A year later the family moved to Denroy's homeland of Jamaica. In this period, three family members left the group. In Jamaica, Morgan Heritage began working with famed reggae producers Bobby Dixon and Lloyd James, resulting in the release of the critically acclaimed album Protect Us Jah (1997), followed by One Calling (1998), and the spiritually-inclined Don't Haffi Dread (1999). They released two albums by "The Morgan Heritage Family and Friends", and the Live in Europe! album recorded on their 2000 tour. Morgan Heritage toured in Europe again following the release of their 2001 album More Teachings... Their sixth studio album, Three in One, came out in 2003. They have released two DVD`s (Live In London and Live Over Europe 2003) with good success and "Full Circle" (2005)
There is a sibling band called L.M.S which is more hip-hop influenced without a band, that often tours with them and is a part of their family, as well as their father Denroy Morgan.
They are one of the most influential reggae bands today, returned to Jamaica and opened studio and realised 3 complilations of "Morgan Heritage Family and Friends" creating their own rhytms.
They have cooperated with most reggae bands and DJs (MCs) of today including Capleton, Luciano, Gentleman, Beres Hammond etc.
A Man Is Still A Man
Morgan Heritage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chorus
A man is still a man whether him wear jacket and tie, or walk barefoot.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
A man is still a man whether him rich or poor black or white for sure.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
Listen Friends. Lots of different people on the streets wiping car glass windows.
This is what they do day to day just to get a little food to eat.
Then you have others wearing suit and tie, work a good nine to five.
And they take it for granted that they're living a better life.
I say the color of our skin don't mean a thing if we do good or commit to sin.
We're all judged by the same, and Jah is his holy name.
So lets all be aware of how we entertain angels unaware.
For angels do move through men, whether here or from there.
Chorus
A man is still a man whether him wear jacket and tie, or walk barefoot.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
A man is still a man whether him rich or poor black or white for sure.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
Bridge
Everyman has freedom, ya.
For the wealth of a man.
Be sure when living life.
We treat all men right.
For we are all of the same.
Hear the words I cry.
Chorus
A man is still a man whether him wear jacket and tie, or walk barefoot.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
A man is still a man whether him rich or poor black or white for sure.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
Hear these words again. Lots of different people on the streets wiping car glass windows.
This is what they do day to day just to get a little food to eat.
Then you have others wearing suit and tie, work a good nine to five.
And they take it for granted that they're living a better life.
Chorus
A man is still a man whether him wear jacket and tie, or walk barefoot.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
A man is still a man whether him rich or poor black or white for sure.
The only difference is whether him good or evil.
A man is still a man(x3)
Only difference is whether him good or evil.
A man is still a man(x3)
Only difference is whether him good or evil.
The song "A Man Is Still A Man" by Morgan Heritage is an insightful social commentary that highlights the fact that every human being, regardless of their clothes, occupation, or socioeconomic status, is still a human being with the same inherent value and capacity for good or evil. The chorus emphasizes this point, affirming that a man is a man no matter what, but it is his actions that determine whether he is good or evil.
The first verse describes the different ways in which people make a living, from the humble street vendors and car windshield cleaners to the white-collar workers in suits and ties. However, the message is clear that it is not the external factors that define a person, but their character and the choices they make. The second verse uses religious language to reinforce this concept, stating that we are all judged by the same holy deity, regardless of our race or social status. The bridge asserts the importance of treating all men equally and with respect, acknowledging that we are all human and deserve to be treated as such.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to look beyond superficial differences and focus on the qualities that truly matter in a person, such as kindness, compassion, and integrity.
