I liked this project. My favorite part of this project is when i got to present in front of the class. My least favorite part about this project was the researching part. I didn’t like that part of that project because it took most of the time from the rest of the project and it was hard fr me to concentrate. I chose the glogster project because I knew it would be fun to Present in front of this lovely class. yes it did because it helped me gather information and organize them wall. I liked Dalinas project because she told us during her presentation, that her poet marred his cousin and i thought that was very interesting. i would like to know if we are going to do a project like this again because I liked this project

Monday, April 18th, 2011Road To Zion
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011Yeah Man…
Jah will be waiting there, We a shout!
Jah will be waiting there
[Verse 1]
In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know ’bout variety
Boom!
The youngest veteran a go murder dem slow
Ragga muffin sent to call me from the bush bungalow
Unnu watch mek I clear out my voice now Figaro!
Mi hammer dem a slam and spectator get low
Some bwoy coulda big like Bam Bam Biggalow
Cause
[Hook]
I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man
[Chorus 1]
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don’t mek dem take you like who dem took out
Jah will be waiting there we a shout
Jah will be waiting there!
In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know bout variety
Single parents weh need some charity
Youths weh need some love and prosperity
Instead of broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan and any means and strategy
[Hook]
Say!
We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
(Nas: I’ve been waiting to do this track with you man! Yeah…ha ha)
(Yeah, yeah)
You know (They know)
We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
(Yeah you gotta keep walking y’all,
You gotta keep…)
[Nas]
Sometimes I can’t help but feel helpless
I’m havin daymares in daytime
Wide awake try to relate
This can’t be happenin like I’m in a dream while I’m walkin
Cause what I’m seein is haunting
Human beings like ghost and zombies

President Mugabe holding —– to innocent bodies
In Zimbabwe
They make John Pope seem Godly
Sacrilegious and blasphemous
In my lifetime I look back at paths i’ve walked
Where savages fought and pastors taught
WOMEN stomp in high heel boots
And badges screaming,”Young black children stop or I will shoot!”
I look back at cooked crack
Plus cars that pass by
Jaguars mad fly
And I’m guilty for materialism
Blacks is still up in the prison Trust that
So save me your sorries, I’m raising an army
Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley
We sparkin’ the ions, marching to Zion
You know how Nas be NYC state of mind I’m in
[Verse 1 Repeats]
[Hook]
I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don’t mek dem take you like who dem took out
Jah will be waiting there we a shout
Jah will be waiting there!
[Chorus 2]
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don’t mek dem take you like who dem took out
Jah will be waiting there we a shout
Jah will be waiting there!
In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know bout variety

Youths weh need some love and prosperity

Instead of broken dreams and tragedy
Youths weh need some love and prosperity

By any plan and any means and any strategy
Ay! say,
[Hook]
I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
You know…
We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
I like this song because it talks about what goes on in life on a daily basis. I also like this song because i like the artist he has a gift just like his father to send a message across by his song. It is similar to poetry because it rhyme’s. It also connects to life so that makes it a poetry. It gives me a self picture because I personally see it everyday. The verses also repeats like the chorus.
