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.

A word to the wise is sufficient

 

Have you ever heard a wise counsel that you used to change your life?

Take the time to jot them here.

I will start with a few of the ones I used to change my life.

1) Avoid anything or anyone that is harmful to your health or well being.

2) I will take a conscious effort to direct my life in the direction I want to go, and not just drift along with the current of life.
