Текст песни Pickin' Up - Aswad

Peace and unity
That's what we want in the world community
You get me
All God bless you north east west and south
Jah knows that's all it's about
Love and peace man
Oh yes

Some are trying
Yet some will try in vain
Some will do the best they can
While others keep their best inside them
Hearts are bleeding now were living on a prayer
Dancing on a rainbows edge as if they just don't care

We'll be jamming (hey, hey)
Are you picking up now
Oh now picking it up
A picking it up
Aye
Oh are you picking up now
Oh now
Picking it up
Are you picking it up

If everybody wants a future that's bright
Then everybody ought to do what is right
But everybody got so much to say
Cos everybody wants things their own way
And everybody wants a dream they can hold
So everybody ought to work for their goal
But everybody got so much to give
Does everybody want something for nothing

Hey, woah
Are you picking up now
Yeah, oh I gotta know now
Hey, tell me
Are you picking up now
Oh are you picking it up
Are you picking it up

You're living on hope
A tek life fe joke
Don't you know time is longer than rope
With your dirty intension, you have no direction
You better start picking up and changing up your program

Some are wanting
Wanting their fair share
Standing on their common ground
There's nothing left to fear
Politicians pledging now were left out in the cold
Wishing on a rainbows edge, now all their lies are sold

We'll be jamming
Hey, tell me
Are you picking up now
I wanna know
I wanna know, know know
Hey
Oh are you picking up now
Are you picking it up
Are you picking it up

If everybody wants a future that's bright
Then everybody ought to do what is right
But everybody got so much to say
Cos everybody wants things their own way
And everybody wants a dream they can hold
So everybody ought to work for their goal
But everybody got so much to give
Does everybody want something for nothing

A murderation, sufferation it a gwarn all the while
Oppression and depression nations in a turmoil
Recession and economical exile
Waan fear everywhere man
But now the time to reconcile higher
Livid
Cos I have a message for the older man

Oh yeh, yeh
Are you picking up now
Are you picking it up, picking it up
Tell me are you, hey
Tell me are you
Are you picking up now
