  • Protoje Feat. Chronixx- Who Knows (Dub Mix)

    "Who Knows" is the first official single from Protoje's third studio album, Ancient Future, scheduled for release in 2015. This is the new Dub version mixed by Gregory Morris.


    Sharing insight into their early conversations, which began as far back as 2010, Protoje recalled, "Chronixx and myself, from the first day we met, have talked about doing music together when the time was right. The stars have now aligned." The song is an anthem for the free spirited, unrestricted by the opinions of others and the perception of inadequacy. The video shows the day starting off with all going well, and as the day presents certain challenges, we keep moving nevertheless with a positive attitude.

    LYRICS

    Protoje - Who Can You Call (2015)

    30 pieces of sliver i said that was the price

    you see the value man woulda put pon the blood of christ

    for Joseph it was 20 they never liked his coat

    for Bob a coulda more they never liked of what he spoke

    inspite of all these notes i see the pattern them developing

    Morality secondary to money greed and jealousy

    thats how many fell you see and with that being said

    i'd wondered if my brothers put a price upon my head

     

    Ive heard that money makes friends and money makes foes

    but money it is not all

    cause when the dough ends and all the banks close

    tell me who can you call 

    Who can you call

     

    I've seen empires fall and wither down to dust 

    and all the money in the world it could not lift them up

    most brilliant of ornaments crumble down to rust

    because we put we faith in lust and disregard the trust

    hell i know the rush

    I've had the feeling take me over

    the power in my hand when all the band over my shoulder

    the bands of money coming in will change the ones around you 

    be wise you know because it cannot stop you getting older but still

    i admit that i get caught up in the game

    saw the legends do it naturally i did the same

    so I'm rolling round the city 

    Ms. Jamaica deh den with me

    Earth den pon me platter knowing all of this no matter

     

    And do you think that with the last breath that you take 

    You'll be sitting thinking bout the money that you made

    houses that you lived in cars you drove the bills you paid

    and yet it is the focus what we do and what we say

    what we give we energy

    so you spend your life a work

    acting like the money will be with you in the hearse

    leaving all you family and friends to fight and search 

    that when you see the snakes come out and act like they deserve

    like them put you on reserve

    LYRICS

    Protoje - Sudden Flight ft. Jesse Royal & Sevana

    From the streets of Jamaica coming live and direct
    Proto Diggy deh ya we nuh need no mic check
    step inna the place no badda disrespect
    Just a warn the Ghetto yutes about the choice wah dem a make BOOM

    Ladi Dadi naa join nuh party
    look wha the politician them do to Claudie
    look wha the politician them do to Jim
    him son resurrect it and look wah them do to him
    cause them will use and dispose of you those who are close to you
    if you choose to trod this road u nuh
    so bredda bredda if you war tonight
    carry the scars of a Garveyite
    carry the fire of a Melchezideck
    when you mind get a chance represent
    or you might a no pass the present so
    no take them class love you fast then resent you
    want make it fast so them lost every cent too
    so we go back to the ancient ways untold secrets that remained unchanged
    mentally get unchained a one goal a one aim a the same wah you saying

    (Sevana)
    Got to stay through to the things you know are right
    Nothing worth the gain you attain by Sudden Flight
    Brother keep you goals in sight
    even in the darkest night
    have faith in the father the one who shines your light

    (Jesse Royal)
    Mercy me dem corrupt and covetous eeh
    cause from me eye deh a me knee a one thing natty a see
    the intellect a prey upon the poor poverty
    nobody naa dance though a two party
    oppression brainwashing and nefarious schemes
    to keep the have-nots where they think they ought to be
    I man hear promises of better when the poll time close
    then a back to the same after winner announce
    rockstone a river bottom never know say sun hot
    so many a me brother them trap inna the plot
    glock full a shot but no food inna pot
    a wa wa wah kinda livity that
    I an I a holla straight up wake up wake up Sons of Jacob
    lay down their arms real tools you fi take up
    stay up way up sons of Jacob time to show the cowards what we made of

    so you've made it tell me what’s the basis thinking its so basic
    cruising in the A6
    Naa thats an illusion in the matrix
    when you miss the payments then they gon’ come and claim it
    You have to be focused keep the brain fit keep the flame lit never twist it when you aim hit
    so what i'm saying simple and it plain it all look the same when it flushing down the drain
    watch dem as dem strutting up the lane with the rope gold chain
    chrome suppin in a hand
    Look up pon dem face touch a button if you can
    just fi try take you place a no nothing fi dem man
    but that no matter cause another come along
    and a run the place badder hotter than the summer sun
    boof i see the cycle a repeat playing god up in your palace
    with disciples pon the street

     Protoje - Protection  (2015)

    (Mortimer)
    A word unto the wise is enough
    You can look but don't touch
    My relations and such
    Cause out here in this jungle we roam
    Every King has his throne
    And if you enter my zone
    I vow Protect my Own, Protect my own
    I will protect my own, protect my own

