Don't be scared It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility It was the first of May She stepped into the club Lookin' for the holy herb And a magical dub A virgin full of rhythm Her passion shining bright Her future in her hand And she was holding it tight Soon she found that holy herb It was sweet Caribbean She burned that holy herb In an organic chillum And she moves to the bass She reach out to creation They was time and space For this heavenly maiden It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility He was a mover and a shaker Who was prone to temptation He stepped up to the angel And made his objection Saying "Woman was not made To partake in this herb" He cursed and she was humble And she called him absurd Then she took him to a place That was not very far They connected at the waist In the back of her car Her innocence was gone In just under an hour He was forced to hang on As she flashed her girl power It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility Love is impatient It ignores traditions and conventions It is not bound by human constructs Jurisprudence and the laws of men Love reaches out and holds open-hearted It demands attention It is in a world of its own Yet it connects worlds that will forever Be set apart Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul Have a sweet hope of glory in my soul Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul Have a sweet hope of glory in my soul Oh I know I have and I feel I have A sweet hope of glory in my soul Make love not war This is how we do it Make love not war This is how we go Make love not war This is how we do it Make love not war This is how we flow Make love not war This is how we do it Make love not war This is how we go Make love not war This is how we do it Make love not war This is how we flow Our man had moved on Said he was wild Then our lady found She was heavy with child When she told her father He said "go seek him out" She found him six months later Down town hangin' about He said "who's the daddy?" She said "you are the one" He said "I am an alien And quite soon I'll be gone "Customs and immigration Want to get rid of me There's no peace in my nation I'm a war refugee "There"s no peace in my nation I'm a war refugee There are people in uniforms Out to get me "There's no peace in my nation There's nowhere I can hide If you really do love me Will you stay by my side? "I may groove on the dance floor But my pain is quite great I don't know all the answers But I'm trying to relate "Since I've been here in exile I just don't know my fate And a best-selling tabloids Always greet me with hate "There's no peace in my nation I'm a war refugee I'm surrounded by war But there's love inside me "There's no peace in my nation And I'm feeling downhearted When the Beastie Boys get me I'm told I'll be deported "So I need you to hold me tight For tomorrow in court And I need you fill yourself With positive forces 'Cos I wanna be wich' yu And I wanna live So I need you to give me All the love you can give" So the next day in court She held him really tightly Just fifteen minutes before HHe went in the dock And her positive thoughts Made her touch the almighty And our brother shivered From his toes to his locks He turned into a victim He turned into a loser He turned into a pimp And a real mister mean But she kept holding on And when those demon were gone He turned into himself Just a cool human being. And the judge said you can go now The judge set our man free He was free to be Indefinitely And the judge said you can go now And our joyous refugee Just said "Thank you, judge, And now I plan to raise a family" So he became a citizen Our angel became a wife And they had what modern folks would call A pretty happy life They met on the dance floor On the first of May And the baby that they had Grew up to be a club DJ It was the first of May A righteous holiday (Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul) It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility (Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul) It was the first of May A righteous holiday This was when the workers they Celebrate fertility (For I know I have and I feel I have A sweet hope of glory in my soul Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul For I know I have and I feel I have A sweet hope of glory in my soul) (Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul) Make love not war This is how we do it (Well I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul) Make love not war This is how we go (Well I know I have and I feel I have A sweet hope of glory in my soul) Make love not war This is how we do it Make love, not war, This is how we go Make love, not war This is how we do it Make love not war, This is how we flow.
