Tribes At War |
Tribal war |
We nuh want no more a dat |
Every man deserve to earn |
And every child deserve to learn, now |
Tribal war |
A nuh dat we a defend |
Every man deserve a turn |
Like a flame deserve to burn |
Man what happened to us? |
Geographically they moved us From africa |
We was once happiness pursuers |
Now we back stabbing, combative and abusive |
The african and arab go at it they most muslim |
Used to be moving in unison |
Disputes would end |
Bounty hunters and grape street get cool again |
Some standard housing |
Got the young running rampant |
Wilding, for a phantom |
He can style in Mask on his face |
Grabbing his luger |
Saying, 'gnobody move or I’ll shoot ya' |
Man you’re expiring |
Catch 25 and he does it like a man |
He sides with black, |
White pride and mexican |
Survive the best he can |
Strap a shank to his thigh |
Why do we all collide? |
Why do the young die? |
Extortion, murder and burglary |
Tattoos his chest |
Says his enemies don’t deserve to breathe |
Tribal war |
We nuh want no more a dat |
Everyone deserve to earn |
And every child deserve to learn, lord |
Tribal war |
A nuh dat we a defend |
Each and every man deserve a turn |
Like a flame deserve to burn |
I drink poison |
Then I vomit diamonds |
I gave you mandela, black dalai lamas |
I gave you music |
You enthused in my kindness |
So how dare you reduce me to donny imus |
Timeless in case we never been acquainted |
Flyness who made it It gets duplicated |
Mindless violence |
Well let me try to paint it Here’s the 5 steps |
In hopes to explain it One! |
Its me and my nation against the world |
Two! |
Then me and my clan against the nation |
Three! |
Then me and my fam' against the clan |
Four! |
Then me and my brother we no hesitation |
Uh! |
Go against the fam' until they cave in Five! |
Now who’s left in this deadly equation? |
That’s right, it’s me against my brother |
Then we point a kalashnikov |
And kill one another |
Tribal war |
We nuh want no more a dat |
Everyone deserve to earn |
And every child deserve to learn |
Tribal war |
A nuh dat we a defend |
Every man deserve a turn |
Like a flame deserve to burn |
Man a war tribal |
Over colors |
Over money, over land, and over oil, and over god |
And over idols, and even lovers |
Over breakfast, over dinner, over suppers |
Over jungle, over rema, over buckers |
Over brooklyn, over queens, and over rutgers |
Over red, and over blue, and over chuckers |
Over red and over blue and under covers |
Tribal trouble |
The drive by s double |
Cause the youth dem nah go war |
And go fight with knuckle |
The two sides scuffle |
Vietnam nah go a war |
With no more kung fu nun chuckle |
Missile and shuttle |
Huh |
And the queen of england and uncle sam |
Dem a flex dem muscle |
The tribal hustle |
Blood diamond poodle |
Survival struggle |
Tribal war |
We nuh want no more a dat |
Everyone deserve to earn |
Every child deserve to learn |
Tribal war |
A nuh dat we a defend |
Each and every man deserve a turn |
Like a flame deserve to burn |
