Lyrics I and I Survive - Bad Brains, Umberto Echo

I and I Survive

Why must all the people keep on shooting and robbing.
Why?
Why must must all the people keep on killing and fighting.
No, not I.
I and I will would never try.
No, not I.
I and I would never try.
And why must the rich man keep on hoarding all his money.
And why must the this poor man,
my living ain"t very funny.
No, not I.
I and I would never try.
No not I.
I and I would never try, try to live that way.
And what did Jah show them.
I and I survive.
They tried to stop this nation.
But I and I survive.
To chant down creation,
I and I survive.
And once again a nation.
