Lyrics One Big Family - Half Pint, Sly & Robbie, A Tucker

One Big Family

I made my decision
This you got to understand
That we must all live as one
So many times we have been victimized
And so many times they’ve tried to criticize
By scandaling and blunder our name
Trying to bring another life to shame
But we nah play no game
Together we suck the cup once more
'Cause we a one big family living inna harmony
Yes, we are one big family living inna this yah country
George Phang and Bunny Wizzy
Josey Wales, Admiral Bailey
Peter Metro and Michael P
Junior Reid flashing it said speed
We are one big family living inna this yah country
Yes, we are one big family
That’s the way it ought to be
No more stumbling block in our way
Clear out obstacles from out of our way
Like roses need water
We all cling together
'Cause we a one big family living inna this yah country
Yes, we are one big family
That’s the way it ought to be
Don’t let them play tricks on your mind
Survival we need in this time
Take care of my son and I’ll take care of yours
Come tomorrow, we won’t live inna sorrow
One big family together inna harmony
Yes, we are one big family living inna this yah country
Simplest thing is blah blah blah
What is this in our little island?
Yes it’s all about
Yes, we can’t stand it no longer
We are one big family together inna harmony
Yes, we are one big family living inna this yah country
Joy, joy to the world
Joy, joy to boys and girls
Let mama and papa feel much better
We are one big family living inna this yah country
Yes, we are one big family together
That’s the way it ought to be
Woii oh, ooh woah
Brethren and sistren, weap no more
Row your boat to ashore
Woah
I made my decision, woah
This you better understand
That we must all live as one
One big family together inna harmony
Yes, we are one big family together
That’s the way it ought to be
One by one, we trod along
Singing songs of redemption
