Mick Jones (The Clash guitarist)
Michael Geoffrey "Mick" Jones (born 26 June 1955) is a British musician, singer and songwriter best known for his works with the Clash until his dismissal in 1983, then Big Audio Dynamite with Don Letts. Jones plays with Carbon/Silicon along with Tony James and has toured the world as part of the Gorillaz live band. In late 2011, Jones collaborated with Pete Wylie and members of the Farm to form The Justice Tonight Band.
Early life
Jones was born in Wandsworth, London, England to a Welsh father and a Russian Jewish mother. He spent much of his early life living with his maternal grandmother, Stella, in South London. Jones' cousin is Grant Shapps, the Tory MP for Welwyn Hatfield. Jones went to Strand School in South London – and then on to art school, because "[he] thought that's how you get into bands and stuff".
He started gaining recognition as a guitarist in the early 1970s with his glam rock band, The Delinquents. A short time later, he met Tony James and formed the proto-punk London SS. By 1976, that band had broken up and remaining members Jones, Paul Simonon and Keith Levene were seeking a new direction.

by: Vybz Kartel[Intro:]
Up to di time, u know it's kartel
And mi a tell u se me a di war angel and buss di hastel and mek bway blood run red like pastel easily
Up to di time some bway a du talk-by shootin breeze caught dem tongue
Nuttin but some ludied lips
U know how we roll
[Chorus: x2]
Well dem a mek noise, we nuh mek noise
Dem a go fi knife, we go fi 45
And we tek people life, huzzy and wife
Caan dis big badman and survive
[Verse 1:]
Gunshot a nail up you body like zinc
If a sumting weh u drink or a weh u tink
Mek a bway fuck round Waterford link
Mi gi him half pint, di other pint fi drink
White shirt turn pink, blood a run like red ink
Like di Titanic ina u skin shot a sink
U chat like AT&T like Sprint
Mi gun ina u mouth suck it like icy-mint
U gyal by she quint, ina di pussy cocky print
If u did sell dat and u mek mi get a hint
From you see di blacker you, di blacker you will tink
Kartel dun di pussyhole dem fi sprint
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2:]
Three lik mi se fi sen you go heaven
Big maculate mi sen fi go si di di devil
Bway come a tell bout you Jurassic bier pebble
Pump action full him a one twelve gate pebble
Nuff man a model gun like Heckle and Jekyll
Se dem a badman and a drink from gyal vessel
Dis Kartel you brain jump out caan sekkle
Teflon and Walcott a whistle like waan kettle
Wrong man you waan tackle, neck bruk like bokkle
Copper mek you face bite up like ripe apple
Kartel invincible, war without principle kool
Remember se mi gun dem invincible
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
