Time and Place - Buju Banton

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?

There’s a time and a place for everything, woo woo

And do you believe in the joy it brings?

When your eyes are open and you can see everything

That’s around you

Separating friends from foes

Taking dangerous blows

Learning from life as you grow

Yo, do you believe me?

And however rough it may seem

It is not a far-fetched dream

And I know (I know)

Dreadlock will be coming in

And however rough it may seem

It is not a far-fetched dream

And I know (I know)

Blessings will be flowing like a stream

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?

There’s a time and a place for everything

Do you believe me, yeah?

Just open up your eyes and look within

There’s a time and a place for everything

Or you could believe me

I searched for freedom the caged bird sings

I wanna hear the freedom bell ring

Until that day uh there will be no peace, oh no

Battles rage over land and seas

Fighting soldiers with desperate needs

As children play upon a land

Filled with cluster bombs, lord

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?

There’s a time and a place for everything, yo

Can you hear me, yeah?

Just open up your eyes take a look within

There’s a time and a place for everything, yo

Do you hear me?

This one called «Time anna time anna time anna place»

Look man well look ready don’t destroy inna hearse

Try nuh tek your money and go free nuh base

Watch where you a carry wacka run with your ways

Lot man woulda run with it if it kill you inna hearse

Kill you and go hide your body and nuh leave a trace

Listen Buju Banton pon di riddim with mi case

Unuh wan hear mi just say it to mi face, coz

Let mi sing, there’s a time and a place for everything, yo

If you don’t know, well I’m the son of the king

Just you take a look, take a look within

Coz there’s a time and a place for everything, yo

How much more can I tell unuh
