Lucky Dube Number in the Book Mp3 Download

"Number in the Book" by Lucky Dube was released in 2003 as the opening track on his album The Other Side. The song is a reggae ballad about the importance of human life and the media's obsession with death. Dube sings about how every day, the news is filled with stories of people who have died, and how T.I. can lead people to believe that life is cheap and that death is inevitable. He argues that every human being is unique and has something to offer the world, and that we should not take life for granted.

Lucky Dube Number in the Book Lyrics

No glove, no love
You've been hearing this so many times
Don't you think it's time
To be a little more responsible?
Too many people die these days
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are there
Every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land
You don't make the commitment but your body does
Even if you're dead silent
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
In the shadows of the night
A lady from the street corner talks to a customer
Money exchanges hands
That's the formality and she says
No glove, no love?
You can pay me well, but it ain't worth my life
Too many people die these days
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are there
Every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land
It ain't worth my life, she said
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
I don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
I don't wanna be another number in the book?
