Just Like Mama Told Ya Just like Mama told ya Follow your dreams and you’ll see Time means getting older So open your mind to be free Just like Mama told ya Life ain’t so easy as it seems So we’re stepping forward Outta this corrupt society No matter what’s happening Life goes on Each one decides Which road to go down With ganja by my side You will never see me frown Not until my work is done no. Creative mind And creative soul When the inspiration comes You’ve got the control Power to the people But the people want more Globalisation taking us to war Travel to the East A me say travel to the West No matter where we are I say we try our best To carry on the on the deed I say to pass the test In the right time I will do my conquest In the meantime With love and dedication Singing is my life And music my direction Roots Rock Reggae in a soundman connection Gotta find shelter in this wicked situation We tell them again.. ( CHORUS ) Try to do your best, Don’t care about the rest Always give more, And never give less Try to find your, own interest Inna this life your future you cannot guess So keep your hopes and dreams Just Like Mama Told Ya ‘Cause time may slip away As we’re getting older So keep your hopes and dreams Just Like Mama Told Ya ‘Cause time may slip away As you’re getting older As you’re getting older… Oh yes ( CHORUS ) Outta this corrupt society, Outta this corrupt society! Just like mama told ya, Yeah!

Find The Silver Lining Try to find the silver lining Even though the lies are blinding Try to find the silver lining Even if it’s hard (O gosh) Come across the song I man sing Listen to the words that I bring Try to find the silver lining Even if it’s hard I say we come down, I say you don’t doubt The situation’s wrong Inna this road that we go down Once upon a time We used to know how To roam with the animals the trees And the world round, and the world round Bad deal run the streets Affi Babylon tricks Inna concrete jungle With wicked politics Trying to stay humble I man never stumble Natty Nature on the frontline Come fi rumble, we come di rumble yeah Even if the system affi wrong, affi wrong We will carry on, I say firm and strong We will carry on until our work is done Following the road of the foundation Even if they don’t let the ganja fi burn We will carry on, I say firm and strong We will carry on until our work is done Conscious is the vibe of the rootsman sound ( CHORUS ) Rise upon these times Even though out in the cold Never try to fit Inside the stereotype mould You wanna be yourself You don’t want to be a clone Stick to your instincts Remember what you know Stepping outta line We don’t want to grow old Being another slave That always does what their told But blinded by the wealth In each and every zone Big fish, fat pocket Bad to the bone x2 ( CHORUS ) Even if it’s hard, even if it’s hard.. Oh gosh, Oh gosh.. -

about

This new showcase released in Autumn 2017 is the end result of a lot of hard work and several months of planning taking place throughout the past year. Two faces of the reggae and dub culture in Madrid unite forces to bring you this EP; the mature and educated sound of Bass Culture Players alongside the fresh vocal and artistic vibe brought to you by the young Natty Nature.

As well as it being a showcase of the first ever musical production together, it’s Natty’s first solid project in creating a full album as supposed to releasing singles. Influenced by the 70’s and 80’s Roots Reggae sound of Jamaica, Puppa Shan has composed these riddims, bringing in some of Spain’s best Reggae musicians and united with Natty Nature to bring you what could be Spain’s 2017 roots album revelation of the year.

New generation coming from the mountains of Madrid to bring you songs with message and a deeper understanding of the times we are living in through a young man’s perspective. Raised on Roots Reggae and forming himself in the Sound System scene, Natty is a versatile singjay working militantly on his and his brother’s sound called “Nu School Steppas Sound System”, working on several projects to be announced and released this upcoming year.

This is the beginning of a great friendship and musical bond between two warriors brought together by the love of Reggae Music and the willingness to create a project that promotes consciousness amongst the people, in this time where there seems to be real a lack of knowledge and understanding, aiming at an international audience.
