Zongzi
Zongzi (or simply zong) (Chinese: 粽子) is a traditional Chinese food, made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo, reed, or other large flat leaves. They are cooked by steaming or boiling. In the Western world, they are also known as rice dumplings, sticky rice dumplings, rice tamales or Chinese tamales.
Names
Cantonese (Joong), Burmese (who call it Pya Htote), Cambodians (nom chang), Laotians and Thais, (Bachang or Khanom Chang), Vietnamese (Bánh ú tro or Bánh tro) have also assimilated this dish by borrowing it from the local overseas Chinese minorities in their respective nations. In Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, they are known as bakcang, bacang, or zang (Chinese: 肉粽; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: bah-chàng), a loanword from Hokkien, a Chinese dialect commonly used among Singaporean-Chinese, rather than Mandarin. Along the same lines, zongzi is more popularly known as machang among Chinese Filipinos in the Philippines.
Origins
Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival (Mandarin: Duānwǔ; Cantonese: Tuen Ng), which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar (approximately late-May to mid-June).

Never Dis Di Man
by: SanchezThere are lots of signs in life
some that you may not like
you could be living this minute
the next minute your gone away aye
Hold up your heads my brothers
Be conscious, my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid aye
Chorus:
(Never...)
Never try to dis the man with the angle
(Ever...)
the one whose got the title
The one who sits high and he looks down low (aye, aye)
(Never...)
And if you ever dis the man with the angle
(Ever...)
the one who got the title
then you'll be someone that he dont know
Say a prayer and chant a psalm
Prayer that can keep the evil calm
You dont have to go to church and be a christian to call on Jah name
(Hallelljah)
Shout out the name Jahovah in the Valley
(Jahovah)
Shout out the name Jahovah on the Hills
(Hallelljah)
Shout out the name Jahovah on the Plains
(Jahovah)
Or even if it rains
Call on the name (Amen)
Call on (Amen) Jah name the same
Call on the name (Amen) yea (Amen)
CHORUS
Listen up, I no time skin-up
Time is short and Life is precious aye
Listen up, I no time skin-up
Life is short no time is precoius
You got to have the heart of a lion
if you want to reach mount Zion
You can never be afraid
just calll on his name
Life is no game...
(Life, Life, Life is no game)2x
Life is no game
(Life, Life, Life is no game)
CHORUS
There are lots of signs in life
Some that you may not like
You could be living this minute
The next minute your gone away aye
HOLD UP you heads my brothers
BE Conscious my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid ye, aye
