Punky Reggae Party

A propos of nothing, here's my very first mp3 post (woo hoo!!). It's a punk rock/hardcore classic from wayback, The Bad Brain's "Pay to Cum". When i heard this lil tune (on the Alternative Tentacles record comp "Let them eat jellybeans") i was B-lown A-way. Checka checka check it out!

For those of you (everyone i think) who can't figure out the lyrics by ear alone, here are the lyrics so you can sing along. Below them, you will find three versions of said tune (beginning w the 1978 version), as well as two examples of their reggae stylee for good measure, so you can compare and contrast! Enjoy, boogie chillun!!!

"Pay To Cum"
"I make decision with precision
Lost inside this manned collision
Just to see that what is to be
Perfectly my fantasy


I came to know with now dismay
That in this world we all must pay
Pay to write, pay to play
Pay to cum, pay to fight


And all in time,
With just our minds
We soon will find
What's left behind


Not long ago when things were slow
We all got by with what we know
The end is near. Hearts filled with fear
Don't want to listen to what they hear


And so it's now we choose to fight
To stick up for our bloody right
The right to sing, the right to dance
The right is ours... We'll take the chance


A peace together
A piece apart
A piece of wisdom
From our hearts"
