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 |
