play to reach better days Draw your hearts in so many rays, Vanishing souls are immortal My beloved Father has forgiven the fallen Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail him, Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail Him for the love that he brings Time for war, time for peace, Time for love, Time to please ….his orders in his command Time for joy, Time to keep, Time to give and a time to reach… goals with rightful blessings Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail him, Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail Him for his love is awareness Time to bare, time to care, time to pray, time to feel…the origins are progressive, Time to fly, time to die, I tried to hide but I did not run over the everlasting power Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail him, Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail Him for his love is surrender (BREAK) My inner core is bleeding still I try to catch your smile He lives deep down inside Sometimes I want to go up there to meet Him Fill your hearts, Ready aim and start Take a ride; follow your star to the Far East Side, Share the honey, everyone gets dizzy, dreams get real when we stand together in the glorious fields. Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail him, Cry to him when you praise him, Cry to him when you hail Him for the love that he brings

about

This album is history in the making as we remember and dedicate this album to the people that escaped through the Underground Railroad. Here in Quebec, we have places that were open for Blacks to follow the road to freedom or to be enslaved. At The Rock represents one of those sanctified places that touches my heart and made me craft visions of the not so distant past and that belongs to me and to you now. Don’t hesitate just persevere was my devise. The vision that I had was to go for it because you don’t know what tomorrow is made of. And little did I know that the world would enter a new phase of systemic global crisis of great existentialist concern and reflection to us all. So like an irrevocable tsunami, I wrote and composed and galvanize my creative process over the last 3yrs. I announce here my songs from the heart and tell stories only the hand’s pen writing to encase my soul and honor laborers across the world like me that do Jah Works for the salvation of people of good will.

These songs were written, arranged and recorded during the period from 2018 to 2020. So it was plan to release these 14 songs set on the Album that was constructed with so much happening in my life as music and creation was throbbing from inside. So here we are in a time of reflection, uncertainty, useless waste of energy and chaos all around the place. What is left of us is more than sugar and gold. Children search true facts because History rocks! At the Rock is part of my journey, I hope you will enjoy.

St-Armand de mes amours, épopée glorieuse de l’Histoire du Canada. Le pèlerinage annuel que nous faisons nous parle du chemin de fer clandestin emprunté maintes fois par des esclaves fuyant les États-Unis, au chemin de fer de la route Boston-St- Armand –Montréal, des loyalistes établis au bord du Lac Champlain, l’Auberge du village disparue qui servait d’escale pour reposer et changer de chevaux jusqu’a l’Église Méthodiste construite en 1819 qui se tient a l’entrée du rang Principale de St-Armand, fidele a son poste grâce a la préservation par un couple de Conservateurs comprenant l’importance historique de cet autre patrimoine québécois.

L’endroit est pour moi révélateur pour la présence des esprits qui la guettent. Figé dans son temps, elle raconte par son silence rural, son passé agité et circonstanciel l’histoire de nos frères et sœurs qui ont habités, construits et été dispersés comme des cendres noires au vent dans un feu qu’on veut oublier.

Je dédie ce 5ieme album “ At the Rock” de Heart Hand Soul à une histoire de (Pierre Nègre) et d’Ancêtres qui ont passes par ces chemins de misère, de survie et de combat. Que leurs voix bafouées et leur appel d’espoir ne s’éteignent jamais en nous!
