Slaughter a song?

 

Have you ever heard or read the correct lyrics to a song and it just blew you away because of what was typically said? Because all your life you thought it was one thing and now you realize that it is completely different.

I'll start.

There was a famous Christmas song. Feliz Navidad - sung by Jose feliciano

More many years as a child we sung  "Police a wi God" thinking we were singin the lyrics of the song.

We did not know spanish and what were were singing really sounded like it.

Another is Glasshouse sung by Peter Tosh

We used to sing  "If you live a glass house don't throw stones, and if you can't take those then you don't throw those."

Again sounded much like what was actually sung. We only missed the word blows but nevertheless this is what we thought.

"If you live a glass house don't throw stones, and if you can't take blows then you don't throw blows."

Drop the link of a song that you slaughtered below. 

Jamaican's don't know it

 In Jamaica most everyone is black, i.e. have dark toned skin.

As contradictory as it may sound, the Jamaican people generally don't love their color. They prefer to be of a lighter complexion.

Consequently why there is a song about "browning" by renown Reggae Artist Buju Banton. However there was a rebellion by the darker toned skin women and Buju Banton made another song about :black women"

Talk about lack of exposure. 

Growing up I did not know that all :shh was the same. I thought the lighter your skin the lighter the color of you shhh would be.

Despite the Junirr Reid song, that we are all one blood, and maybe the insides were different I thought.

You can't imagine my surprise when I found out that all shhh is the same color.

What erroneous views did you have as a child, jot it below.

Tales from the dark side of Jamaica

Ethan grew up in a small rural town in the north of the island, where the weight of expectations pressed heavily on his shoulders. From a young age, he was taught to follow the path laid out for him: be strong, marry a woman, and carry on the family name.

When he turned 19 however, he moved to the city for work and better growth opportunities. Sine his income was scarce he decided to share a little apartment with an older coworker, Marcus. 

Ethan admired Marcus’s confidence and independence; qualities he lacked but secretly yearned for. Having the young man in his care, Marcus showered Ethan with kindness, Marcus’s kindness filled the void of affection Ethan that Erhan had somehow missed, since he was no longer around family.

One night, after a particularly hard day at work, Ethan sought comfort from Marcus. Ethan was confused and vulnerable but found solace in the warmth of Marcus’s embrace. It felt like safety but also stirred a deep conflict within him.

This was only the beginning of a life of conflict for Ethan. Strangers hurled insults, and Ethan’s world shrank into a suffocating bubble of shame and isolation. Rumors spread quickly when others noticed how extremely close Marcus and Ethan seemed. The rumors then reached Ethan's family and rather than confront him, they disowned him, blaming Marcus for “corrupting” their family member. 

Ethan wasn’t sure if his feelings for Marcus were love or a desperate attempt to find belonging in a world that had turned its back on him. He felt trapped, not by Marcus but by the labels and judgments forced upon him.

He longed for freedom—not from Marcus, but from the expectations and hatred that had stolen his chance to discover who he truly was.
