Jah Cure -Prison Walls

JAH CURE …

"Prison Walls"

Behind these prison walls
Doing my paces
Doing my time
I am, Spending my restless nights
Visioning faces
Oh they all crying
Cryyyyyyyyyying
Prison ah nuh bed a roses
The livity it makes me ball
I wish that jah could come and take us back in time
Cause I swear
That I can be a better man
Yes I swear, if only you could understand
The faith in me shall set me free reflection
The faith in me shall set me free reflection

Behind these metal bars
To jah jah im chanting
Pray for your love divine
Im oh so sorry I am
Deeply I am hurting
The price ordained to be mine
Impossible to see the changes, that I’ve made in my life
All they see is just the boy, they left be behind
And I swear, That I can be a better man
Yes I swear, if only you could understand
The faith in me shall set me free reflection
The faith in me shall set me free reflection

Don’t judge me wrong
Cause now i am stronger than I was before
I was young and unwise
Didn’t you hear my cry
Impossible to see the change
That I’ve made in my life
All they see is just the boy i left behind
Cause i swear
I can be a better man
Cause I swear if only you could understand
I swear
I can be a better man
And I swear (if only you could understand), I swear
The faith in me shall set me free reflection (reflection)

In November 1998, while driving around Montego Bay, Cure was pulled over by the police and arrested on charges of gun possession, robbery and rape. He was prosecuted before the Gun Court[1] in April 1999, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison.[2] Cure was transferred from the St. Catherine Adult Correctional Centre to the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre, which had a digital recording studio the inmates could use. It was there that Cure released three albums and a number of singles, some of which have topped the Jamaican chart.[2] His first album Free Jah’s Cure The Album the Truth was released in 2000, it was followed by Ghetto Life in 2003 and Freedom Blues in 2005. More recently Cure has released the songs "Love Is", "Longing For" and "True Reflections", showing his unique voice and lyrical ability.

He was released from jail on parole on 28 July 2007, after serving 8 years of the sentence. Three days later, his fourth album, True Reflections…A New Beginning was released.

His first concert after he was released took place at the Reggae Sundance in August 2007. He was the last and headlining act.[3]

He is now signed to SoBe Entertainment International.

In 2008, Jah Cure released "Hot Long Time" feat. Junior Reid. "Universal Cure", Jah Cure’s 5th studio album, was to be released on 25 November 2008, but was postponed to a "mid 2009" release.

"The Universal Cure" was released in the US on 14 April 2009. The album features "Hot Long Time" (featuring Junior Reid, Flo Rida, and Mavado.), as well as "Mr. Jailer" and "Journey". The album was the first recorded album since his release from prison.

At the end of 2010, following the success of Jah Cure’s single "Unconditional Love" featuring Phyllisia, SoBe Entertainment released the second single off Jah Cure’s upcoming "World Cry" album, titled "Like I See It" featuring Rick Ross and Mavado.

Jah Cure married TV Host/Producer Kamila Mcdonald on 7 August 2011 in Sandy Bay Hanover. On 20 February 2012 the couple welcomed a baby girl named Kailani Belle. Their daughters name means "Beautiful Chief from the heavens".

. In the meantime, Jah Cure has become a role model for young males and an example of the efforts of the prison rehabilitation system to assist those in similar circumstances.

Born Siccature Alcott, Jah Cure was the second of four children for his mother Pansita and the only one for his father. Always singing as a youth, music provided his only escape and his fame as an artist began while he was a teenager recording several songs that soon became popular and made a name for him.

Today, Jah Cures Reflections has become a song for the nation, echoed by people all over the country and played repeatedly each day on local Jamiacan and international radio stations. While he waits in prison, the frustrations and the rigours of prison weigh heavily on him, especially threats and attempts on his life. He continues to declare his innocence of the crime for which he was convicted.

other women’s groups are reluctant to join the protest. ‘Jah Cure was not convicted by a jury and there were serious doubts about his conviction,’ said Cristel Amiss, coordinator of the Black Women’s Rape Action Project,
