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
