Tribal War |
| Rude boys, be wise |
| War mongers |
| Cool down deh pon all the war and strife |
| Oneness |
| No tek nobody’s life |
| Unity |
| Tribal war (take heed) |
| We don’t want no more of that |
| Tell them like it is (a' nuh you we a' trod) |
| Tribal war (you get that?) |
| A' nuh that we a' defend |
| Tell them like it is (cry tears, why?) |
| Remove the blindfold |
| Primitive days end |
| We have done it already and we won’t do it again |
| Just to hurt your own brother |
| All your life was spent turning the wheels of evil |
| Put an end to di trend |
| What is done cannot be undone |
| Amen, Amen |
| Blood a' run, mother dying, starving children |
| Mom would a' say where di answer? |
| When will it end? |
| Some a' bawl, some a' holla |
| For me nah kill dem |
| Because of tribal war you nuh see di pickney dem |
| War and oppression, aid can’t reach them |
| What’s the solution for the matter? |
| All war have fi end! |
| Remember that |
| Tribal war (Buju Banton say so) |
| A' nuh that we a' defend |
| Tell them like it is |
| Why can’t we say peace? |
| And no bother wit' di war? |
| Too much blood a' run |
| Me can’t take it not at all |
| Politicians a' showing dominion |
| Setting no form of example fi the |
| Influencing the youth |
| With money and dem weapon |
| Was so greedy and blind to the situation |
| On election there comes politics fiction |
| And man a' rival and I see it’s tribal |
| Say see a, see a live like a cannibal |
| Our voice of the earth throughout the dancehall |
| Unu must educate the youth, tell dem di truth |
| Stop fight di truth it a' cause too much dispute |
| A what dem man a' say father Rebel? |
| So much things to say, let’s celebrate today |
| I tell you this, watch this, have mercy |
| A' election or not, we nuh haffi fire shot |
| 'cause remember that the most of us colour is black |
| Like sardine 'pon the slave ship the whole of we did pack, and |
| 'Till the whole of we end up a' Jamrock, you better |
| Promote life and demote death |
| You can’t big up the killing and yuh can’t blow breath |
| Honour these words and nuh disrespect |
| 'cause anything you work for man a' that you goin' get |
| Tribal war (man say put it on pause until you ready fi fight for a cause) |
| We don’t want no more of that (that's not needed my friend, put that to an end!) |
| Tribal war |
| A' nuh that we a' defend (let love abide) |
| Tell them like it is |
| Say from the day that me born me never see the need for strife |
| If them need to do that man a' with dem voice |
| So dash weh the gun and dash weh the bomb and dash weh di knife |
| A' full time now we start to unite |
| 'cause this is something that we must practice |
| Fight fi equal rights and justice |
| Right now we haffi try set some new trend |
| 'cause the tribalism it must come to an end |
| Tribal war (listen keenly) |
| We don’t want no more of that (take heed my brother take heed don’t follow that |
| greed) |
| Tribal war (fight for your wants and fight for your need and remember to sow |
| good seed) |
| A' nuh that we a' defend ('cause what you sow is that you reap) |
| Tell them like it is (an' nuh bother set up no whole leap a' fire heap 'pon ya |
| head yuh hear sah?) |
| Tell them like it is |
| Tell them like it is |
