Tribal War |
Rude boys, be wise |
War mongers… |
Cool down with all the war and strife |
Oneness. |
Unity |
Take heed… |
Honour you, we a trod |
You get that? |
Cry tears! |
Why? |
(Tribal war |
We don’t want no more of that |
Tell them like it is |
Tribal war |
I know that be a debase |
Tell them like it is) |
Remove the blindfold |
Primitive days end |
We have done it already and |
We won’t do it again |
Just to hurt your own brother |
And your life was spent |
Turning the wheels of evil |
Put an end to the trend |
What is done cannot be undone |
Amen, Amen |
Blood a run, mother dying |
Starving children |
What you say when me out star |
When me leave gate |
Some a bawl, some a holler |
For me nah kill dem |
Because of tribal war |
See the fifty-fifty dem |
War and oppression |
Tear can’t reach dem |
What’s the solution for the matter |
All war have fi end |
Remember that |
Buju Banton say so |
Hear dat |
(Tell them like it is) |
Why can’t we say peace? |
And no bother wit de war? |
Too much blood a run |
We can’t take it none at all |
Politicians, showing dominion |
No form an example fi the people cope on |
Influencing the youth |
With money and dem weapon |
Why so greedy and blind to the situation |
On election there comes politics fiction |
And man a rival, and I see it’s tribal |
See a come, see a holla |
It like a cannonball |
Our voice of the earth throughout the dancehall |
And we must educate the youth, tell them truth |
Stop fight and loot, it cause too much dispute |
So much things to say, let’s celebrate today |
I tell you this, watch this, have mercy |
Election or not, we no 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 on Jamrock |
You better promote life and demote death |
Yuh can’t big up the killing and yuh can’t blow breath |
Honour these words and no disrespect, |
Cause anything you work for man a that you goin' get |
(Tribal war…) |
Man say put it to a pause until your ready to fight for a cause |
That’s not needed my friend |
Put that to an end |
Let love abide |
(Tell them like it is) |
Say from the day that me born, me never see me need for strike |
If me need to do that man it with my voice |
So mash up the gun and dash up the bomb and dance through the night |
Full time now we start to unite |
Cause this is something that we must practice |
Fight for equal rights and justice |
Right now we need to try set some new trend |
Cause the tribalism it must come to an end |
Listen… |
Take heed my brother, take heed |
Don’t follow that greed |
Fight for your wants and fight for your need |
And remember to sow good seed |
'Cause what you sow is that you reap |
A no bother set up whole leap a fire pon ya head, hear sah |
Tell them like it is |
Tell them like it is |
Tell them like it is |