    Bread basket from birth to the casket
    Ive heard they been talking some words I look past it
    I was brought up and taught of the tactics
    And learned that the Lion nuh turn when dog barking
    Watch who you burn who you spark with
    And you haffi go earn if u want it
    So we nuh concern with who hawking
    When them spit can't reach where we walking
    Enemies in disguise wanna see my demise
    Them nuh even realise jah nuh wrong dem
    Cause i see that in life you achieve supmn’, nice
    but achieve sumpn’ twice is a problem
    Then, you can imagine what i face
    Two up in the hand and another on the way
    Plus i have another in the brain
    And every other one a put the other one to shame

    Sharp like the thorn crown pon christ head
    But you know the flow hardough like slice bread
    Lyrics melt the butter fi make a nice spread
    But a nuh margarine i pull the margin in
    Then stretch the margin out and if you marching out
    And you inna doubt then march without me
    I rather march alone than fi march back home
    Tell me Queen say me lost the throne, No
    This was built on the power of the truth
    Discovering the cowards and empowering the youth
    If you give dem a minute dem devouring the fruit
    And within an hour call it sour and chop the root
    You nuh see it? No skill like Bibbi pon me feet
    But drop me pon the riddim watch the clarity weh speak
    Ain’t no parity between what we have and what we need
    So strength out to the wise and protection for the weak.

    Protoje - Love Gone Cold ft. Sevana (2015)

    I know you think about me every night
    especially when he ain't treating you right
    I guess it didn't go according to plan
    try to replace me with a simpler man
    The streets of kingston yeah they do get so cold
    to think you thought that they were covered with gold
    Now everybody's got your story to tell
    i hope you handle it well

    (Sevana)
    Love gone cold
    gave you all i had yes i played my role
    cannot give you more than that
    I love you but I'm not coming back
    You've done me wrong
    Yet you keep repeating the same old song
    But baby that won't change the fact
    I love you but I'm not coming back

    Girl naa show man no decency
    did all believe up to recently
    change her mind oh so frequently
    and me can't operate pon that frequency
    times she'd a deh pon the P's and Q's
    start act different she seem confused
    all a the things weh she keep consume
    carnival a come and she need costume
    me waa left from the gliding lights
    she just care bout the friday nights
    from sunset back to broad day light
    and she coulda be the Queen if the card play right
    but she woulda rather be the ace
    all a the fun wah she take out of the chase
    want make a run but me nuh in a the race then
    but such is the case when

    Now you calling in the dead of the night
    like i made up the things you did in my mind
    you have no respect and you don't even try
    out there playing games, always telling lies
    Look what you look what you just look what you did
    don't you care about my feelings
    there was a time when what we had was true
    now those days are gone there is nothing left to do

    Now you're alone with all those secrets you keep
    Keeping you up and you can't go back to sleep
    sleeping around to find a happier place
    placing your heart inside a lonelier space
    i guess you thought things would get better with time
    not knowing what we had was one of a kind
    now you're afraid to look at who you've become
    an empty soul on the run

    ANSWER TO YOUR NAME

    Like to tell you a story about a girl I know

    Or should I say a girl I used to know

    1971 inna England

    Fresh off the plane to my dame inna Brixton

    No, she never ask 'bout flight

    Two month now no telegram write

    Hey, she send taxi fi I

    She gone a some house party tonight

    So call me artical like

    Make a few call get a couple invite

    Inna the place me gone

    Never leff Yard from the day me born

    Right up front who me staring pon

    You can tell say a she by the way she gwaan

    Christine, Christina, Crystal

    Try all a dem and she still never respond

    Understand, catch a pree from a distance

    Man hand gone inna pants fi a six-pance

    Whoa! Tuff guys beside her

    She naa reply when I say hi to her

    So dem go try bring violence in the parr

    Need I remind these kind that I nuh war

    So me turn fi walk away

    But a likkle voice in my head start talk to me

    Tell me walk right pass her

    To the sound, take the mic and ask her

    Girl! Why don't you answer to your name?

    Girl! Why don't you answer to your name?

    And girl I know you see me

    And you know I see you too

    So what is it gonna be

    Tell me what you wanna do

    What's with this great mystery

    After all that we been through

    Now you're refusing to look my way, eh

    My likkle darling

    Know she stay so from morning

    Where she grew was appalling

    Want fi make it right so she take the flight

    Heard the city lights calling

    From the day she been crawling

    All she hear bout is foreign

    Say we a keep the link

    Now wah me fi think see the plans dem sinking

    Deep, new year reach

    Accent gone pon all part a you speech

    Don Gorgon dem u waa fi go meet

    Like she be the real topanaris a street

    Please, watch how me calmness a do it

    Naa bat a lid, as a morning I leave

    But how me fi walk right pass you miss

    Haffi look inna you eye and ask you this

    And I know you know what I'm talking about

    Girl see you in the crowd and act like she don't know

    But me naa take no stylin', no punkin' or no joke

    (huh?)

    Girl why you dweet (Girl why you dweet!)

    Girl why you dweet (Girl why you dweet!)

    No it no sweet (No it no sweet!)
