Jr Gong Damian Marley premiered his new video this week for “One Loaf Of Bread (Something For You)”. The tune is off the Gang War riddim compilation on Tuff Gong Records and the video is beautifully shot on 8mm film. The black and white super 8mm footage was all shot in Haiti, while the color super 8mm footage was all shot in South Africa.

Damian Marley - One Loaf Of Bread (Something For You)

Gang War riddim is becoming a favorite of mine this year. Every tune I’ve heard on this militant production is heart-felt and serious. The music brings a real conscious vibe that made even Damian sound good!

“One Loaf Of Bread” Lyrics

Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread [x4]

[Refrain]
Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread!
Poor people there is something for you
Dont let the pressures of the system get upon your head,
Poor people there is something for you
Mankind cares not for his sisters anymore, still there is something for you

Writen in the the book of life we shall live forever more,
There will be something for…

Rasta works a manifest an it a blossom an a bloom,
Nature always run it course the tide is rising wit the moon,
It only take a spark to put a fyah to de fume,
What is hidden in the dark shall be revealed so very soon,
Tell Pharoah free the prisoners from the dungeon an the doom,
Tell di youth fi natty dread an babylon put dem inna platoon,
Di trials an di perils deepa dan di blue lagoon,
Dem nuh wan fi nuh dem history you nuh see say dem a goon

[Refrain]
Each an every time you see we forward of a tour
There will be something for…

Jah gave Moses 10 commandments upon two tables of stone,
Led Israel out of Egypt an den promise dem a home,
Samson slew the Philisteens wid a donkey jaw bone,
And david slew goliath wid a two two wey crome,
Blessed be da man wey walked not inna di war zone,
Blessed be di man wey hair natty nappy an grown,
Blessed be di herbs wey keep we higher, nappy an stone,
Fyah fi a man wey sidding inna Babylon throne,
Curious woman go a dance an lef dem pickney dem alone,
Cannot take care off ya’self de gidian ready nuh roam,
Population unda pressure still dem have more man a clown,
An always tell dat which has been lost has not been found.

[Refrain]
Writen in the the book of life we shall live forever more,
still there is something…
Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread [x4]
